User Reviews for SV - Private Photo Vault PRO

Update to Prior Review

This is an update to a prior, much lower rated review, as the prior sync issues I had apparently were an issue with their server and haven’t happened again recently. Overall the app is very good. The primary issue I continue to have also has to do with syncing new pictures to their cloud vault, a premium feature. Any time the app is started anew, the sync won’t happen automatically. I have to hit the View Details option, pause the sync, then restart it in order to get it to actually take place. This has been happening since I subscribed to the Pro option, and continues to happen with every update. If not for the relatively minor issue described in the previous paragraph, this would be a five star app.

Update review for 10.1

First off, the update did fix some of the issues. Log in is faster, however, it seems if you import an video or edit, a large chunk of your pictures and videos become placeholders and not the picture itself. I’ve lost big slices of my content and since my device backed up with the new version, I can not restore back. So I hope that the next update will restore my items. I am sorry to say that I may have to start moving what items that are left to an different platform. I’ll give the designers of this program a week or so before I do. But sadly, until then, my use of the application will have to be at a minimum.

Simple, elegant design, works great!

Does everything one would hope for at a minimum to keep photos, gifs, videos, etc. secure: passcode protection; easy import/export; albums for organizing; slideshow mode; and even a built-in web browser to make surfing for and downloading images easy and secure. A few suggestions for advanced features to consider for future versions: facial recognition; finding duplicates; “tagging” (with names, categories, genres, etc) and to search/sort by such tags; and the holy grail of all: easily downloading videos.

Was awesome - Now looking for a new app

I have the standard and Pro versions of this app and I never make complaints. I have used this app exclusively for years and have always been very happy with it. It’s sort of “bare bones” but it did what it was supposed to do and did it well. It was easy to import pics just like you want. The only complaint I ever had was that you couldn’t sort or organize folders. Any new folder just gets placed at the end and you can’t make sub-folders. Since applying the last update, it jumbles pics up and they get all unorganized in the import. If you need the pics to be in order, you now have to manually do that after the update. I’ve given the developer 4 months to fix it and nothing. They must know because there are a lot of other complaints about the same thing. If anyone has a recommendation for a good app for securely storing pics let me know.

Great app! UX needs improvement.

Ive been using this app (pro version) for many years now and its never lost a pic. The photo editor is amazing! Sometimes ill even import a photo just to edit it and then export it because the editor is so much more capable than the stock iOS photo editor. I use this app every day. It's persisted photos over bricked phones with no worries. Rock solid.My only complaint is that it requires way too many button clicks to do most things. For example, to import a photo from you library it requires nine button clicks! The worst it the three dialogs that must be dismissed after every import. Two of them could easily be removed. The experienced user doesn’t need to read those warnings every single time. Editing a photo also requires way too many clicks. Taking a photo within the app is a great feature but each photo requires four clicks! It should be one.The app is stable and well coded but it smells like the software developer was also the UX Designer. If thats the case it could really use a dedicated designer. Developers think from the perspective of the technology (for example the photo library they chose). Designers think from the perspective of the user. It's a huge difference and it shows. One missing feature is nested directories. Even two levels would be enough.Another missing feature is multiple (more than two) alternate vaults. There's no reason why there should be only two.

Great 😎

I was using the Video Safe 2 app which was good for many years until it wasn’t. I saw this app had the most reviews and they were positive. I think this company is based out of Las Vegas. The features are great and the app works great. I exported the photo via usb from old app and transfered photos via a usb to lightning cable to my iPhone. It worked great. There are some really great features like if you put the phone screen down you can have it automatically open the music app for example. There is a decoy so you can put another passcode to unlock to a decoy with some photos that aren’t private. This app has a yearly charge but I think it’s worth it so the developer of this app will keep working on it for years to come and improve it. Oh and I saw this app has been around since 2011 which is good. You want to go with an app that will be around for a long time. Next I would like there to be a disguise for the app like if I open it then it appears to be a calculator etc. I think i read they are working on that.

I love this app

For years i’ve been compiling photos and videos without any categorization. This app, allows you to save, categorize, crop picture, Display as a slideshow, lock album files, export import from iPhone to computer and vice versa and much more.Once the files have been Uploaded to photo vault, one has the option of deleting them from photo album on iPhone or keeping them.Don’t waste your time on the free app of this version, it doesn’t work properly, nor allow full upload of the pictures.One problem I’ve experienced thus far, is the creation of albums. Sometimes I have to tap numerous times for the creation of the album. For four bucks, it’s money well spent.

Used to be OK, not now

Update 11.4 ruined a reasonable product. It used to be the only glitch was loss of selected picture sequence when adding over 2K photos in a folder. But now, when the app boots up, random pictures from the content flash by, yep, before the login. Hope you didn’t save anything embarrassing! To top it off, the web browser no longer shows the entered web page, just the log of where I tried to go. It hasn’t laughed at me yet, but I know it’s coming. Try a newer, solid app and kiss your current collection good bye…

Rip off 2

I had the same problem I got a new iPhone and when everything backed up from iCloud onto it my photo vault app was empty and I lost precious pictures of my grandchildren and other memories that I cannot get back. It’s sad. Now I bought this brand new iPhone and the same thing happened again my pictures are gone and all I have is a clean photo vault to start with. This app and I think I paid $1.99 for it I can’t remember is a rip off and it screwed me over on my memories that I can no longer get back to show somebody or see ever again.

I hate the new version of the app

The previous version of this app was very stable between updates and I’ve been able to add and edit large numbers of photos without problems on my Ipad ever since I bought the pro version nearly 3 years ago. Well lo and behold my Ipad somehow turned on auto update in the App Store without my express permission and installs this train wreck of an app. I am unable to move pictures around in my albums without the app crashing and not saving my changes. Also when I scroll through an album random thumbnails will turn white and I have to scroll up or down on the screen to restore the thumbnail images. Restarting my Ipad does nothing to resolve the issues and reinstalling the app is completely unreasonable due to the amount of pictures I’d have to back up somewhere and reinstall. I also am not a fan of the edit toolbar changes. It isn’t as intuitive as the last version. The crop tool in particular is very buggy and the image keeps moving around on my screen when I try to adjust what I want to crop. This is very disappointing because I used this app extensively and there aren’t really any better alternatives on the App Store. I hope someone is actually reading these reviews (although I seriously doubt it) and gets to work on repairing this “update”. Otherwise I think I’m done using this app for good. Device info: Ipad Pro non cellular version 256GB storage capacity 130GB used purchased in 2018 IOS version 12.1.1
