Notes:

i- We cannot auto-delete/modify images stored in the built-in photo application so you must manually delete the originals once you import them into Video Safe if you wish to protect them from prying eyes. Small price to pay for your privacy, and not the case for wireless import :)

ii- Your privacy is paramount to us. Your images are your own and when transferring images are only ever moving between your device and desktop. We do not access or store them. Your device acts as the server for wireless transfer to/from the desktop.

Pros and cons of Video Safe app for iPhone and iPad

Video Safe app good for

Older versions had some glitches but now it really is great and easy and efficient. Just near perfect

All the features I wanted are there: fake calculator, snoop stopper, ease of use. Would be nice if we could change the app icon and name too !

Am using it since my first iPhone 2G and recommend it very much. There are always some files which should not be visible to every one to whom you show your phone. This very convenient app takes care of that.

Letzte Version perfekte app "as advertised" macht was behauptet wird

Giving it 5 stars however, if pictures are able to be re-arranged according to personal selection, it would have it all!! Creating new folders is great but being able to arrange is what its missing. Just a thought to all the developers creating the app. If it shows up on one of their updates, know this happens because of people like you who review and makes this feature possible. Hoping this feature could be added in the near future. Two Thumbs Up  to the developers...

If its videos you want to store safely, and you have the money, this works, but consider Private Disk first, which does photo, video, audio and text. If its only photos, then Photo Safe by Zero Cool is cheaper than either (there is a free version) and the to learn and use. The Video Safe decoy will appeal to some, but most of us dont live in that hostile an environment. A simple passcode is enough. (Although the decoy option works, their hide option refused to, on my iPhone4.) I could do with an option to turn on sound when I play a video; mute is OK in some situations, but.... Tip: Watch the help video about importing videos if you are confused. Help: I cant get rid of earlier editions of this review. Please ignore any you may find.

Some bad moments

Imported the video fine but they wont play says I have to convert to Mp4 how do you do that?

I have Picture safe for quite some time and its great however when I saw there was a version for video I was tempted to try it.... however after trying to transfer videos from my iPad2 to Video Safe for over an hour it DOES NOT work. Extremely dissapointed by this app. as it is not userfriendly as Picture safe is. Upgraded from PS to VS via PS application for $2.99 figured might be problem with the app itself I then went to iTunes store and bought it directly from them (Apple) for $3.99 well .... both applications do not work. So I wasted $7.00 on an useless app. !!! Will upgrade if I can find out how to transfer my videos from Video app. on iPad 2 to into Video Safe.

Says video has to be mp4 format. Wont play it but will play in my normal library? Help please??

You get five stars when you add browser feature to upload video straight from webpages

I dont understand why it wont work. Terrible customer support. Save your $3.99 and go to Taco Bell. At least youll get something for your money.

I bought picture safe and decided I wanted Video Safe, so I went to the app store and downloaded Video Safe. Thinking it would be the same app, they stopped updating this app and you dont get all the features of picture safe here. Picture safe will send you an email if failed login attempt 3 times and will include a picture from the front camera on your phone. How come they didnt add that to this app too? They gave up on this app, dont buy it
