User reviews

Really quite useless on iPad

You can just log in to vault.sfu.ca to use SFU vault. This app does not allow you to edit files anyway, so it really offers no difference in functionality compared to the website.

It might be useful if you’re using this on a phone, because the app offers a better interface compared to the mobile version of the website.
