Products : Android : PhotoVault :

You have an Android based device, and you have pictures stored in it. If you like to show off your phone to people but don't want them to see all the pictures in it, this is the application for you. With this application, you can password protect pictures. Other people won't even know these pictures exist. It can also slide show your private protected pictures.

PhotoVault also comes with a "Public" Mode, which, if set, will disguise PhotoVault like a normal Gallery app.

We are actively working on this product, more features will be added to the existing great feature set.

PhotoVault should work on all android based devices. If you have trouble using it, feel free to contact us.

Available in both Android Market and Amazon app store for $2.00. Upgrades are free of charge.

Great News! PhotoVault is two years old now, for a limited time, both PhotVault and VideoVault are discounted 50%, for $1 a piece.

• Q: My private pictures are missing, what should I do?
  • A: If you uninstalled this application when there are still pictures in the Private View, you will now not be able to see them. But don't worry, the pictures are still in your phone, they are just hidden. Install the latest update and log in to the application, click on Menu->Tools->Rescue Missing Private Pictures, follow the steps and you will rescue them back to Private View.
• Q: What's the correct steps to uninstall this application?
  • A: Please make sure there are no pictures in Private View before uninstall. Otherwise, the pictures will stay "hidden".
• Q: What is Public Mode?
  • A: Public Mode adds discretion to the app. By setting to Public Mode, when people ask you what it is, you can say it is just another picture viewer. Here is why, If PhotoVault is set in Public mode, when you start PhotoVault, it will not ask for password. It will show your public pictures automatically. If you want to hide/unhide or view your private pictures, you need to click on "Menu" and then choose "Change Mode".
• Q: How to use Multi-select to Hide or Unhide or Delete?
  • A: After PhotoVault is loaded, click on "Menu" and then choose "Multi-Select", you can select as many files as you want. Then click "Menu" and then you can hide, unhide or delete selected pictures.

  • A:When you are in the private tab, and multi-select one or more pictures, click on menu->Move or Move icon, a folder list will show up.
