Locker: Photo Vault Reviews

So, I say 2 stars because this only works for one fo the things it claims to work for. You can hide photos in here perfectly fine. You CANNOT hide apps, and videos, when imported, cannot be played back (at least in my experience). First of all, the video thumbnail never loads, and when you go into one, it just gives you the spinning thing forever. For photos and files it works wonderfully. However, had I known that this would be the only functionality, I never would have gotten Premium ($9.99). Locker hiding thing is truly disappointing, because it would really be convenient. Even if it worked how they SAID it would work, it would be better. They say that to hide an app, all you need to do is configure some Settings so that Siri doesn’t suggest Locker , then put Locker in the second tab of an app grouping on your home screen. THEN you open this app to open Locker from there. What ACTUALLY happens after you do that is when you go into this app to access Locker , it takes you to Locker Store, which is very annoying.
Locker could be worlds better, and worth the $10 bucks paying for Premium, if the developers would spend more time working out the bugs and doing performance improvements. Maybe if they do I can give 5 stars.

Am I missing something? This this app app has you go through a long process to put Locker you want to hide on the second page of a folder and make it so Siri can’t see Locker wanted to be hidden. So Locker still technically there. Then access that app through this this app app. Makes no sense!! Locker is not truly locked in the this app app it’s just put in the folder on the second page semi hidden in the background. This is ridiculous! After researching my understanding is there are NO apps that can truly password protect an app and hide that app within, which is fine but don’t advertise that an app will because it won’t. And shame on Apple for not making folders able to be password protected. IOS users have been asking for this password folder protection for years. Not too hard Apple. And as far as the rest of the features on the this app app? I have no idea because I deleted it once I realized the hide app lock option doesn’t work and is misleading in the description.

Hide the apps is very difficult. And it is probably an iOS bug. The better technique is to put all the apps you want to hide inside a folder and hide this folder. On iPhone X I have to softly press and hold the folder I want to hide in order to it starts tickling, without taking the finger out of it I hold the side button to start Siri, and almost at the same time I do a strong press on the folder and start moving it. So I take the finger out of screen, out of side button and close Siri by sliding up the screen. The problem is that you have to do it again every time you hold an icon to move it around, and this is the way you return the folder to screen again.

Locker works fine but it relies on this iOS bug.

Okay so to start off I always read reviews first before I download any app and I saw ppl were having difficulty hiding apps I have an IPhone 6s (sadly😭) but it took me like 4 times trying and it worked just follow the directions....the only thing I don’t like is where u have to pay to do more I understand u need the money to improve ur app but what if ppl don’t have money but really want to use Locker without limits 🤷🏽‍♀️

Once you search Locker you want to hide, so you can “lock Locker ” the first thing it tells you to do is DELETE Locker ?!??! I don’t get it.. how is that supposed to lock Locker then (if you have a iPhone) it tells you to remove Locker from Siri and search!! In that EXACT order... Step 1: hold down app and select “remove app”
Step 2: settings> “app”>remove from Siri and search
That doesn’t even make sense... why would I even delete Locker ?? Then it says to remove Locker u deleted from Siri and search how would I even remove it from Siri and search if I deleted Locker ??? Please remember this when you’re thinking about getting Locker

Hiding the apps from your home screen is a bit of a challenge have to go at it for a while and every single time that you move something on your phone or do anything they pop back up on your home screen and you have to re-hard on you cannot just put them in there and leave them in it should be when she put it in there that it just completely disappears from your home screen and it only in that this app because if you want to move an app or delete an app every time the screen start shaking they reappear on to the home screen and then you spend anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes trying to re-hide it from your home screen it is a very bad set up do not get it

The process of hiding your apps is such a chore that it is not even worth it. You need to have your first screen filled up entirely. I tend to keep my first page clean as possible and only have everyday apps on the main screen. So you have to go through move apps to the main screen just to proceed. The steps it takes you through to hide Locker is silly. Secondly, once you update those hidden apps, they show up again. Then you have to go through the process amd re-hide Locker . Third, when you launch Locker within this this app App, it takes you to that apps App Store page for you to launch. Goofy.

Unless they address those issues. Don't waste you money.

It works okay. I can move photos and contacts. It says to upload files from the other app, then my files app doesn’t have that ad an option. Also I can add apps to it- but only from Locker Store itself. And, when I do it that way Locker is still on my phone screen for view. The “make apps invisible” technique is pretty cool- It is really hard to do most of the time though.

Definitely worth checking out! Maybe you’ll do better than me. This is the cheapest app- with 30 days free and only 1.98$/monthly after that.

Locker is a waste of money. It barley gets the job done is insanely laggy and is limited there is no option to make folders no option to sort by newest or rename images all the images are just there which also makes my iPhone XS start to overheat and drains the battery super fast. All in all not worth the money at all I found a much better way to store anything in documents which you can also password lock Locker in its settings you can make folders have as many movies images and anything in it as you want and it is free and 10 times better than Locker.

Locker is great, the UI looks great, but it would be nice if you could upload more than 10 pictures at a time and would be great if you could choose to delete all uploaded photos from gallery in one click instead of individually having to click delete multiple times. If it had those 2 features I would have definitely given this a 5 star instead of just 3. Besides those 2 small things, overall a good app.

