Secret photos - KYMS Reviews

February 6, 2019 - It's been a while and Secretphotos has changed. It no longer has a calculator on the front end which was nice cover. Secretphotos had what appeared to be a simple calculator and you had to enter four numbers and then it would open to another security firewall that needed a longer password to enter the vault. I liked the calculator, but it would have been nice to have a more meaningful calculator...perhaps an interest bearing calculator where one could actually use it. Example: a field for the interest rate, a field for principal, and a field for time.... This is a useful device to have and then one can use it as cover for searches...and files.

2012 It is nice to have a program that keeps your searches and files associated private. Like the reviewer before me said, there needs to be different faces as this grows in popularity.

I can handle advertising it's fine and the devs need to make money, but there is this issue wherein frequently when you try to access your files, the pop window of the personal advertising prompt appears and you have to agree with it or you won't be able to access Secretphotos and it's contents which would be fine the first time you agree to it. The most unbearable issue here is that it pops up EVEN if you don't have internet and if you already agreed to it the first time. If you are in a situation where you don't have a wifi connection and afford to use your data you are pretty much stuck with a blank loading screen that you cannot exit nor can you access the contents of your app leaving you with a brick. What's the point of having Secretphotos if you can access it. Please fix this at once I am tired of not being able to access Secretphotos because your pretentious agreement window keeps popping up (even if I agreed to it the first time) when there is no internet connection thus leaving the window not loading and not letting you proceed any further.

I’ve read a bunch of the reviews here and the ones which laud Secretphotos are *correct*. For those who slammed it, the problem exists between the chair and the keyboard, not in Secretphotos .

Secretphotos does what it claims and does it VERY well! Uploading works, as does sync’g between iOS devices - I’ve done both multiple times, even up thru 11.2, and everything functions flawlessly. There was a huge amount of thought and time put into Secretphotos to make it work so well. I’ve paid for both in-app purchases and feel they’re well worth it.

If you want an excellent app that lets you keep multiple types of personal media extremely well-hidden yet undetectable in plain sight and easily accessible *to the correct person*, this is Secretphotos for you. You’ll love it!

I have used this for years. Lately, I’ve seen AD ‘s increase a lot. Now they stop what I am watching back me out one layer and when I click the browser I have to wait. It is probably a good idea if you buy the service to remove AD’s but I am thinking about removing Secretphotos instead. I wouldn’t say they are bad but I am wouldn’t recommend them to a friend unless that friend was going to purchase the ad-free version. They do deserve to be paid. Yet for me since this an app I chose when it was free because it was free I am no longer happy with it.

Secretphotos is incredible in that it’s database on the phone is encrypted on top of the phone being encrypted on top of iTunes backups being encrypted. Really gives me peace of mind in protecting my private content, which also includes media types such as documents and notes too. I’ve been using Secretphotos for years.

The last update in December broke video viewing from websites though. It seems like the browser spoofer is what’s broken but I can’t figure it out. On my jailbroken older phone I downgraded the KYMS version to the previous one and everything works fine but on my 11 Pro I can’t downgrade Secretphotos . Can we get an update that fixes video viewing/browser spoofing? I will immediately update this review to 5 stars when this happens.

I was looking to replace my old photo vault, which has become increasingly unreliable. This one looked good, so I thought I’d try it. I like the browser (no more “incognito” mode, and I can save sites) and the ability to add images/videos/documents by downloading them directly to Secretphotos .

However, where Secretphotos fails is it does not allow for upload of folders and sub folders. I have photo galleries on my computer sorted by primary and containing secondary folders. I can’t upload those to Secretphotos - all galleries are self-contained. Also, the images are displayed in random order, with no way to sort by file name, or date, or anything else.

Been using app for a couple of weeks and loving it. I absolutely love the alternate password feature, genius.

The problem is that I was going to pay to remove the ads today to support the developers. The problem is my Bitmoji keyboard is now stuck as the interface for XY and therefore I can no longer login. I removed bitmoji and restarted my phone to no avail. After multiple restarts and trying over and over the keyboard finally came back.

I can’t have 100% faith, because if my keyboard did not come back I would have lost all of my photos, scary thought.

Often when I log in the screen comes up disarray and I have to log out and back in again. It’s frustrating. The other thing is I thought I would be able to hide an app inside of your app for example kik app does not allow you to sign in from the internet so I have to delete it every day to remain discrete. Creating something to hide an app would be epic. No charge for the tip!

Ok, so first I was upset to basically extorted by Secretphotos a version or two ago because I had to agree to personalized advertising (on an app designed to protect privacy!), pay to remove ads, or give up on Secretphotos ... I decided a one time payment wasn't too bad to get rid of the increasingly annoying and frequent ads. Fine. NOW with the latest version, the calculator feature is gone!!! The one feature that made Secretphotos appear inconspicuous is gone now?!? I liked keeping my secure password protected documents hidden behind a calculator rather than within an obvious vault app. Bring back the calculator. This paying customer is very unhappy.

