What's New
- Added biometrics. You can now unlock one vault with biometrics (fingerprint, face, etc.)
- Every password/vault now has its own set of folders. E.g. using a new password will no longer show folders added using a different password
Note: this means that you will have to add your folders again as they are not carried over from the previous version.

After a recent update, the App deleted all my encrypted files, all media is not there using the password I used for a long time. Edit: I had to manually find the Vaults and check the location on the phone to add encrypted items. Not cool if you do not include clearer instructions to recover.

Great that it supports any directory. But it lacks in support of video playback. Kindly either add the option to use external video player or add full support for more video formats, particularly .ts, it can't seek forward or backward. Edit: v1.6 (github atm) to the rescue but only 3rd party apps show, OEM media players are not showing . I was wondering if lack of permission was the reason oem media players are not showing up in share menu. Anyways, great app! Would definitely recommend. 👍👍

Good app! But one issue: When I decrypt and export the photo, the original name of the photo is lost! Photo was restored with the new random encrypted name! Can you add an option to export photo with it's original file name? Keep up the good work! Will update to 5 stars!

A little clunky but my favorite thing is it doesn't have the internet permission - there is no way this app is going to phone home with your data.

too bad all my files got corrupted, unviewable, unplayable and unrecoverable. use at your own risk.

Edit: Oh, how unusual. Thanks for the help, that solved it! Good app, works as intended.

Round and round in circles... "Valv can't use this folder"... "Valv is already using this folder". Got bored after the third lap and uninstalled
