Calculator# Hide Photos Videos Reviews

by MusicLovin'Momma

One star is even too much for this!!! I was somewhat happy with CalculatorHidePhotosVideos, until I decided to send a video to a friend. I couldn’t figure out how to do that since that app was the only place the video was stored. I decided to purchase CalculatorHidePhotosVideos to see if that could solve my dilemma. Nope, once I purchased CalculatorHidePhotosVideos , it would immediately crash and not even open! I emailed the company and have gotten no response thus far. Hopefully you don’t need their customer service for anything because it seems non existent. So as far as I can see, it’s a functional app as long as you don’t pay for it. I wouldn’t trust photos/videos to it solely though. You may not be able to send them to anyone or retrieve them if something happens to your phone. I’m out the money I paid for CalculatorHidePhotosVideos , but it’s money well spent if I can warn others about the potential problems.

It’s an iPhone 7s Plus with iOS 13.2.3

I just upgraded to the iPhone 11 Pro Max, all of my apps were transferred. I tried getting into CalculatorHidePhotosVideos again and there seems to be no way to login. It seems like you have to create a new account. I even used the same email address and passcode as originally. Even if I didn’t, theres no “forgot user ID” or “forgot password” to help me get back into CalculatorHidePhotosVideos that I paid for. The account I logged into, there aren’t any photos there. Don't waste your money paying for CalculatorHidePhotosVideos. What a nightmare!

Update: To the developer response: I don’t need to email you about which categories are the important ones. Maybe I wasn’t clear in my Review but all of the Categories should be backed up. Actually my first sentence said that lol.

Original Review: As far as I know CalculatorHidePhotosVideos doesn’t back up all the categories to Dropbox. Important categories with information I would like to backup. Unless it doesn’t tell you inside CalculatorHidePhotosVideos . If I’m understanding correctly that it doesn’t back up some categories. I would like the company to add that information to the description. I actually thought it was at one point. I could be remembering wrong. Either way it should be clear in the description that CalculatorHidePhotosVideos doesn’t backup certain categories of information. I don’t know why it doesn’t. I don’t wanna use it because of that. I still have it installed and a subscription. But really it’ll be canceled before it renews. It would be a great app if whatever reason they can’t backup some info vs others is fixed, 6 stars. but it’s worthless to me unless that was to happen.

This application is essentially worthless if you want back ups. If you utilize something like dropbox as your back up and you access dropbox on your computer, it’s giving you no privacy. The file storage that I use for back up on dropbox is completely unencrypted. So while your photos might be protected behind a password on your phone, their backup is accessible via your desktop dropbox program where anybody can search on it and pull up your “private” materials. Poor design.

And I want to emphasize that spotlight on OS X will search dropbox as well as your hard drive so any person snooping on your computer or easily find these pictures and files.

Was a 5 star app for 5 years! Now it’s a 1 star app. Only reason i am giving it 2 stars instead of one is because I used to love CalculatorHidePhotosVideos. I have used CalculatorHidePhotosVideos for over 5 years. It was perfect! Always my go to app! Definitely my favorite app! I used it pretty much daily! Never had a issue with it! … until recently... Now it crashes more then it works. I can’t click open a photo in gallery. Whenever I click anything on my gallery it crashes. I can open and select photos in my albums but that’s it. I can’t save them back to my phone or share them or do anything. It either dose nothing or crashes. If I try to use CalculatorHidePhotosVideos for over 5 minutes it crashes. Can’t use Dropbox to save anything because it crashes. I also wish I could use more then just dropbox to backup my things. I got so many things I don’t want to lose on CalculatorHidePhotosVideos. Please fix it!

I have had the older version of CalculatorHidePhotosVideos for a few years. I paid for the premium app and now they have changed the format and did not update the older version to accommodate the iOS 14.5. CalculatorHidePhotosVideos was put to replace the older version. I had lots of videos and pictures stored on the older app. Now that the older version is no longer being used, I lost all my videos and pictures of my family. I am very upset about this. I have sent 3 emails to the developer and they did not even give me the courtesy of answering my email. I will call Apple to see what can be done. The photos are not replaceable since they were older photos of my deceased parents and family members. If you are the developer, please give me the courtesy of an explanation why I can’t access my photos from the older version. This is a very poor way of doing business. Thank you.

