Privoto - Private Photo 4+

useful and sleek but…

I purchased once Premium with unlimited imports included. I still can see this on my old phone. Now after activating the app on a new phone and restoring my purchase it tells me that I have only 50 imports available (although the restore purchases feature worked just fine). This downgrade is irritating because no reason given. I admit the app itself works more or less as it should. Wi-Fi transfer was not working between 2 phones though. Therefore 4 stars only. I hope the app will work many more years because the idea behind saving valuable photos and vids to a private vault in your phone is to keep very important data digitally. Some other similar apps just disappeared from the Appstore leaving you behind with encrypted data and: no access anymore to the stored files. I can recommend Privoto but would like to solve the issue with the import limitations and see a fix for the Wi-Fi transfer glitch. Any developer is reading this?

[update]
I will now downgrade to 3 stars because of the intentional mislead with this non-unlimited feature. The proof is the multiple criticisms by other reviewers stating the same issue. Mislead because in my original purchase on the old phone the unlimited imports are still available leading to the assumption that by design it was activated and not falsely communicated to the 3rd party provider AppAdvice who promoted the free lifetime subscription as part of their Free-App-of-the-Day package

Very good considering about privacy except…

Very good considering about privacy, but for importing photos, the app needs to charge extra (maybe a continuous charging may needed) is really new and challenging thinking , which I would say, thanks and bye.

Please Read This Before Purchasing This App

I downloaded this app for free through a promotion. I paid too much. A bountiful selection of photo vault apps exists at the App Store, but what made this one stand out was the developer’s promise of a “premium” package that included “unlimited imports for free!” I certainly would not have wasted my time had I known that only the first 30 downloads were free, thereafter it would be necessary to purchase bundles of 30 photos for $3.99 each. I may be cheap, but I’m not insane. I wrote to IDEANOLOGY, the developer (the nonsensical name should have warned me away from the start), and was smugly informed that the offer had been incorrectly published by the promotional site, which turned out to be the case; but what reputable company would not honor a printed commitment—even if it had been mistakenly offered? I guess the “premium” part of the promotion refers to the recurring high cost imposed upon the app’s users. I recommend that you count the WRITTEN 1 star reviews for Privoto and weigh them against those with 5 stars, and then look through the numerous photo vault apps available and select one that doesn’t routinely pick your pocket. Compare Privoto to Safteyzone which “offers a lifetime purchase as well as monthly/ yearly subscription options.”
A representative from App Advice emailed me that they were no longer planning to promote Privoto. I guess they changed their mind.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback! As we discussed in the email, please email AppAdvice to verify what we've communicated to you.
AppAdvice was very kind to promote our app and we are grateful for that so we don't blame them - but it's also a fact that there was a mistake in the feature description. We've been working with them to resolve this.
