How do I know that this app is secretly not accessing my media?

How do I know that what I store In this app is only saved locally, and the dev doesn't have access to my files?

Good question, which goes with how private is your cloud use? I gather that google's cloud analyses everything you store on it, although whether true or not.... (I think that Apples icloud, Box and Dropbox may be safe, but who knows.)

To my mind the only safe place is a disconnected drive, data CD, DVD, etc. or USB memory stick sitting in a drawer at home.

As for apps with cookies, etc. ?

(My apologies for deviating somewhat from your particular question and app, but I see it as being related to a certain extent in terms of security.)

Well , I am aware that cloud security is somewhat a fairytale , however this app claims that there is no cloud, it doesn't store the files anywhere, they're stored locally on the iPad only , how do I verify that though.

You could write to the Developer to see if they will confirm their claim. In the end it's all about trust, but if you don't want want anyone to see your photos you are going to need to store them off line.
