Folder Lock 17+

Good app

The app does what it's supposed to by pass word protecting any photos, videos, or other media you may not want others to have access to. I also like that it gives you the option of automatically deleting the original file once you've uploaded your media into the app. The biggest complaint that I have about the app is the ads. Even when switching between folders within the app, ads will pop up in addition to ads as soon as you open the app. The ads a re minor inconvenience, but annoying nonetheless.

Don’t waste your time

When the app isn’t crashing, there’s no way to actually put your photos in it. Hit the + button and it goes to a blank screen that says there are no photos. Once it showed me my actual camera roll but when I tried to actually select stuff it went to the blank screen.

Also there is no option to browse your entire device and select things to move at will. There are folders titled photos, videos, etc. If you try to move something into one you can only select from that specific file type. I had an entire folder on my desktop that I wanted to lock away but I couldn’t get to it through the app. That may be what the “transfer via WiFi” option is but being as this is not 2008 I feel like I shouldn’t have to transfer files in such a convoluted way. Why can’t you just browse all your folders from within the app, select the items you want, and have the app import them?

Loved it till it updated

After the new update this app stopped working. All my stuff is locked and can’t be accessed. App locks up on log it screen, freezes. If it ain’t broke why fix it? You screwed up an amazing app. Update did me dirty, the last minor update didn’t do anything to help the issue. New update allowed me to get into the app, then a “migration” message loaded and a few folders loaded, then the app crashed. Now I’m missing half my folders. Migration won’t start again. So have I lost all those photos now?

I was able to recover some photos on the new update however I lost many others after the “migration” that failed. The app was buggy. I originally paid for the pro version, now they are pushing a subscription to keep the same features I already paid for. I deleted this app and am going with something safer and more reliable. I suggest you do the same.
