Privault - Private Photo Vault Reviews

by Hehehsiskdjhd

Ok first of all I was here to hid my pics. Like who was not. I’m over here deleting pictures for nothing...First of all, when import files pops up I push on camera roll. Then, Privault gives you a choice of which pictures you want to import onto Privault . Which, when I tried to import the photo it says import then you press import. Then this thing pops up on my screen saying “Delete imported files from this camera roll.”. Then I click yes obviously... I then see my imported images which there were NO images were there. Privault DELETED some of my images and not even saving the image on Privault . It gets worse. I found out Privault actually has ads. Like REALLY Privault has one job. To keep some stuff private! There is this feature Called “vip”. Which costs $6.99!! And the “vip package” has NO description and doesn’t tell you what the vip package does. Privault is clearly trying to steal your money. Please DO NOT download and waste your time.

it deleted my pics from the camera roll and never stored them so when I went to look at the pics they were gone. plus if you’ve already reached the limit it wont recognize you want to delete pics from Privault to swap out for new ones, it just deletes them off your camera roll without ever uploading new pics to the album on Privault . best thing to do is I would send the same pics from the camera you wanna hide to yourself via txt to your own phone number just as a backup to make sure its still there incase it gets deleted on both the camera and Privault when its uploaded. then its still in your txt messages to recover

Update: DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR USE Privault. There’s no way to get your pictures back out after you put them into Privault. It’ll take your pictures, delete the originals, and then you are forced to pay for Privault and keep using Privault forever, if you want to continue to enjoy those pictures ever again.

Asks you to leave a 5 star rating just to raise the limit to 40 pics, when you ought to only leave 5 star ratings on apps because you actually LIKE Privault . Then, th4 cost to unlock it further is really expensive, I figured it would be 2 or 3 dollars, but it’s more like triple that cost. Way over priced just for being such a simple app. Can;t even use the phones “share” system to send pictures to Privault, so yea, I repeat, it’s a super simple app with nothing fancy to warrant such a high price.

I exported or transferred some photos into Privault like it said and now they’re gone. Maybe I’m missing something but when I open Privault and press on the main album or whatever they just aren’t there. I know they get deleted off of your actual phones photo album but that’s not what I’m talking about. I mean they are actually not in Privault. I thought Privault was supposed to hide your photos there and keep them there so you wouldn’t have to have them in your actual photo album app. Am I missing something? Do I need to press another button to actually see my photos again?

I’ve had Privault for years with no complaints for the most part. Now you’ve changed the look so it’s no longer inconspicuous. I didn’t even have access to my pictures til the latest update. Now you’re essentially holding my pictures hostage saying I’m past the storage limit and need to buy the pro version for more storage. There wasn’t a limit before and I can only view a fraction of what I have stored since you’ve added one. I can’t even export the majority of my pictures back to the camera roll. A 40 picture limit is a joke to begin with.

Pay to remove adds and then it tells you you’ve hit your max pictures?? Less than 15! Then tells you to rate it 5 stars for a another 20 pictures??? B.S! It’s my device, I’m using my storage! And the time to tell us this is not after we just paid!!!! SCAMMERS!!!
But that’s not why it’s one star. That’s just why nobody should trust anything from this developer!
THE REASON ITS 1 STAR is because every time you add pictures, they just disappear next time you open it. Yes, this happens EVERY TIME, PICTURES ARE GONE FOREVER!
I’ll take the blame for buying it when it didn’t work, but I assumed it would after I gave them my money. Not only does it still not work, that’s when they tell you you’ve ran out of storage!!

I tested it before I decided to take it seriously. The 3D effect looks nice and that’s about it. I couldn’t event import one tiny video. That part doesn’t work. I’m not a subscription guy. If I could upload my videos, the price would be worth it. I have tons of space on my iPhone. We have space on phone to save our stuffs. We also have our own clouds where we can choose to save things. There should be no limit. So I don’t know why we can’t import videos. 2 stars for their 3D pics. The rest not working

by Uconnhusky2

Too many steps to import. Sometimes photos are imported and then aren’t there and have now been deleted from the camera roll. Doesn’t tell me if I’ve hit a max it just seemingly lets me import more photos, asks if I want to delete from my camera roll, and doesn’t import the photos which I assume is because of the ridiculously low limit.

