The app is praised as trustworthy and easy to use. However, several reviews report stability issues (unresponsiveness or failed actions) and some UI glitches. A security UX concern is that warnings and password-recovery options on the main screen could expose information. Some users report data loss in rare cases. Improvements should target stability and tightening security UX while preserving privacy features. ### Pros - Privacy and a lockable vault protecting photos and videos - Proven reliability with long-term use (years trusted by users) - Easy-to-use hiding/locking of media - Positive overall sentiment and satisfaction from a broad user base ### Cons - Stability issues: app can become unresponsive and actions like hiding items can fail (operation cancelled) - Data loss risk: reports of the app disappearing along with hidden passwords/data in some cases - Security/UX concerns: warnings about wrong codes and password-recovery prompts on the main screen may expose information - UI glitches: clock hands can appear off-center ## Similar extensions and apps - [Clock Vault - Gallery Lock](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.clockvault.hidephotovideo) — 21,073 users - [Clock Vault, Gallery Lock](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.clockvault.photo.video.hide.locker) — 218,405 users, 4.13 / 5 - [Clock Vault–Hide Photos,Videos](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.vault.privacyvault) — 16,180 users, 4.67 / 5 - [Vault clock : Photo Video Lock](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.lembark.watch.applock) — 2,635,217 users, 3.77 / 5 - [Clock Vault Hide Photos, Video](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.clock.vault.hide.photo) — 8,111 users - [SecurePix Discreet Photo Vault](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.securepix.clockvault.hide.photo.video.gallerylocker.safevault) — 165 users - [Phone vault:Hide photo & video](https://chrome-stats.com/d/kgfmob.phonevault) — 20,308 users - [Clock Lock -Hide Photos Videos](https://chrome-stats.com/d/sarvainfo.clocklock.walletlock.photovideohide.datascure.clockapplock) — 43,651 users - [Clock Vault - Photo Locker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/avalon.clockvault.clockvault) — 55,487 users, 4.18 / 5 - [Private Photos Clock Lock](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mystic.hdncv.hidevault) — 13,121 users, 5.00 / 5 - [Clock Vault Photo Video Locker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.clockvault.photovideo.locker.hiddenvault.digitalvault.secretvault.photolock.lock) — 359 users - [Clock Vault-Hide Photos videos](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.clock.lock.app.hider) — 2,286,735 users, 4.46 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/ws.clockthevault)
