Introduction
If you’ve got some photos, videos, or documents that you’d really rather keep away from prying eyes then this iPhone and iPad app might just be the solution you’re looking for, combining passcode protection with the guise of a calculator to provide the utmost in privacy and secrecy.

When reviewing apps like this I always like to make the point that I don’t personally have any use for an app like this because I’m free of secrets. This helps to make me feel a little better myself, but I must admit that this looks to be a pretty darned handy utility to have available!
I really like the calculator front because that alone is likely to deter people from trying to break in, or even think of doing so in the first place. This app is very simple in design but I like it, and would definitely recommend it to those of you who are in the market for just such a tool.
Simple and Secure File Storage
Secret Calculator for iPhone does actually act as a fully functional calculator if you want it to, which I think only serves to enhance its credibility to unsuspecting intruders. Of course, once you’ve gotten past the disguise, the story changes altogether.

The main interface is very simple and features a highly generic design, although the developer has recently made the effort to revamp the visual elements to fall more in line with the design of iOS 7. This also applies to the style of the calculator.

Easily Import and Export Your Photos and Videos
You can use this interface to easily organize your photos, videos, and documents in .TXT and .PDF file formats where no one will ever be able to see them if you don’t want them to.

Adding files can be done very easily as well, by importing from your Camera Roll. Alternatively, you can import and export your files via Wi-Fi transfer without the need to use iTunes, which is something I’m very pleased to see.
There is also an in-app photo viewer and video player, and you can arrange your photos into cool slideshows with a few different transition effects and the option to even have a song playing while you watch.
