Best Secret Folder review

Best Secret Folder, from RV AppStudios, focuses on catching snoopers. Its App Store listing says that, when activated, it captures a photo and the location of anyone who fails to log in 4 times, can email that report with date, time and location, and shows the number of break-in attempts on the icon. A security log records successful and failed logins and PIN changes, and an intruder stopper can show fake videos. Locks include a password, pattern, Face ID or Touch ID, and folders are unlimited. The icon is designed to be hard to notice. Premium costs $14.99 a year on the US App Store and adds unlimited storage, break-in alerts and password recovery; ad removal alone is $0.99. The listing does not describe encryption, and the latest update is from September 2025. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test each app.
