### 5/5 — Awesome

*2015-09-13*

Awesome app for keeping all your passwords

Ease make it universal so it works nicely on the iPad

### 3/5 — Update fixed the problem

*2015-04-05*

April: the app is working now but my confidence is lost. It took too long to fix the issue. Will keep the app but getting a backup to protect myself. 

March: Latest update didn't fix anything. Log in and the app still closes. No access to my 100+ passwords. Unacceptable.

### 5/5 — This version BROKEN!

*2015-04-01*

Previous versions worked great. This automatic update today crashes as soon as the correct password is entered...

Loved it when it worked.. Fortunately data is in my Mac too.

PLEASE FIX ME!

Back to a 4 star... The app would be a 5 but deduct one for two weeks to fix this issue, in spite of multiple negative reviews and emails  before it got done.
The cloud feature did restore my database, so nothing lost

### 5/5 — Yes!!!! It works again

*2015-03-31*

Got my passwords back even.

### 1/5 — March 12, 2015 update crashes on password entry

*2015-03-30*

Used to be very reliable until the developers "improved" it.  Still broken as of March 24th.

### 1/5 — Someone from team may please reply???

*2015-03-27*

It still crashes after the update and my life is about to ruin!!! Can someone please fix this issue as soon as possible???

### 1/5 — Update crashes

*2015-03-24*

This version does not work and the same issue as the previous version.  Old versions worked great.  Last couple of versions exits as soon as the valid password is entered which means all my passwords are unavailable.  I need problem fixed asap and will from now on use a second app to store my passwords so I am not locked out of everything until I receive a patch.  This is near catastrophic as I have all my passwords in this app and only in this app (lesson learned to use a second app to prevent a catastrophic patch).

### 1/5 — Still Broken!

*2015-03-23*

Still the same issue. The latest update didn't fix what got messed up with the previous update. Still crashes when the correct password is entered. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — New update still broke.

*2015-03-23*

I'm starting to think that maybe all my passwords are gone and I will have to reset the ones I can't remember.

### 1/5 — Тупая прога!!! Не качать!!!

*2015-03-23*

После обновления на iOS 8.2 стала вылетать при входе - набираешь пароль, жиешь ОК и вылет! Написалал разрабам, ответили что пофиксили, зальют в аппстор. Обновился - та же ерунда. Удалил полностью, скачал снова - дает войти, синхронизируюсь с айклауд - моей инфы нет!!! И после этого опять вылетает и не дает войти - выбрасывает на раб стол! Гавно, блять! Столько паролей!!! Теперь иди по банкам и восстанавливай пин коды!
