Gallery Vault-Hide Photo Video

I've trusted this app for years now, and it has let me down twice....phenomenally. Just remember to do yourself a favor and backup all of your files to a separate device and storage because "uninstall protect " and setting the app as manager does not mean that the files can't be erased by some other means, I have no idea what happened to mine, but I'm fortunate enough that nothing serious was lost this time....well over 200 videos lost, completely lost.

Used to be great, but the ads have gotten completely out of control. Half the time I can't even get logged into the app because they screwed up the sizing and the ad can't be closed. Then when I'm in, an ad every time I hope a folder. Then every time I try to open a file within that folder. Upgrade to pro? And reward you having taken such a huge dump on your free users? I think not. OS's are starting to add features now that let us lock pics without third party ads anyway, so... Yeah.

Could you please add screen ratio for the video player to allow for full screen video from edge to edge? I know it would crop the top/bottom but I would still like to have that option for some videos. The premium version is very nice but the free version is way too ad intrusive. Update: I just found the "open with" option in the player that allows changing the default player which allows me to adjust the screen ratio from edge to edge. I didn't see that option before and I'm glad it's there.

At it's core, this is a good app and has potential to be the best of its kind on the store. However, you are bombarded by ads and the pricing for the pro features to remove ads is absolutely ridiculous. None of the pro features justify subscription billing, and the lifetime price is way too high even at the current 60% off. I was going to purchase the pro features but the pricing model was a big red flag. I currently cannot recommend this.

One thing the changelogs never mention is that they keep finding places to put more ads, but the pictuer viewer remains half functional. As of this review, new ads have just been added. Ads can appear when closing a photo, closing a video, closing the web browser, closing an album, at the end of albums, the top of the list of albums, the top of the albums page, as every option of the second tab other than the browser, and the entire bottom half of the second tab. It's too much, not worth the $

Recommended. New user to the android world. MS will be stopping support for Windows Phones for many apps by the end of 2019. This app was easy to setup. The free version contains ads and has some limitations, but does not effect basic functionality. Does what it claims. I found other version that stored the files on the internal memory. This app stores the files on removable SD memory and uses very little internal memory of the phone. I purchased the lifetime upgrade for $ 12. Added some useful features.

Works great, it's my favorite private file system for hiding all my embarrassing pics and vids. Would be 5 stars if it added the following two features: 1. Ability to sort/view by filename. (For instance, I'd love if the pics/vids themselves had display options with visible labels, similar to the folders list). 2. Search function. This is sorely missed. Right now I have to semi-blindly search/organize using only thumbnails as guides. This is mostly a problem with videos.

I had this app for about a year and I loved it, no ads to it. Then I suddenly couldn't add any pictures to it. I finally got frustrated with it and uninstalled and reinstall it. Now it uploads again but every time I move from or to a picture album it has an ad pop up. Very frustrating. I am currently looking for a new app.

I finally deleted this terrible app. It used to be great, but now it's so many freaking ads it's unusable. 1 add at startup, one add when you click on anything, if you add anything ads are playing and about 5 files later more ads, then move to another folder more unskippable ads. Trust me, better apps out there with reasonable adds.

I rate this 5 stars if for no other reason then you can pay a lifetime cost (very reasonable) and never have a subscription cost like pretty much all other gallery vault programs. The program works as expected. Very simple to add and remove items. All around good program. I thank the developers for making a lifetime purchase option.
