Safe Camera - Photo Encryption for Android
UI awful. It needs a lot of improvements to be more user friendly. Sorry Alex, but it's very basic made. Read what (other) people say and get on with making it better.
Almost impossible to make Home the external SD card. And impossible to navigate to existing files elsewhere on your phone. Needs more user friendly and flexible navigation I think. Otherwise would be ace.
It s a clever app. Not having internet permission makes me trust it. Problems: It takes some time (one or two seconds)) to encrypt the image and there is no feedback of the imake being already taken, so you tend to press the button again and the app crashes. Nothing critical but it worth improving. The UX can be improved. It is not initially clear what gallery button is for? Import from device gallery or view the encrypted gallery? Again nothing critical.
Works as advertised. It's the almost perfect safe camera application. Taking a picture can be a little slow. I would appreciate it if we could use fingerprint authentication to unlock the software.
Was unable to create a folder on the external memory card. It would offer to reset to default folder settings (internal memory) every time I tried.
Fantastic secure file vault. Markets itself as a camera/photo storage combo but you can store other files in it as you like. Importing files is quick and easy, and the source file is securely written over to prevent recovery. Extremely secure and surprisingly responsive considering the layers of encryption. Absolutely necessary addition to every security-conscious Android user's app catalog.
640x480pixel limit, with modern phones camera capabilitys, is ridiculous. Do cameras even take such low resolution images any more??? Uninstalled as it's pointless.
Minimal sized app with all bells and wistles. Only two permissions are demanded! As far as I know, no rival apps exist yet!
I love it so much I have bought it. I would really like away to move photos taken with other apps to the encrypted partition with a password. I think that would make this app 10/10 respond to me if you want. Edit xD sorry apparently you can do that somehow.. trying to find out now this app is great
Best secure gallery and camera app out there. Simple to use and elegant app. Unlike a lot of other apps, Safe Camera gives you complete control over your files and the desktop app gives you the ability to view or decrypt the files on your computer. If you want to make backups I use 'Autosync Google Drive'. Because the files are already encrypted you can rest easy knowing that your photos are protected. The developer has done a great job on this app, they have given this a lot of thought. I have purchased the pro version and would happily pay more for the app. 5/5.
It crashes on my Nexus 6p ( Android 7.1.1) on every photo taken. Also the camera button is not reliable, have to press few times to take a photo.
Not able to open .sc file extension.. what ever you do, do not erase original photo or you will lose your photo. Please fix ASAP
It deleted all my pictures when I delete cache m cookies
The encrypted file import feels like a lot of work to use, would be nice if encrypted files could be imported through the android share system.
Does what it says. And that is all it can do. Walks the walk. Thank you Alex.
I think this app is great for storing sensitive pictures, because they don't get out from the app, and it auto locks, so pretty good.
Good so far. Double check to see if the app ACTUALLY deletes the old files. Mine doesnt but says it does...
I add some photos after that original fotos still there anter I choose to delete with secure wipe option.
EXTRA-ORDINARY ENCRYPTION... BUT stillllllll No updates... And no video playbacks.... So saaaddd...
Can only import one file at a time unless you pay for upgrade. No thanks you.
Would be 5 stars if you could also take video as well as encrypt and play videos in app
Works great. Needs to have a dark screen option, as well as lock program on device button lock.
That's great because it doesn't need to have internet permission.
Please add, stealth mode (Call Dialer to launch, ability to store video, in app video player, custom background images, allow to play large gifs, remove from resent apps list. I only use it to store photos. Much better platform then Andrognito, but lacks a little customization. I see an eventual undeniable 5 star rating in the future.
This app encrypts photos as you take them. It is thoroughly thought out so that the photos you want safe are always encrypted - even if your phone itself is not secure. You can hand your unlocked phone to another person, for example, without worrying whether or not you left the app open or remembered to 'lock' your photos. It locks the gallery after being closed or inactive. Overall, right now, it's not very feature extensive - but it does what is supposed to well, and is very simple.
Actually encrypts the files and seems very secure. Shame it only does photos. It will encrypt video but will not play them within the app. A "hidden" mode would also be useful as would it not showing when the "recent screens" button is pressed. EDIT: I forgot to mention that I bought the paid version as it seems to do most things I need.
I wanted to buy the paid for version of this app but it's unable to write to the external sd card in android 6.0 (marshmallow).. fix this and I'll buy it and give a better star rating.
The app gives you peace of mind on your private photos. Direct access to the camera inside the app is a big plus. I hope the developer would improve the authentication though. Password is so last decade, gestures would be handy, finger print would be awesome.
The Android square button that shows recent apps shows the last photo taken in it's app preview. Be Aware!
Doesn't work for Samsung galaxy note s tablet users. App sucks. No delete button that doubley sucks it.
Is there a limit to how many files you can have encrypted at one time? Everytime I try to encrypt more than one file the app crashes. Please fix this issue.
It's great that there's gif support now, only other thing I could ask for is video support, and although this app says its for photo encryption in the title, maybe video compatibility could be added as a paid add on through an in app purchase?
I used this app for a few months and typed in my password frequently. It was great for awhile, but one day it stopped working and said my password was wrong. I did not forget my password. I typed it in all the time. Now I can't access my photos
You solve my problem. The one and only .also a camera and a secrat galrey thanks develpers
Force close after 400 MB for files with larger than this size. No video playing support
keeps saying my password is incorrect every now and then fix it.
Its a nice app wi th amazing features of encryption and hepls in improving privacy. Thanks a lot to developing team. I need this type of applications.
Very reliable and the tweaks and bug fixes over the last year have been excellent. Wouldn't go without this for encrypting files.
256 bit encryption is not the highest it goes. I've seen programs that use 4080 bit encryption

Great app! Would like to suggest to add a time lock feature. Such for instance that one could snap a photo of an actual combination lock, after blindly changing it's key code. SafeCamera would encrypt the picture and allow access to it only after a pre-defined time has passed, before no viewing of the picture allowed. Thus one could use the combination lock after changing the code without looking at it to create a real time-lock safe, similar to Amazon's kitchensafe. Which then could store real-world things to which one would only get access to for instance a day or a week. Could also be used to time-encrypt other files. That would make a great addition and is a market niche.
