Massive improvement

AES Crypt 4.0 is a game changer. The app offers a smooth, modern design and all problems and bugs have been successfully patched. It’s now so easy to use the app!

You can snap a picture, record a video, even select any file from your gallery and go. It’s so easy to decrypt as well! The app values privacy, and with the new pin and Face ID feature security is top notch.

My previous lifetime subscription still carried from the older versions, which was surprising to say the least! One more thing: the encryptions are very customisable, you can select two versions of AES as well as change the save directories and many more I still haven’t looked into. This app is certainly worth the small $10 price tag.

Sorry if I sound like an advertisement, but I’m just very happy with how it’s turned out.

Was Great

But I'm sure you know by now that it can't decrypt files encrypted with the latest version of AES Crypt on other platforms. Are you planning to update this? If not, please hand it off to someone who will. I think you owe your paid customers that much.

Response from developer

Version 4.0 of the app was just released that supports the latest version of AES Crypt on other platforms. Sorry for the delay.

Lie. Not free.

Do you understand what “free with an app purchases” means? If I have to pay to use the function that is advertised, that means it’s paid not free. Why did you greedy people decide to make it cost money on iOS when it is 100% free on Linux, Windows, and macOS? It’s like iOS is a breeding ground for monetization. I hate Apple. There is not a single thing on the App Store that doesn’t cost money. Again if it is paid, why did you lie that it was free?

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. As stated in the description, the free functionality is decryption. The most common use case — encrypting on a desktop, uploading to cloud storage, downloading the encrypted file to iPhone, and decrypting/viewing it — is completely free. Developing and maintaining iOS apps involves ongoing costs (App Store fees and keeping up with Apple’s requirements), so the small in-app purchase for the additional encryption feature helps support continued development and updates. The price is kept as low as possible compared to similar apps..

SCAM

The encrypt camera didn’t work when you pressed it and kept crashing. When I deleted and reinstalled it, I had to pay AGAIN and there is no way to restore purchases.

Aes crashes

The app is crashing in many scenarios One of them is if you export the encrypted to the app and it has special chars on its filename , like -= Tried with different iPhones Feels like the app wasnt really tested I am the stupid who payed for this app .Main functionality of the app - encrypt camera picture dowsnt work , crashes as well. There arw more scenarios of crashes.
In addition to all this- the app support is linking to malware non existing site!!!

Unbelievable poor quality!!!

Response from developer

Sorry for your frustration. The app had been neglected for too long, but version 4.0 is a complete re-write that resolves many of those issues. Please try the updated version, and if you still experience crashes or purchase problems, visit our updated support site for help.
