### 5/5 — Love Pator

*2021-02-01*

Been using pastor on MBP for years and it has been excellent. Now that it’s iOS it’s been great. Safe and Secure is key, without bells and whistles. Simple and easy.
Thank you!
:)

### 5/5 — Yaay!  It’s been totally updated - it’s fabulous!

*2020-07-26*

Pastor was my go-to for passwords and sensitive data for many years on my MBP. Markus added an iOS version, which was handy, but you could still only enter or edit on the Mac. When he stopped supporting the desktop version I was very disappointed. 
But recently I discovered he was reworking and updating it for iOS, and I was lucky enough to be a Beta Tester. 
It’s now out of Beta, and it is fabulous!!  Better than it ever was before. 
You can add new items, edit and revise current items, and do everything you need to do, without a bunch of features you don’t need. 
I have zero complaints, which is unusual for me (smile).  Pastor for iOS is 100% awesome, and I highly recommend it. 
Thank you, Markus.

### 5/5 — I absolutely love this app!

*2020-05-09, version 2*

I have been using this app for many many years on a desktop computer, but I’m glad it works on smartphones too because I can check my old passwords directly from my phone!  Great app and easy to use

### 5/5 — Super sicher

*2020-05-02*

Ich liebe dieses Tool, lokales Speichern, keine Synchronisation in irgendeine Cloud, von der ich nicht weiß, wer sie kontrolliert oder darauf Zugriff hat. Und jetzt endlich Bearbeiten der Einträge und neue Einträge hinzufügen direkt in der App! Danke!

### 2/5 — Pastor ohne Passwort

*2017-02-28*

Eigentlich bin ich ein Fan der Desktop-Variante. Bei der Smartphone App fehlt mir eine zusätzliche Passworteingabe beim Starten der App.Ein Passwort muss ich bei der Desktopvariante ja auch eingeben. Irgendwie will ich mich rein gefühlsmäßig nicht darauf verlassen, das die Touch-ID oder mein iPhone-Passwort ausreichen. Immerhin befinden sich meine Daten im Klartext auf dem iPhone und sind nach Start der App dann für jeden lesbar.Ich habe den Pastor-Reader auf meinem iPhone wieder gelöscht. Schade.

### 1/5 — Cannot actually read a Pastor file

*2016-04-14*

I have my Pastor file in Dropbox for easy sharing between devices, but this app cannot actually read a Pastor file. You could do an export from Pastor (required for this app) and just save the export in Dropbox and just look at it with a text viewer. No security with this app.

### 4/5 — Really Great App

*2015-08-12*

I’ve been using the desktop version for years now! It’s been my go-to app for holding my passwords, as it’s easy, convenient and simple to use. I was pretty surprised to see the mobile app, so I decided to give it a try and it’s been great so far! 

Like the desktop app, it’s super simple to use. I do agree with JTdesign that the security on the app is none. You can open it just like Safari or iMessage…no password needed, which is a little counterintuitive. Since I downloaded the mobile app, I changed the password on my iPhone lock to 18 characters, so no one should be able to get into my phone and access these passwords.

Improvements - make it wireless. Every time you make a change or add a password on the desktop app, you have to plug in your phone and sync it with the mobile version in order to update it. I would also recommend being able to use the mobile version to add passwords. Right now, you can only add passwords on the desktop version, not the mobile version. 

I still love the app, but there are a few improvements that should be made. Still worth my $1.99.

### 1/5 — Still no iCloud functionality!

*2015-07-23, version 1.0.1*

Please create an app that syncs the database via iCloud!!

### 1/5 — Keine Sicherheiten Passwörter

*2015-05-31*

Dies hier ist nur ein Reader, Wie hier mit Passwörtern umgegangen wird kann nicht gefallen. Ich werde mich dem vorherigen Urteil von „Dietzenbacher“ anschliessen und mir für die Zukunft lieber ein anderes Programm zulegen. So nicht!

### 3/5 — Inutile senza protezione password.

*2015-01-02, version 1.0.1*

Fatta bene e funzionale come la versione desktop ma ovviamente inutile senza alcuna protezione password per l'app. Sarebbe un must-have con un piccolo aggiornamento.
