## Description

Vault securely hides and protects your private photos and videos with strong encryption. Access is guarded by a private password or Touch ID, and newly captured media can be encrypted immediately, preventing it from appearing in your main photo album. It also supports bulk imports and intelligent folder management for a tidy, organized gallery. 

Premium features include intruder protection that captures a photo when a wrong password is entered, a camouflage mode that disguises the app as a camera, and private cloud backup to your personal space. The app can auto-exit when the device is face down or when switching to other apps, and it offers Vault Pro subscriptions with clear privacy policy and terms links.

## Review summary

Most reviews are negative due to password recovery issues, data loss after updates, and poor support. Crashes and sign-in problems compound access difficulties. A few users note the core hiding feature works and that they used the app for years, but reliability and support gaps dominate the feedback.

### Pros

- Core feature to securely hide and protect photos and videos.
- Used for many years; the app has a history of long-term usage across devices.
- Some users describe the app as good or excellent when it works.

### Cons

- Password reset is not available or is ineffective, leading to loss of access when the passcode is forgotten.
- Users report data loss or inability to retrieve items after updates or crashes (vault contents disappear).
- Customer support is often unresponsive or slow, with months without resolution for issues.
- App instability includes crashes, failure to sign in, and network/connection errors, sometimes on newer devices.
- Difficulties exporting or migrating data out of the vault or retrieving data after reinstall or on new devices.
