I’ve been using the other app for years and just noticed there’s another (perhaps newer) version? Is there a way to migrate data from one to the other and restore purchase? Is there any difference? I’ve downloaded this one and noticed the UI is faster and Touch ID actually works. If I may make a few suggestions: can we get a way to have the photo albums/collections be listed as a List instead of Thumbnails, it would make organizing waaaay faster (for example I like to keep my collections in an alphabetical order to find them easier). Also add the ability to add a collection within another collection (folders or something), it would be greatly appreciated! Lastly, a way to have Touch/Face ID without the Pin for those that want to do without entering a password all the time. Overall no complaints and I understand why we can no longer have the calculator feature.
Was Great..... Until it wasn’t

I don’t really know where to start with this review. It was once a fake calculator app when I bough it many years ago and now it isn’t. Hell I don’t even know if this is still the version I paid for since I now see ANOTHER KYMS app by the same dev with a price tag. Either way, back when I was afraid of family members snooping around on my devices this app was near perfect. It had its own simple private browser and really easy to manage photo albums. I had it all organized, twice since I lost all of my stuff once before but I can’t remember how since it was years ago. Why bring that up? I’m glad you asked! This app has stopped working permanently once again and so far the only thing I can do right now is to delete the app and reinstall. Will it keep my stuff? I don’t know but considering I lost everything in the past it probably won’t. Ah but what about iCloud backups? I have no idea how to tell if this app is backed up or not and where to find said files. So I might be out of luck again. Don’t buy this app if you plan on using it to keep stuff safe, you’ll just end up loosing everything randomly when the app decides to not work one day
Nice Privacy!
Yourdrunktestsaretoohard!
February 6, 2019 - It's been a while and the App has changed. It no longer has a calculator on the front end which was nice cover. The app 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.
Ruined by personal advertising prompt
Predalien22
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 the app 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 the app if you can access it. Please fix this at once I am tired of not being able to access the app 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.
