Q&A:

1. What if I forgot my password?

If you have a security Email set up before, you should be able to see a "Forgot Password" en-trance once you input the wrong password. Tap on the entrance and follow the instructions to reset your password.

If you do not have a security Email but you had backed up your data to cloud space, then the data can be recovered from the cloud by reinstalling Vault app.


2. How do I enter vault in stealth mode?


1. Put Vault back to the phone’s home screen by adding Vault widget, once it appears on home screen, tap on it, and then input your password to enter, or,

2. Download "NQ calculator" in Google Play, open it, and input correct password then tap "=".


3. Why are my photos/videos lost?

Some cleaning or free storage apps may automatically delete Vault’s data folder used to store pictures and videos. So, as a best practice, please do not choose to delete Vault’s data folder and subfolders (mnt/sdcard/SystemAndroid) when you use such apps.

You can also backup your pictures and videos to cloud by using "Cloud Backup" feature in the premium page of Vault.

This app uses the Device Administrator permission.

This app auto deleted all my videos that I saved over the course of two years, approximately 100 videos...just gone! There is no customer service option to even try to troubleshoot the issue. These were irreplaceable videos! I am just left with nothing, all the memories lost. I would not recommend this app at all. PS Latest update doesn't eve open app. It just crashes.

Dear User, thank you for using Vault and sorry for your inconvenience. Whether you use the clean-up App, some cleaning app will automatically delete the folder of vault that save pics & videos. The Vault only save your data but avoid deleting any data. If you ever used the vault app free backup feature, you could sign in and recover your data.

It does the job well but it's a minefield of ads. I don't mean a few ads, I mean if you press the wrong button (which is easy to do), you've opened an ad up. The pay version is too expensive to purchase so you're left with this nightmare of ads to navigate. I would try another app but this one does work the best. You say you removed the ads from my account. How? I just opened the app and it's an avalanche of ads! I understand that you need to generate money but this is ridiculous

Not loading or importing.... All of a sudden I can't get to any of my photos or videos. I also can't import new ones. Please fix this issue without me losing all my pics/videos. I have pics/videos of lost loved ones that were too painful to see on a daily basis. Please help! I've had this app for over 5 years and am even a upgraded paid "member." I've never had a problem before now.

Thank you for using Vault and sorry for your inconvenience. Your data are saved in the SD card and are not lost. Please don't uninstall the app. The technicians checked the problem that some users who upgraded the new version reported that the photos and videos could not be displayed. We will release a new version to fix it. Best Regards!
