### 1/5 — The Worst App

*2025-04-11, version 2.1*

The app is terrible. The inbox icon tells you there is a new email. When you go into the inbox, it doesn’t show it. You have to log out and log back in to get it to update. The process to attach a file is odd. You don’t do it from within the app, you go to the file, right click and select open with, then select Protected Trust. I hope my employer chooses another secure message service because this is terrible to deal with.

### 2/5 — Bare minimum and no update in 7 years

*2022-06-06, version 2.1*

7 years is a long time

### 1/5 — No updates. . .

*2018-03-07, version 2.1*

How about an update after 2 years?

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2016-02-03, version 2.1*

Pretty good app. I use this for personal and business use. A nice feature for the mobile version is being able to see if the messages were read.

### 5/5 — 5 stars

*2015-03-20, version 2.1*

Great work!

### 1/5 — So secure I can't get into my own account!

*2015-02-19, version 1.1*

I was required by work to start using this email encryption service to ensure patient confidentiality.  I have had nothing but trouble with it from day one!  I created a password, which only works approximately 50% of the time.  When it decides not to work, it will give me the message, "Oops!  Wrong password!" If I keep trying, it will lock me out of my account for 12 hours, at which point I will have to do a very frustrating and time-consuming song and dance to reset my password and get my emails.  I have used several other email encryption services which have been far less exasperating.

### 4/5 — Usually great, recently flawed

*2014-10-02, version 1.1*

I've noticed the app no longer opens PDF or word files. All I get now is a black screen. I can't say for certain, but it seems to be a problem since the iOS upgrade.

### 5/5 — Great App, Great Company

*2014-04-29, version 1.1*

Our company has been using Protected Trust for two years now and it's been great. Great app for sending and viewing encrypted email and great customer support.

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2014-03-07, version 1.1*

This app has allowed me to communicate in new ways with existing contacts in a secure and safe fashion. Hundred times better than S/mine and way more flexible than PGP.

### 5/5 — Simple. Effective

*2012-12-05, version 1.0*

If you're looking for a mobile secure email solution this is the one. Very simple interface, highly secure, and integrates with their desktop and web-based applications. Highly recommended!
