About the rating
Store average 4.74 with text average 3.74 and 60% five-stars a one-point gap is moderate for a long-running product. Reviews are substantive on both sides: enthusiastic long-term users alongside specific complaints about database loss after phone upgrades. The picture matches a real product with uneven UX.
Strengths
What users love
- PasswordSafe format ensures compatibility with Windows and Mac
- Developer responds to bug reports and ships updates
- Dropbox and iCloud sync
- Users have run the app for more than 10 years.
Weak spots
What users hate
- Switching to a new iPhone has caused database loss for multiple users
- Cloud backup is pushed with aggressive notifications
- Local iOS-to-desktop sync is inconvenient
- The UI is dated
- Some versions confused users with duplicate database copies.
Who it is for
Experienced users who need PasswordSafe-compatible format and cross-platform access, and who are prepared to keep a separate backup of their database.