I’m not sure if this is the same developer but I had an older version with a similar looking icon that never updated after 14.5 and now I can’t get back my photos. Gone forever. Including special photos of my wife from 15 years ago that I didn’t want anyone to accidentally see.

by Fredchrom

It mainly does what it’s supposed to. It keeps your photos in a secret vault and it allows you to organize them in separate folders however you want! The downside is that it doesn’t save videos/gifs properly. I saved a few gifs in this vault and when you go to view them, they don’t play because Privault turned it into a photo. :/ There’s also a LOT of ads. And they’re very provocative, which makes me kind of uncomfortable. It gives off the feeling that Privault isn’t totally safe. Overall, it’s okay, but I’d make sure to look around and find a different app vault that can save gif and videos properly.

I previously gave this a 1 star review because the update basically completely changed Privault and I thought had lost all my pictures.

However, upon further investigation I found that there was an update note on Privault page and it said all you have to do is login in a few times if your original photos didn’t appear.

Thank god that worked I thought I lost all my hentai. Anyways I’m still leaving my 3 star rating because I almost had a heart attack (not really all I was hiding was hentai but anyways) and we didnt get a notice that this was going to happen. Although in the end, my photos are still there so it’s alright I guess.

by Thamaddrumma

It’s a great idea. There’s just a few things that make no sense. For one I can’t upload video at all. That’s really making me mad since I did pay the 1.99 for no ads. Then you can’t choose the album covers for your pictures unless you use the ones they provide which personally don’t look good .The graphics are cool, just unnecessary. I appreciate the thought though on trying to make it look cool. I’d really be happy if I could just upload video. I’d make it 5 stars.

by Officer Grey

I’ve not seen anyone else have any issues with this in the reviews but when I try and post a Gif/Video I’m Privault the video will say “completed” like all the photos you put in Privault but when I finish uploading it into Privault it does not delegate it from my photo library or upload the video in Privault . Also, when I post gifs in the photo section of Privault they turn into images and do not work. Besides that I’ve had no problems besides the price for extra storage😐.

by Fgdssrgg

It’s a very good app overall but I will say that the ads get annoying. It’s very helpful though considering it looks and acts like a calculator but has hidden features and pictures inside! All that I can say that would be negative is that the ads are annoying and it constantly pops up asking if you want to delete picture from your camera roll that you added into Privault . I definitely like Privault overall though:)

by Javon9991

Ummm so I have had Privault for years and then you all stopped updating it and now you all bring it back and I was also a vip member at the time. I am curious as to if you all can give me back my old photos and videos from before.? Not being able to update Privault at one point didn’t allow me to remove my photos and I want them back!

by Llamagirl429

So I got Privault and liked it! Except it has ads. I feel like Privault would be almost perfect without ads but that’s probably not possible
Another thing is if I want to add pictures is only allows about twenty so I can’t put all the pictures I want to. :(
Lastly, there is a pop up thingy asking if you would like to delete the pictures that you just added from the camera roll! If I say “cancel” then it will pop up again next time! :(
Over all this is a pretty good app! :) They just need to fix some things...

by Nenskalkwmdnf

I like Privault. it works super well if you don’t want someone looking through certain stuff in your camera roll because they would never suspect the calculator as a coverup for hidden albums. i don’t like how Privault does have limits on how many pictures and video you can put but other than that Privault is perfect and i would 10/10 recommend.

