### 1/5 — A scam

*2025-08-19*

I downloaded this app to investigate how it works and what it does. Once I understood the lack of customization, options or explanations I ended the trial early. Now, I am being harassed by repeated emails to verify “my existence”. I am glad I did not pay for such a scam.

**Developer response:** Issue resolved in version 1.1.1

### 5/5 — Works well

*2026-01-14*

Developer worked out the kinks and is working smoothly.

### 5/5 — Interesting concept

*2025-12-21*

I’ve tired similar services this one seems most friendly and I’m able upload and encrypt files directly from my iPhone.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2025-09-11*

I’ve tried out the app and it works for exactly what I need it for. If ever I “disappear”, I have certain notes or passwords/codes I want shared to certain people that I wouldn’t bother having set up with a lawyer.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-06-20*

Very smooth experience, great UI, does exactly what I needed - might be the only platform I’ve found that does.
