Comments on Lock my Folder - Folder hider for Android

★★★★★ shaizi hani · Jun 11, 2026
Better but please explain .if I keep data in it via mmc card then open mmc card in new mobile when old one water damage or damage thwn how I recover and see my files in new mobile
★★★★★ Tim Francisco · Jun 18, 2026
A basic secure folder, It offers several options that you would expect to find on a secure folder app, it's easy to use however I don't believe there's any encryption so if that's important to you will have to look elsewhere.
★★★★★ Ronald Sampson · Jun 30, 2026
Only installed this an hour ago. So far, seems very good. One thing I noticed was, the app can't be disguised so anyone who broke into the phone only has to look and then see some folders and files are hidden. I would like to see a way of changing the app icon to something else, less obvious. Also perhaps, a password entered before the app could be uninstalled Looks what I was looking for. As I use it, I'll edit this review. EDIT 30/6/26. Very good, but please support storage on sd card
★☆☆☆☆ Tun Yaung · Oct 20, 2026
I lost all my file after uninstalling this app without moving them out how can I get my files back?
★☆☆☆☆ Khanh Nguyen · May 14, 2026
I lost my files using this app. I couldn't find and retrieve my hidden files. Very bad application. Luckily I found out by testing it in 5 minutes after installing it.
★★☆☆☆ YS Yeung · Jul 6, 2026
No file list view hence displayed file names far too short
★☆☆☆☆ Simon Six · Sep 2, 2026
Everything you unlock back will be corrupted.
