Easy

This worked super! Great and easy - thank you

Poor app

I have left the company and uninstalled the app . Requesting the developer to stop sending unwanted notifications

Terrible

This app is awful. Downloaded it to see encrypted file. Takes me to a how to once I click to open the app. How is Microsoft still the designated system for so many?!?

Terrible

Hard to use sends you in circles and never works.

Simply does not work

The app does not do what it says it will. For instance the app states you will be prompted to sign when opening a secure message. Not true, at least in my case.
