Ratings and reviews

In Android 15, it won't import any media (it says "storage permission required to import images") despite having been granted permission to access Photos and Videos, as well as Music and Audio. On an old Android 9 phone it works fine, as there is just one switch in App Permissions for "Storage", which does not exist in Android 15. Could you please update your app to work on current devices? That would make it worthy of five stars.

I found That your app is good. I am using it to decrypt the file. But When I read your reply it not for crypt file. You can make aware more users by Giving more information about the app usage, data sharing, app location and other information. It will definitely help your app to be successful in future. All the best.

After working with the app developer, the issue has been resolved. The developer was VERY RESPONSIVE in helping fix this issue. The app does everything I need. I wish it could show responses tied to specific texts, but I know the Whatsapp export process does not provide that info. So that's a Whatsapp problem. Previous review: The app does not import photos. And YES, I exported my Whatsapp chat, INCLUDING the media files with the chat text. Without this capability, the app is not useful to me.
