### 1/5 — Paid for it years ago but it’s abandoned and has problems

*2022-08-03, version 4.3*

Crashed during a lengthy document edit. Moving on to a newer product - one which will not cost me anything because all devs eventually abandon such projects and they become unstable and washed out.

### 4/5 — Love it but…

*2022-06-04, version 4.3*

Need this app update, won’t open anymore, just crashes on my iphone 13! Plz fix, this is a great app to have and store files you don’t want anyone accessing!

### 4/5 — Crashing

*2022-03-03, version 4.3*

The app worked fine till this week.
It crashes and I cant retrieve anything from the up.
Can you please help

### 1/5 — Update the app

*2022-02-09, version 4.3*

The developers have to keep up with the new iOS update.
Update your app please

### 3/5 — Crashes after 14.2 update

*2020-11-23*

It’s a shame this was a handy app. Abandonware? A second re-install and Briefcase Pro now runs. All my carefully uploaded files will need to be put back.
A pity, with a little more TLC this would be 5 stars, but appears to be no longer supported or maintained.

### 1/5 — UPDATE! For those having issues!

*2020-11-21*

UPDATE: After using this app for years, it now crashes when I try to open it. Here’s a fix that works for me. I just discovered that if I turn off my WiFi and put my phone in Airplane Mode, I am then able to access my data. 
I hope this helps any of you that are struggling with this issue.

This was a great app until it started crashing. I used to use it all the time. Now it crashes every time I try to open it. I deleted and reinstalled. I upgraded operating system. Nothing works. I have important docs I need to access. Developer is unreachable!

### 1/5 — File gone.  Can I restore it?

*2020-11-16, version 4.3*

Since the last version of this app kept crashing, I had to delete it from my phone and tried to reinstall-install it.  Today after I re-installed your app, I found all my original saved files are gone.  Is there a way to recover it?  Thanks!

### 1/5 — Unable to use

*2020-11-13*

App shuts off at the start. Unable to login now. Please fix.

### 1/5 — App WILL NOT WORK on IPad

*2020-11-10, version 4.3*

Great app when it works.

Both briefcase apps keep crashing immediately and will not open.  It flashes open and then nothing.... unusable

### 3/5 — App stopped working

*2020-11-10*

App is crashing, i am unable to access documents. Please fix it asap!