Targeted ads from my online activity and use of other apps every time you click save or complete an action, but so far I’ve been able to close them immediately. When I open my app it is clearly not a calculator but a vault so if I were trying to hide something I didn’t want someone to know was on the phone this wouldn’t be the way to do it. Also only lets me access pictures from my camera roll, not google photos, even when the image is still saved on my device, rather than online only. It’s ok for my purpose of securing the healing progress of a surgery I’ve had so my kids don’t stumble upon the graphic images but not sneaky or secretive at all.

Everything about CalculatorHidePhotosVideos feels too good to be true, but it was. It’s amazing, but I have a huge issue with the video section. When I put a video from my gallery to the video section of CalculatorHidePhotosVideos , a horrifying screeching noise is heard through the entire video. I put it back to my regular gallery and listened again and that sound wasn’t there. I put it back into CalculatorHidePhotosVideos storage and it came back. I feel like it’s enough to make me go deaf because even at 1 volume on my phone, it’s causing my ears to be in great pain. If this wasn’t the case, I’d give it 5 stars without question, but not being able to see videos unless you take it out of CalculatorHidePhotosVideos is kind of frustrating.

Please please please remove the initial logo when you go onto CalculatorHidePhotosVideos . It completely gives away the fact that it’s a secret photo/video vault, and thus defeating the purpose of even having a secretive app if it gives it away instantly. Regardless, this is probably the best app of it’s type rn, all the other ones are weird and/or sketchy or just have features that aren’t suitable, so kudos to that.

My only real complaint is the ads, every time I add a new photo or video I get an add. It’s incredibly annoying and off putting, the only reason I keep CalculatorHidePhotosVideos and don't delete it for another one without ads is because of what I previously stated, this is in general probably the best.

Other than that, it’s a solid app. Calculator works just fine too, nothing suspicious (other than the super obvious logo. but im sure I can make some bs up to explain it should the situation arise).

Im not noticing any problems with it, aside from my two complaints. 3.5/5.

Also, warning: it puts stuff out of order if you pick more than like 3 things to add at once.

This was an ok spot to store pictures and videos...HOWEVER once you run out of storage you have to buy their premium plan. I opted to use a different app, and while I had no issues moving pictures back onto my phone, videos are a whole different story. You apparently can’t move videos back to your phone unless you buy the premium plan. So how I have videos trapped in CalculatorHidePhotosVideos I no longer want to use. Very frustrating.

Update: received a response from the developer that had nothing whatsoever to do with the inability to move videos off CalculatorHidePhotosVideos and back onto my phone.

Title says it all. It does what it says. Does it pretty well and has ways to customize it to your liking. User friendly enough to use. Also, tried many others but this was just worked and no subscription needed. I have one problem and another sort of gripe about it. I don’t like ads but I understand free apps don’t pay bills so I’ll sit through an ad or two. My only concern is the image scale to the smaller side so when I look through photos not everything is in view. A little annoying but everything else makes it worth while. Better than the rest In my opinion.

CalculatorHidePhotosVideos looks great and trusted and i especially love the error disguise mode and the variety of different types of passwords u can choose from. But there is a bug that keeps happening for me that i think needs to be kept into consideration. Every time i try to add photos (works for videos) it shows they are selected from camera roll but then takes me to a blank white page. It says they are selected but they aren’t. I say make it easier to add stuff from the camera roll. Like once you select just press done and it gets added into the album. I have an iphone X so i’m not sure if that matters but if you could please fix this bug that would be great! thanks

Amazing app, I’ve used it for months and had no problems at all, very good interface and easy to use. But I stopped logging into it a couple of months ago and now that I needed to go in I could not remember my password. I’ve tried looking for how to recover the things I’ve had on CalculatorHidePhotosVideos but could not find a way. The description says that I can recover the password but I cannot find a way to do that. Developers please help me out here. Otherwise a great app, this review is more of a help message to the developers due to a user mistake. This is a great app and I recommend anyone who needs something like that to download it.

by Sk-Double-y

I think it’s very useful because you know you can hide things from people and they’ll just think that you have a Calculator on your phone like normal people do I didn’t get an unsettling feeling about it when I downloaded it because when you make the videos put in your bank account passwords and all of that they have your information and I know what you look like so I feel like somebody’s talking you kidnap you or something like that nothings happened so far though I was about to make a video and I kind a got scared at first but nothings happened and I’ve had it for a little while now

by A3rynSaturn

So, everything is perfect. It works just as it should. It stores your photos, videos, etc. It has extra precautions for security. I mean, I would 100% believe it was a calculator if I didn't know. I recommend to anyone and everyone.