by Mr .•-•

I love Privault i can hide all of my private stuff here and no one will notice one time i hid some of my pics that i didnt want ppl to see and my brother check my pictures and found nothing i am so happy but then i realized that the pic you import go to recently deleted so that got me in trouble just remember to delete the pic in recently deleted but other then that it’s an amazing app

by Fairybrinkmeyer

Very really good lol actually idrk beceause I take a lot of photos that I want to hide and now it’s saying I can’t hide them all on the free version so not very happy about that but very very secret very much like the secrecy feeling good about this review and currently watching Yellowstone but the lyrics are off by just a little bit and it’s a little bit irritating but ya know I’m good rn oh and Privault idrk but I guess it’s good 💃💅🤪💗

by Chrisline78

Decent app for hiding images and videos from others. The ads are extremely annoying every time you close a folder you have to look at an ad or watch upto a 15sec commercial which is usually the same video over and over. Pretty secure app overall, could use a little more incognito built in.

by Nikoliolli

Few things.
1) I’ve uploaded pictures gone back to the folder and picture was gone. THANKFULLY it was still under my recently deleted but this would’ve been horrible had I not had them in that extra folder.

2) not enough storage on the free version depending on price it might be worth it. (As long as my pictures don’t delete after upload

by Ciciqueen91

I just downloaded it, imported 2 pictures, went back to look at them, and they aren’t there. Luckily I had read earlier reviews and seen that this has happened to other people as well so I imported pictures that I didn’t care if they were deleted off my phone or not. But if I had not of read the reviews and would have imported the pictures I wanted to save for real, I would have been very upset.

by Flakey Lasagna

Overall, Privault is awesome! I love the extra features like the decoy password and the erase all password. Highly reccomend. Main issue is though: there is so little storage space in the free version. I’d rather you grant the erase all password or something to paid users only in exchange for more storage space. It really limits the potential of Privault. (I’m actually writing this review to unlock more storage space)

by Prohellproben

Good thing about Privault is that it doesn’t seem to have any ongoing payments aka One and done.
the thing i seem to have trouble in is hiding vids into my vault. just can’t seem to put anything in but app doesn’t seem allow vids at the moment. in addition the question i have is that if i ended up deleting Privault by accident doesn’t that mean that all my photos will be permanently deleted?

by Heyembdmgekeyj

Every thing is absolutely amazing about Privault. There is an incredible amount of storage and you rarely get adds! I love the detail put into making this like customizing folders and having different sections for different subjects. Overall this is an amazing app and if you’re looking for a place to hide your photos and having lots of storage, this is the right app.

by WenditaRed

Privault is user-friendly, easy to download, easy to use. Love the Decoy feature! It can store pics and videos with really good resolution. Ads to pop up quite a bit if you do not pay for the non-advertisement version. I really don’t mind the ads. Overall, highly recommended Privault! :)

by Sullyg1rl

All photos loaded as selected. Wish there was more storage... I’m actually rating this for more storage ha!
One of the biggest pluses for why I like Privault over the others, it lets me pick the cover of the album and it’s not one of the pictures inside. Nice for even more privacy. Thanks for that!

by VaalHaal

I got this thinking that it was just another scam to get you to pay a monthly fee to actually keep the pictures but I was wrong. It works great and has some extra detail that makes it even better! I love this and I totally recommend it 👌🏻

by Jboner.net

Privault is amazing for what it’s intended to do. Very organized, very safe kept having a working calculator as it’s decoy, and there’s no secret way of trying to scam money out of you, the ads are very manageable and overall Privault is very pleasing to use. Big props to the developers

by AAixinjueluo

Used it for a while now and I really like it because you can use the calculator and at the same time use Privault that hides your valuable photos! BUT... now I’m concern one thing: How do I Retrieve my Photos from the Calculator into my Photo Camera Roll? Please let me know! Sincerely Appreciated!

by Troublemanz

I downloaded this a few weeks ago and forgot the format to open and the format for decoy password. Can someone remind me of the format plz...all my pics and videos are on here and I remember my passcode just forgot how to enter. Thanks

by Free TPH

It’s great and the dummy password is awesome. The only bad thing is you can’t restore the videos to send in a message... other than that it works great!

by Corey_BS

Totally a great app. Don’t have to pay and don’t lose anything. Get to upload your pics and delete them from your camera roll. You can have as many girls as you want and keep it a secret😂

by Bobbytalls

I tried several others but this one is best to hide important pics and docs. A little too many ads for apps and not enough storage on the free version but overall very well
