### 5/5 — So helpful

*2021-06-11*

Great app! Thanks!!!

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2021-01-03*

Great app, easy interface, my only issue is when I'm trying to enter all my login info, I have to enter the login name, my username/email and password before I can paste anything into the notes section. This is hard for me due to the fact that I’m upgrading my security level from a locked Notes entry and I’m trying to copy and paste the info for that login into the note section in the app so I can read it from there because I have a horrible memory and forget parts or all of the info by the time I’m logged into the app, and having to go back and forth to get and then save each entry, it’s very time consuming! So it would be very helpful if I could use the note section without having to type something into the required fields first.. 
If that’s possible, it would probably fix my next issue - info being erased when I hit back after entering the password.. i.e. I hit + to add a new login, I have to enter something into the title, username/email and password field before I can paste the info into my notes to help me enter the correct info, so I enter a title name (we’ll just say iTunes, for example), then I type “a” (because I’ve already forgotten what the actual screenname was suppose to be, then click on the password field and enter it (if I can actually remember it at this point.. if not, I just push “a” again and fix it after pasting my info in the notes section next), I hit the save button and then hit back, now the title is missing. It’s been deleted and I have to re-enter it before I can paste my note (the actual info I’m trying to save) but I’ve forgotten that by now too, so I enter “a” and then paste my info into the notes section. NOW, 10 minutes later, I can finally enter the correct info! Hopefully though, the title won’t be deleted when I have to enter the password..
Is there ANY WAY POSSIBLE to fix this? It would save me so much time!! As you can probably tell, my memory is horrible and I have A LOT of logins with different usernames, emails, passwords, etc, which is why I need this app! People like me give people like you a career! 😉 So PLEASE help me! 
Thank so much for reading! I do enjoy the app, keep up the good work & thanks for a convenient and easy-to-use app!