But I have a few suggestions. First, the videos come out insanely loud. As far as I know you can't adjust volume, but maybe I spaced it. I would also like the ability to re-download stuff imported into CalculatorHidePhotosVideos . So far, I have not found a way to do so. It would be very helpful. Thanks

To be able to store many photos and apps is surprisingly well, up to 300 (or more) is basically what the average person will use up anyways, and the way that is is discreet is well enough to not notice when it’s at your screen, looking like an ordinary calculator and functioning like one, but the reason why I don’t give it a full 5 stars is that, well, you cannot store gifs nor files, and I feel that if that feature was added, CalculatorHidePhotosVideos would receive even more downloads and reliability.
Overall, CalculatorHidePhotosVideos is pretty good at doing the thing it’s meant to do and does it effectively, with some minor tweaks, this will definitely be a 5 star app!

by Sarafina101

CalculatorHidePhotosVideos was working really well! Today I went back to check my pictures and documents I saved and all I get is "unfortunately calculator has stopped working " what am I supposed to do then?
UPDATE:
My bad, please read the developers response below:
"Sorry for the inconvenience, we would like to inform you that this is not an error, it's a feature which is known as "Disguise Mode" and you enabled this feature. Please tap double click on "Unfortunately, Calculator# has stopped working" and then tap a single click "OK". We hope this would resolve your issue. Thanks, Calculator# Team."

by Sh0ck3r34

It was working fine first month and now I go to open it and it pops up error message and automatically closes won’t let me get any farther.. so what happens to my pics are they gone since I can’t access CalculatorHidePhotosVideos ? That’s definitely not cool this needs fixed right away if fixed I’ll update my review but for now it ain’t working for me on iPhone 12 Pro Max…
Update I enabled a disguise mode so that’s why it kept popping up and they emailed me back how to get out of it so it was always working just didn’t know I enabled that mode lol… good app

If you want an app that allows you to store a lot of photos then I recommend this one!

A lot of apps that allow you to hold photos separately from your camera roll only allow a certain number of photos before you need to pay for some sort of subscription. Luckily, CalculatorHidePhotosVideos hasn’t given me any problems with that and I‘ve been able to put a lot of photos on it! No pop ups asking for payment! I’m not very adamant about giving apps reviews, (in fact this would be my first) but I felt the need to write a review after having gone through so many apps that were unreliable and finally finding this seemingly flawless one!

So, thank you to the developers of CalculatorHidePhotosVideos . :)

I have used photo vault for years but I ran out of memory on my phone due to photo vault. Apparently when you delete videos, photo vault doesn’t free up that memory. I deleted CalculatorHidePhotosVideos and gained 35 GB. I then went in search for a new vault and discovered this one. So far; it seems like a very good vault and with the $5 per year full feature version , it has a lot of bells and whistles. One feature I like is the error message that displays if someone launches CalculatorHidePhotosVideos and don’t follow up with the proper procedure to access the contents. Like I said, I’ve used a similar app for 5 years, this one is a strong competitor. I am in no way affiliated with the developer. I was a bit reluctant at first due to calculator icon but it has proven itself valuable. Good to hide your porn and “home videos”, (wink wink nod nod) .

