Safe Lock - Hidden Photo Vault Reviews

by EvoDevo8

Okay, SafeLock has a lot of nice features and works well. BUT (and you knew there was a ‘but’) none of those features are free. In fact, even just the simple ability to password-protect your photos isn’t free. After your introductory free premium account expires, it’s noting more than a worthless place to dump your files.

To get any functionality at all, you have to pay $2 a month. Yep, you heard right. You can’t even just buy SafeLock . Just making the thing work requires a repeating subscription. You don’t get regular new stuff or anything, you just pay rent to these @$-:!;s just so you can have your files behind a 4-digit passcode. There are plenty of free apps that give you better than that for nothing, and even better ones for very modest one-time payments. Do NOT bother with this rip off.

I previewed a lot of similar apps before deciding to purchase the life long subscription. One of the key features was the decoy password which was advertised as only being available with subscription. After the purchase, I immediately began to set up SafeLock . Surprisingly, the option to set up a decoy password disappeared upon purchase. Also, I tried to do a WiFi transfer and the connection to my device would not work. Both devices were on the same network and the IP was entered correctly. Long story short, I am very displeased with SafeLock and strongly recommend these items get fixed or consumers stay away from SafeLock.

Horrible app, I even have the paid version. Don’t waste your money! When you place pictures into SafeLock , it puts them into the vault all out of order rather than grouped together by date. So if you are looking for a specific picture, you just have to scroll through and hope you come across it. Then, only the second time using SafeLock - I placed pictures in, only to find out later that they were deleted from both my phone and iCloud and NOT displayed in the vault. Good thing they weren’t very important pictures. Don’t get SafeLock, and especially don’t pay for it.

I downloaded this expecting good things. My old photo app I had was a pain to access and upload photos too. So I decided to finally search around. Saw good things with it, did a few test runs to see if it would screw me over or not. Passed all my tests so I uploaded thousands of photos from my other app that I’ve accumulated on my phone since like 2009. Now SafeLock decides it doesn’t want to open. I click it, it loads and crashes. I’ve been having this reoccurring problem now for a few moths and haven’t heard back from the developers. Don’t make the same mistake I did...

Generally I am happy to support developers with the subscription model when things are getting fixed. Here is the bottom line if my expectation. Picture and video browsing should be at least as smooth as the photo album in iOS. Nope.

Video playback is a joke. It is guaranteed to crash SafeLock . Two iPads and two iPhones later it is yet to be fixed. It starts off the video in this tiny window that is non-responsive and God for bid if you push that full screen window button - instant crash. There is also no way to stop the video or move onto the next thing without waiting for the videos to finish.

The only thing I do not like about SafeLock is the fact that it does not fit the images to the screen. Some saved pics are small, even on my IPad Pro, so if they corrected this and zoomed the pics to fill the screen - and while they are at it, why not pay attention to portrait versus landscape - I would definitely give SafeLock 5 stars. However, the other security features, which is why I bought SafeLock, are outstanding. Make a really good app outstanding by fitting pics to screen!

I like SafeLock , it’s pretty straight forward and easy to use, even has a backup lock so if you get questioned on the spot you can put another passcode in and it would open another file as oppose to your secret files. Better than using hidden on iPhone. Overall great for hiding documents, sex with the wife videos, and personal notes to yourself. 8/10 simply because SafeLock icon can look more realistic.

I hate showing people pictures in my camera roll because I never know « what’s » going to show up haha could be embarrassing. SafeLock has allowed me to store and keep safe my photos that Id like to keep private and also some folders are to keep for memory sake. I love the facial recognition password it’s makes access the items I save in SafeLock hassle free to access. Also I love that you can create folders it makes it easy to organize! Love SafeLock!

So, I gotta lotta adult stuff on my phone. I have an adults phone. I also am around kids sometimes. They can’t be seeing some of the stuff on my phone. This works really well for that. It also asks if you want to delete the local copy saved on your device or iCloud if it’s there. That’s really convenient.

10/10 good app would download to hide stuff from children again.

I downloaded a handful of these little password protected photo browser apps, and this one ended up being the one I kept. It has all the features I needed and on top of that, it doesn’t show you ads every 5 seconds, so it’s a win all around. Hopefully it will continue to impress.

This comes in handy for hiding things that you don’t want people to stumble across while they’re looking at your photos. Get your minds out of the gutter... there are plenty of normal pictures that we might not necessarily want to share. With this, you just lock them up and can easily get to them anytime. They’re still on your phone and not in some cloud. A+++

While no mobile-based photo vault can be 100% secure, SafeLock goes a long ways towards providing peace of mind for images and videos you’d rather keep to yourself. Easy to use, self explanatory, and a great example of form serving function, Safe Lock brings simplicity to locking away your private collection. Highly recommended!

by Mischief.er

I’ve been looking for a really good app like this because I’ve been wanting even more privacy. So far it’s great, the starting storage isn’t low like other apps, it doesn’t ruin the quality of the images and lets you swipe through them as you would with your camera roll.

I am so happy y’all have made SafeLock! I am very impressed <33 I really did wish, we could log in again. Like..if we had a new phone, we don’t have to transport everything to our new one and download safe lock and put it in there. Above all that, I’m glad y’all made SafeLock. I know y’all can do better <33 don’t let the negative comments get to you! God bless you! And thanks for SafeLock!

I just got SafeLock , I'm glad that I can name the albums, set the cover photo, and delete the photos on my iPhoto library quickly and easily. And while it does contain adds, the simplicity makes it worth it. Compared to other lock apps that can't do it all very well without leaving a feature in the dark. I still just got SafeLock so I still need to test it out more.

by Royalnutcase

So far so good I really like it , especially the lock I can place on the individual albums. Clean and functional IU is excellent and greatly appreciated. Also SafeLock size is small which I love. No bloated unnecessary crap like a photo editor. I hate when a vault app have those things. Best of all I can share pics and videos directly from SafeLock . Oh and I almost forgot the various options you have for security from password to pincode to passcode are A+

I, like many others, have lots of sensitive material on my cell phone. This apps helps me keep pictures, videos, and file of my passwords safe, without ever having to worry about lost or stolen information. I’ve tried other apps, and they somehow deleted pictures that dated back years. I don’t have to worry about that with the backup option on SafeLock!

by BlackHistory

I don't yet know what I would rate SafeLock. My 2nd time opening it I get a popup that demands a 5-star review to unlock unlimited storage. At first I was afraid - I was petrified!

When I was setting up my account, I naïvely accepted Safe Lock's request to delete from my photos app the copies of the photos I'd stored. So now the only copies of these pics are in an app with suspicious practices.🤔

I'm gonna back up my private pics in google drive asap.

I was skeptical about SafeLock at first. I have used other apps like this just to be disappointed. But after using SafeLock I’m impressed, there are different ways to setup tho lock feature. The thing that was the best, I was able to download files from the cloud and other locations, and saved them in SafeLock and deleted them from other location while using SafeLock .I am extremely satisfied. And would highly recommend get it.

by SaraBear@69

The best part about it is that when transferring or taking a photo from SafeLock , you can delete the images from the original album that it’s coming from and save it in the safe app. When capturing photos using the camera within SafeLock itself, those photos do not show up in your regular photo album same goes with notes effortless to use; I love it! I highly recommend downloading SafeLock you’ll never need another one.
