Ratings and reviews

The app works relatively fine. I like the album feature, the fact it's actually encrypted and easy to use. What I don't like: Videos don't autoplay and there is no option to make them loop. By far the biggest issue is the fact the backup feature doesn't even work. It just crashes the app when attempting to restore a backup causing some pretty bad data loss. I'm aware it's complex, but why even have it if it only works sometimes?

GreT. Needs a way to organize photos into albums so I can keep my ID pics separate from other classified materials. The ability to share right from Photok would elimiante having to export them each time., currently I have to export, go the gallery, to share/send the pic, then I have to BACK to gallery to delete the export. If I forget, stupid Google photos will send the photo to the cloud. A way to 'move' photos from the phone into photok would be nice. As it currently stands photos are copied into photok, so you end up with an encrypted copy in photo and an unencrypted copy outside of photok. You also can't rotate a videoa after it starts, whichis weird. Outside of those suggestions, the apo works really well, is intuitive and easy to use. Thank you for making such a useful tool.

Leon - I'll change this back to 5 stars but I needed your attention. LOVE THE APP, perfect, but I switched to the dialer access, entered my preferred pin and now when I enter the series of commands it told me to, I get a message that says "unable to process the request". I didn't lose the password, I remember it, but it seems a bug is preventing the program from launching altogether. Yes the PIN is correct and I used the correct characters before and after to summon this. HELP! ALL MY PHOTOS 😭