The days we live in now tend to be filled with tons of info and for that matter as individuals we just don’t like everyone knowing everything and often times it’s important to keep information from getting into the hands of others. Weather it be a plain old password or confidential files or documents it’s nice to have somewhere you can store all of it together and keep it organized along with encrypted and hidden if you choose. It is so easy to use and so complex it’s easy to let someone see certain things in CalculatorHidePhotosVideos without them knowing there is more and at the same time another person looking could access something completely different but still hidden I really like the way you can disguise different things in CalculatorHidePhotosVideos so many layers of disguise.

by Van483

I thought CalculatorHidePhotosVideos was ideal, but then found the sound from my videos is full of scratchy noises via Bluetooth. MP3 files play clearly via Bluetooth. And other apps play the same videos clearly via Bluetooth, so now I need 2 apps to do what CalculatorHidePhotosVideos is supposed to do. I also noticed that my mp3 file kept playing after I closed CalculatorHidePhotosVideos . I want a fast, clean shutdown. Cosmetically, the numbers on the fake calculator face are in the wrong position, which spoils the illusion. The WiFi uploading worked well, which is much appreciated.

by Soace Issues

So not sure if anyone else has this problem but I don’t seem to have enough storage and it requires you to pay for more.. guess it’s time to consolidate. Other than that, I love the security feature. It’s absolutely perfect with the fake prompt then the fingerprint scanner to follow if they for some reason get passed the prompt that looks like a crashed app. I am interested in finding out if there is anyway to back up the photos in CalculatorHidePhotosVideos jic I need to get a new phone and re-download it. I’ve had vaulty and other apps where that was the case and I never got any of those photos back.

by Hamptons_lily

Downloaded this awhile ago and forgot my pin. However, the developers got back to me in a timely fashion. All you have to do is dial 911% and an email is sent with reset instructions. The interface of CalculatorHidePhotosVideos seems outdated, but it looks more inconspicuous than any of the other hidden photo vaults on the market. It also holds a wide range of media!!!!!

by Ady Gil1124

Wonderful app for hiding... private things. The only issue is that after enabling the “app error” screen, all the other numbers on the keypad except for 3 stop working.

Maybe it was just a one-time thing, but I hope you guys fix it I other people say it’s happening too.

by Tyreer692720

It is a great app but let’s say I get a new phone and I want to keep my photos. Is there a way I can transfer them to my new phone without going into my old phone and screenshotting all of them and then reuploading them to my folders?

by Imgoodwithit

CalculatorHidePhotosVideos works great I just messed up my password somehow, I entered a long password that I remember but i guess I entered it in wrong two times and now I can’t access my stuff, and I don’t know how to use my email to recover it

by Derpifyz

I enjoy CalculatorHidePhotosVideos throughly, it does what I need it to do but one thing, when I import a photo from browser, CalculatorHidePhotosVideos sends the picture to my album but the photo is just an “x” on a black back ground. Besides that, CalculatorHidePhotosVideos is awesome :)

by SabinaAPT

I like CalculatorHidePhotosVideos, but the only thing that I really don’t like is that whenever I add a video, I can’t hear the sound for some reason. Can you guys please fix that for me, that’s the only thing I want you guys to fix :)

by Airforce Brat 1949

Desperately,looking for the secret calculator that I down loaded around 2016.
The password to get in, started with a period, four numbers then another period.
My iPad was stolen and I had so many pics in that app. But I can’t seem to find the exact app as before. Any help would be so much appreciated.

by Inayaq

I just got CalculatorHidePhotosVideos, and so far I’ve been having a great time. I’ve stored my fav pics in case they don’t get backed up on iCloud, it looks really real and nobody can EVER guess that there is a place where you can just hide photos, videos, passwords, AUDIOZ, documents and more. I definetly reccomend getting CalculatorHidePhotosVideos. DO IT!!!!

by Celeste0131

Hi, my old phone has the application already but right I have another phone but the old pictures doesn’t download?? What can I do for recovery because these new version it’s so different??

by Urkelthomas

Outstanding design. Everything regarding layout is perfect and amazing features added along CalculatorHidePhotosVideos . 10/10 would recommend for others

by Yknitt

I have enjoyed interacting with the program. The internet search stated good reviews and easy use of CalculatorHidePhotosVideos . I’m stating that all was said of CalculatorHidePhotosVideos has more than exceeded my expectations.

by "NowhereMan"

Seems really great.
One tiny issue: When in calculator mode you can't do cents. Such as .52 It doesn't register a decimal thus making .52 into $52 instead. Any way of fixing this?
