Vault: An advanced Android app for all your dirty secret needs

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 09:16 AM PDT

We rarely talk about apps of this nature but the latest offering by Vault caught my attention, not that I needed the app but its features are so well thought out I had to give it a quick mention.

The application will keep your secret photos, videos and contacts hidden from anyone but yourself. It will even hide itself (stealth mode) and only be accessible when a set number is dialled, what’s more cool is that it will take a picture if someone tries to break in. As you can imagine, the functions it offers can hardly be tolerated by Apple and hence it is only available for Android devices. (There is a Vault app for iOS but from a different developer) Check it out in the video below…
