Latest reviews of Private Pal app for iPhone and iPad
Takes way to many motions to get something done or saved. That in my opinion takes up to much time and leaves lots of room for error. I have other safe keeping apps that are much simpler to use.
The update just made the app better...this update is great definitely should own this if you want to protect your private information with security.
I bought this app and cant quite figure what it does. I know what the ad said but they must have put up all the features wrong. Mine wont work as advertized
would be good app if it worked. media and data disappears at random. click a folder then go back there all gone till the app is restarted everything I put in folders disappeared permanently. over all great design color schemes would be nice but not before making the app a actually work as advertised. password entry is flawed as well. Right know this app is not worth a cent if fixed would pay 5 bucks but untill they fix it save your money.
Why didnt Apple do this? Great app that lets me organize everything by my categories and lock out spying eyes and keep my data and ideas secure. It takes a while to learn how to use the program so be patient
