### 5/5 — Very good

*2026-03-28, version 3.0.162*

Excellent!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-01-08, version 3.0.162*

Not working

### 4/5 — Beware! Flaky cancellation button

*2025-12-26, version 3.0.162*

There are probably many reasons this app has such a poor overall rating. That should tell you something!

The big one for me is… the flaky cancellation button, which sometimes works (for some people I guess) and sometimes doesn't work— and it won't tell you it didn't work and you will be charged anyway, even if you are within the cancellation period. 

They will blame it on a network issue. ;-) 

Sometimes you will need technical support to cancel the subscription. Which they will gladly do and still charge you ... even though you canceled during the cancellation period.

### 3/5 — Ciao

*2025-10-26, version 3.0.162*

Buon programma

### 5/5 — Ok

*2025-08-30, version 3.0.162*

Tutto Ok

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Do What It Says

*2025-02-12, version 3.0.162*

Despite claiming to be “free forever”, the only free part seems to be the Password Manager. It did offer to unencrypt a file for me, but as I don’t so far have any encrypted files I couldn’t try it out, nor could I see any way I could encrypt one. 

You can get a free trial of the other features, but that’s all. As I just want to encrypt one file I don’t feel inclined to pay a subscription, especially as without beginning the sign-up process I couldn’t even see the cost involved. 

If the description had said that in the first place I wouldn’t have wasted time trying to navigate my way around a confusing sign-up process which refused access to the Terms & Conditions it was requiring me to sign up to (is that even legal?). There was a link which turned blue when I tapped on it, but however many times I tried, it wouldn’t open. I eventually had to Google them to find out what they are. 

I’m sorry, but if an app can’t be honest with me from the get-go as to what it’s offering & how much it costs to use its services, there’s no way I’m entrusting it with either a subscription or my data.

### 3/5 — Good product. User interface is pants

*2024-02-24, version 3.0.142*

I’m using this on both my phone and my laptop. Works well. Big problems:1 help / user instructions are non-existent / useless. 2 the user interface on the iPhone is pathetic / near useless. Shame because this software actually works really well and does good / useful stuff.

### 5/5 — Bad customer service

*2024-01-18, version 3.0.119*

Be careful, If you have a problem with this product, you will keep it. The customer service is awful.

### 5/5 — Garanzia

*2023-09-03, version 3.0.110*

È una garanzia in quanto sicurezza.

### 1/5 — Poor quality

*2023-05-19*

Pretty useless on mobile and breaks on PC leaving you with encrypted unrecoverable files. Check the forums for issues before trusting this.