I bought the lifetime subscription for $10 based on the good reviews. What a mistake! It simply doesn’t work. First of all, the instructions for locking an app are *not* simple. You have to remove Locker from Siri and Search, then place Locker in the second page of a folder, and then launch Locker from within this app. I performed this operation carefully several times, but Locker I wanted to lock still appeared in its normal folder. It was not hidden or locked in any way. I was hoping to use this app to hide apps on my little kids’ iPads. Very disappointed.

I like it so far, but maybe I haven’t figured it out myself, but there’s not a way to creat folders. They only categorize files by types (photos, videos, notes) but there’s no way you can create a sub folders where you can organize your files

Okay so I just bought Locker and it totally works !
And it’s just really helpful for me and another people who want to Keep things private And For the people that didn’t work for them Locker And if Locker crashed -
Maybe it needs an Update or it doesn’t work on you’re phone and if it still not working Then I dunno . .
And keep up the good work!~ :3

It's pointless is you using a iPhone X. First of all Locker doesn't even look secret. It's the same app icon you see right now before you download/purchase. Why would I want a app that look like it clearly says "I'm hiding stuff in here" second of all you have to download the apps and hide them too separately. This means you have Locker you are trying to hide stored in this secret app but you also have Locker avail on the home screen somewhere which you can't delete because then it delete the one in the secret app. Pointless!!!!!

I have apps I need to hide for personal reasons and I can only hide 2 at a time for free before it tries to force me into a subscription. I feel it should be at least 5 because I cannot pay for a monthly subscription just to hide some apps. I would really recommend making it more useful for your users who cannot pay for your subscription. That’s a sure fire way to get better reviews and feedback

Locker is great but there’s a problem with it that keeps on bugging me. Every once twice a week it takes the apps out of Locker , and then I have to put it inside but it doesn’t want to! I have to erase it and install it again because it’s the only app that can hide my apps, and I’m wishing you can fix it so I don’t have to do this process over and over again. Ok THANKYOU and please fix it

It's good because it locks photos and stuff but when it comes to locking your apps it can't hide it from Locker library but we'll anyways minus that the apps pretty good and I hope it can make changes about that

I’ve only gotten Locker in this app one or two times and then for no reason it’s randomly out of the this app and back on the front of the screen. Great idea. Doesn’t work. Very disappointed. I wanted to lick up a hook up app I can’t seem to stay off of and have a girl I trust use her fingerprint to lock it in. After hours fighting to get it in it never stays, appears on front page for world to see and we’ve never gotten to place where she can use her log in and fingerprint to lock it up.

Don’t ever get Locker is extremely hard to use it it does not work I don’t recommend it you. do not get Locker if you do it will not work and if you remember it doesn’t work I want you if I had to grade it a 1-10 I would rate it a zero but I had to read it to write this review I hate Locker is soon as I got it I spent two hours trying to get it to work it does not work if I think it might be a bad bug but it seems that it just won’t work do not get Locker I recommend it to not get Locker

I can’t even use this!! I got it so that when my family is on my iPad they don’t see the apps I have that they think are stupid, and I can’t even access Locker!!!! I tried to put in my PIN but Locker said it was incorrect. I used all the PINs I have but none of them worked. I tried to use Touch ID but that didn’t work either! Would’ve gave this 5 stars I could actually use it.

Developer, why don't you figure out how to put apps in 'one' chosen folder's name, so you don't have to be wasting time, of hiding apps one by one - when you start your phone??? I gave you 3 stars only for the rest, because am still hoping that you'll come to your senses, and one day - it will be 'just right in order.' If you do this right, then I'll start paying for it, if not, why bother and good-bye!

With the latest IOS, you can’t hide apps. That is a major drawback. I purchased this software to hide icons. They say they are working on a fix but I already paid for it.

Very buggy. You can’t batch download pictures. You have to do it one at a time. It sends you back to the album after each download. I had 30 pictures to move and it took entirely too long. When I view the pictures, after about 4 slides it crashes.

I have followed the directions for how to hide the apps and every time I do it Locker I want to hide disappears from my home screen until I move another app, or unlock my phone again.....then the apps reappear to the home screen.

Awesome app! Works well for hiding content you don’t want others to see. Hiding Locker on the homepage is not the bad once you get the hang of of it. My only problem is deleting items from Locker . Every time I try to delete photos Locker shuts down. Please help!

iOS12 was recently released and currently we have not found a way to completely hide an inidividual app, but one thing you can do is create an app folder on your home screen and put Locker on the 2nd page of the folder, that way the icon is not visible at all from the home screen. We are currently looking for an even better way to hide apps on iOS 12.

Hi. I’m a 13 year old who wants to hide apps from my siblings. Unfortunately I don’t have money to pay for this. I find it annoying that most of the lock apps cost money inside. So far I have not found a good app that does what it says AND doesn’t cost money. I know that I’m not the only one who can’t pay for this. I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy this, but I now think instead of paying for an app, just put a lock on your phone.
