The new version 1.4 has many  new actions some available to the free version here is a list of everything. I’ll be creating a video of then new actions and functionality shortly.

Display new file action overlay

Display new delete file confirm screen

Display file actions overlay in file view for images

New file naming screen

Favorite file indicator.

There are over 15000 users and many thousands look to come back weekly. This information is take from the advertising tracking in the free version and I assume that the pay version would be similar.

Happy the app is useful for folks. I have plans for updates to the UI in the new year and additional functionality.

The free version had an update on Dec 17 and the update response has been excellent, this also means that the users can easily update the app using the In App Purchase option in the settings area of the app.

Feel free to visit the iTunes store and download either version the full paid version or the free version.

Please leave a rating and or a comment on iTunes as well.

Thanks to everyone who uses either version of the app. If you want some features please email us and we’ll see what we can do.

I’ll post more details when the update is approved.

Over the last few weeks i’ve been notified from some good users of a few minor issues with 2 aspects of File Locker 1.3 the paid version.

After some testing and changes I’ve corrected these errors an will be submitting a maintenance release to Apple within the next 24 hours.

Edit: The updates has been submitted to Apple for review… Bugs will be gone soon.

The 2 issues are.

1. With the cloud service download JPG files would not display even though they are downloaded to your device.
2. Multiple page documents would not scroll as expected.

UPDATES

I’ve been working on a huge update for File Locker Free, this update will give the users of the free version pinch and zoom on images, plus a way to update to the full version via In App Purchasing, which will unlock all the features available in the Paid version.

I’ll be submitting this version after final testing.

Feel free to leave comments and suggestions, follow us on twitter to get the latest news.

After recieving an email from a user. I investigated a little further and found that there is an issue when trying to download JPG files uploaded to the File Locker Cloud. The same file saved as a PNG worked fine, even using the same file and downloading using the Web  URL action in the app worked as expected, though failed to show in the file list when downloaded using the Cloud…

What does this mean…

1. I’m fixing it, and the next update will have the correction.

2. If you can save the file as a PNG, then use the Cloud.

It’ll be fixed soon.

If you want a basic password-protected folder then this is your ap. Thnx. Wish there is an option to return the file to it’s original folder if u change ur mind. It would have garnered 5 stars if it is included in the files one can browse from when looking to attach a pic to an email or text.

Our response… [ your request is on the list...]

From Norman iTunes

This application is exactly what I needed! It allows me to keep my private information PRIVATE!! I do however have one request for the developer for the next ‘update’. Would it be possible to allow the “Swipe” feature while looking at pictures? It is a little confusing to have to go back to the menu page each time you want to look at a different picture. Other than that…. this App is PERFECT!!!!!

Our response… [ your request is on the list... not sure if this will make the next release but soon for sure]

It’s always good to read the feedback from the users. As a result the app improves and provides a better experience for everyone. I read all the comments on thefilelocker.com web site, iTunes and emails. Everything is taking into consideration and more often than not suggestions are implemented. Some of the features that have been suggested:

1. movie save and playback
2. notes feature

So if you have a comment or feature request send a message… then leave an iTunes rating or review.

So this means that the new functionality is now ready and the Cloud service is ready for use.

Whats new for 1.3

AddFileView
- Support for MOV/M4V/MP4/MP3 files
- support for thefilelocker.com cloud service
DisplayFileView
- movie file play

Download from our cloud service.
The most important part in the “Cloud Service”. This basically means that if you need to get a file into File Locker then upload to our server, where you’ll be given an anonymous short url like “jk3er.jpg”, that you enter into the relevant screen in the app and the file will be downloaded to your device and removed from the server.

This is a new feature that will lead to other options in the new future.
More information when details are finalised.

If you haven’t got The File Locker go get it.

File Locker Free gets an update as well. In the new version of our free app you’ll get the create and edit text file feature. This is very handy to create those lists of things you want but not allow anyone to be able to see. These updates are only a few weeks away.

There are well over 5000 users of the app in both versions.

A small request to help us out.

We also welcome feedback to the website via the contact form or via twitter now so you can follow us on twitter to get the latest news from the dev team.

So here for comment page

or here for @thefilelocker on twitter
Thanks
