Lost all of my locked images. 90+ photos gone! My gallery just shows the image data (number and date) and a default photo icon for each one. I've had it for me years and I hadn't used it in a while and everything has just vanished. I tried the recovery and it said there was nothing to recover. I would NOT recommend this app. Use your phone's built in secured folder option instead.

Sorry for the inconvenience, if the recovery feature does not work so this seems that you have deleted your files from the phone's file manager, that's why your photos are being given an error. Thanks, Folder Lock Team.

absolute disaster! moved locked around 1000 pictures and videos. App Moved them to phone internal memory which filled available memory. so I moved entire folder to sd card. then unlocked the files. now they are in an unlocked folder and NONE WILL OPEN. WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!! Thank you for responding but I would not call losing a 1000 video files from the last 10 years an inconvenience! it's a disaster

Sorry for the inconvenience, Google has implemented restrictions on 3rd party apps to access the device's SD card on android 4.4 and above versions. That is why our app is unable to lock the data on your SD card. We are trying hard to resolve this issue and will implement it in future versions. Thanks, Folder Lock Team.

I like this app. I only saved MP3 files on it. The only problem I'm facing is when I'm playing a music and the music finished. The app automatically moves to another music but there is pup up appears on the screen stating that it's moving to another file and the pup up stays forever. Can you fix it? BTW, I'm using the app on android unit(on my car).
