It really does hide and encrypts, also you can play videos and images inside, aswell delete, rename, restore again, etc. What is really bothersome is that if you update this app is very likely to loose everything that was encrypted, so you must backup everything anyhow, thats why I give it 2 stars: -1 not for casual user due it's troubleshooting, -2 you have to do extra things when updating this app, -3 new users to this app are very likely to loose their stuff.
