However, it seems no upgrades or attention has been paid to this app for quite some time. PLEASE give us the OPTION of putting the “passwords” websites in alphabetical order! Once you have added many websites and passwords to this app it is VERY time consuming scrolling up and down the list looking for one! Also, the ‘contact’ email for app support is not valid. Will be deleting the app if some updates to this app are not done… ### 2/5 — Sul mio iPhone 11 l’app sembra una normale calcolatrice e tutto funziona bene, ma sul mio iPhone 13 *2023-08-18* La schermata della calcolatrice è scomparsa e accedo all’app inserendo una password in una schermata anonima. Francamente preferivo tenere la calcolare ### 5/5 — Great app with all the functionality.. *2023-02-08, version 1.0.2* Nice UI ### 3/5 — Not very intuitive *2022-08-27, version 1.0.1* The description says you can store passwords, notes, etc but I can’t figure out how to input free text. It needs a user’s manual! ### 1/5 — BEWARE: May not be worth the risks. *2022-08-14, version 1.0.1* We already have the Apple Keychain that has (and will continue to have) Apple’s full support, at least until they replace it with something else, and provide the necessary tools to migrate all of our data. And you can be sure that they have at least a team of developers on this aspect of their device and OS crossing security. But to trust that same important data (and more) within a 3rd party app (any 3rd party app), is extremely risky. Especially within a brand new app in this secured information app-space where a number of well established vendors have been developing and honing their apps in the scene for years. WHY IS IT RISKY? Because there are many ways that you could lose access to your data in a moment (if not permanently lose your presumed safe data), without knowing about it until you next try to use the app. If you don’t use the app very frequently, it could be quite a long time before you discover a data access / loss issue. For all we know, this may have been built be a fly-by-night developer, who could take the app out of the AppStore any time they feel like it, and close up shop. They could increase the minimum app requirements to the very latest version of iOS / iPadOS, or even just to a version that your hardware can’t run (or you don’t want to run, for some reason). And don’t forget the potential for bugs to wreak havoc and/or cause damage. Take version 1.0.0, for example, where upon launch, the app was prompting for a 4 digit code to gain entry, before it even gave you an opportunity to set your code. Kind of a silly bug, really, when it comes down to it, and it appears to have been fixed in version 1.0.1. But ask yourself the questions, “Was that really a bug? Or was it some kind of skeezy ruse by the developer to increase app downloads, right at a time when the very steep $49.99 Lifetime IAP was discounted to $0.00, but without actually ever allowing anyone who wanted that free IAP to actually get it?” The developer can say anything they want about that, or anything else, but there’s just no telling what the real truth might be. —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— —— NOTE: I am a developer with a B.Sc. in computer science, and I’m commenting here just as anyone can. I am in no way connected with this developer, and I don’t know him/her/them. I have never developed any apps for Apple hardware, or Apple operating systems, but I’m sure it is both challenging, and rewarding. Fwiw, I’m just someone who has been in the business for my entire working career, and who has seen a few things. ### 1/5 — Not Technically worth *2022-08-10* When added picture it keeps replacing with same on all the next add Lost videos as well in same ### 1/5 — Free app not worth it *2022-08-07, version 1.0.1* The good and bad parts of the app: Good parts Hides itself well under disguise of calculator. Free app at the time. Bad parts Can only use Google to search. Cannot bookmark web sites. Cannot download pictures. Long press does nothing. Cannot download video files. No instructions. No response from developer about above questions through email. Needs lots of work. Not worth it. In short…deleted! ### 4/5 — My thoughts *2022-08-06, version 1.0.1* So I got this app when it was free and although I do like it, I wouldnt pay the asking price of £49.99 for lifetime use and there is a few reasons for that: 1) it looks very basic and the app looks stretched on my iPhone 13 and dated 2) there is no way of connecting this to your laptop or to an account online so I can access photos etc online etc for backup purposes 3) when you use face unlock it shows the face scan pop up you get when you try and purchase things, this isn’t good as when people are snooping they can see this and know that the app is not what it looks to be. ### 1/5 — Video cant play *2022-08-06, version 1.0.1* While i save video to that app cant play video! ### 3/5 — Good app, has the potential to be more *2022-08-06* I wish the app would let you download videos from the browser too. ## Frequently asked questions about Secure Vault ### What does Secure Vault do?