Love Secretphotos itself, but the one gripe I have with it is that it is extremely annoying to scroll through a lot of pictures because Secretphotos is extremely sensitive when scrolling and will select rows of pictures as you scroll, causing you to have to go back and deselect them, making you waste an exorbitant amount of time on scrolling. Developers, PLEASE FIX THE SCROLLING.

Update: Haven’t received a reply or any acknowledgement. Obviously they haven’t fixed it. Nearly impossible adding pictures from library because it selects a mess of pics from just scrolling. Would give 0 stars if possible.

I use Secretphotos to have a browser, pictures and videos that is HIDDEN from my wife and kids. Yesterday my wife was helping me do something on my phone and she came across this blatantly obvious icon that screams, “I’m hiding something in here.” Busted again. Secretphotos works great, but the most important feature, the fact that it looked and acted like a calculator has been taken away, why?

Been using Secretphotos since high school and it has always saved me a lot of drama lol. BUT one big feature that people need to take this over the top is a backup option. I broke my phone last year and when I got a new one and downloaded Secretphotos again... ALL my photos, videos, documents, etc. Were all gone... It's sad because I had some really good stuff on there that I will never see again. Please read this and help the customers out!

Previous version that has a secret calculator was better, but it’s still good. Maybe you need to explain that it’s not allowed anymore to disguise the apps so you needed to update it. Otherwise people will wonder why you removed a nice feature of a calculator in update. But still good to have a parallel screen.

I love Secretphotos in hole but I like the Calculator more. The calculator with Better than all the other calculators in Secretphotos Store. I seriously use The Calculator more than I use any other app in my phone and I’ve been out of school for five years. I wish they didn’t take the calculator off in the new update and if there was someway I could go back to the old update I would in a heartbeat. But I was in them taken off the calculator I still love the safe app but now people know it’s a safe app and I not just a calculator.

No difference I can find between this one and the older version. I suckered and went for the newer shinier version. Neither one works properly as described. I paid the $5 to “remove ads & get ‘premium’ features” on both. Neither of which are different than the standard app. I am an honest guy who tries to support developers. Oh well, as stated above BUYERS BEWARE!

I feel like I’ve been suckered… I guess that it is my fault for trusting developers to be forthcoming and honest with their descriptions of apps. The only difference I visually see is one has purple logo lettering the other one has brown.

After downloading I tried to save pics and gifs. It shows place card for each but no picture is visible. Contacted support and get no response. Tried reinstalling app and no change. Frustrating because it is an all inclusive app (web, gif and pic viewer and storage). My iPhone had a recent upgrade that won’t work with Secretphotos causing this problem. Then my phone software upgraded again and now it won’t save anything. Please upgrade Secretphotos for iPhone software as it was an excellent app before the upgrades!

From 5 stars to 4. Never fails. Every time I update something it loses a feature I like and gains two that I don’t have any use for. Guess I had an old one, still had the calculator skin.

Still works fine, but now is more conspicuous. Figures. You’ll prob eventually reintroduce the cover, only we’ll have to buy it or something, even though I paid for Secretphotos to begin with.

I have been using Secretphotos for a long time and it has been useful. However, since the last iOS Software update, I can no longer save things like photos! Secretphotos needs a software update as wel to fix this. I dropped it to two stars since it lost its functionality for me.

Secretphotos have almost every functions I need for a security box, with browser, video player and album, what I want for an improvement is, I just want to arrange the photos by name, but there is no choice for that. If the developers could make some changes on this point, Secretphotos will be perfect.

I got Secretphotos cause there was some important pictures and videos that wanted to keep and keep private but a bug of some kind cause me to have to remove Secretphotos and lose my photos. Then I thought it was just my phone so I installed Secretphotos again and got new photographs but it happened again it seems to come right after a pop up add is the why you pay to remove the adds ?

The latest update to a keypad entry versus calculator provides a number configuration that is different than a calculator. I had my password memorized by pattern (muscle memory), which no longer worked. Only when I looked at a calculator did I realize the change and recovered my numerical pin.

I lost all my media, photos, videos, contacts that I saved on KY Calc over the years when I had to start fresh with a restore on my iPhone. The apps tech support said I’d be able to recover all my stuff so long as I had it set to back up to the cloud. Well I ensured I had it set to back up to the cloud and after I restored and synced up with the cloud there was my KY Calc app but it was empty! Nothing! I even had made a recovery card and nothing! Contacted their support and they seem to careless! Do not use!

Ok so the free version was ok but the advertisements definitely distracted. So I purchased snd everything was really cool and worked great.
Then after about 9 months an update came out and everything works but slowed way down. Just loading Secretphotos now takes way to long. Go figure!

I’ve had Secretphotos for years! Though there has been bugs with it from time to time, I loved it. Mostly because of the working calculator. If I wanted an app that says “hidden photos” or “hidden content”, I would have downloaded any of the billion other apps that run much smoother. I use the calculator portion daily as an additional calculator, and I love my content is not advertised as hidden. This update and change failed miserably. If not added back soon, I’m uninstalling Secretphotos!! Horrible!
