## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Fails at every task

*2025-08-27, version 4.5.1*

This app simply doesn’t work. Create a new CSR in the generator, doesn’t appear in the CSR manager. Attempt to create a private key and EVERY time it fails with Invalid Key. Or Invalid PEM. Or Invalid everything.

Frankly, it is useless.

### 1/5 — Promising, but can't use it.

*2021-11-12*

In trying to use PEM parser, I am unable to paste a certificate into the app window. Edit controls are grayed out.

**Developer response:** ## Update ##
A new version ist available in the app store that fixes this problem.

## Old answer ##

Hello and thank you for the feedback! The bug is related to an update of the framework behin this software. While we are waiting for a fix of the bug, we will prepare a new update downgrading the framework version.

You have currently two options while you are waiting for the update :
* use "control" + "v"* use right click to display a paste button

### 2/5 — CSR Generation

*2024-05-15, version 4.5.5*

Software expects a pre-installed openssl software. but that cannot be installed on an ipad.

### 2/5 — Usefull app but no native M1 support

*2022-01-23, version 3.8.2*

Would be great if you could add native M1 support. As I try to not install Rosetta, i can't use it at the moment.

### 2/5 — Dark mode difficulties, limited functionality

*2021-08-10*

Key problems for me:

- This app is not able to generate CSRs for SAN.
- Display is pretty "broken" after you generate your CSR, in dark more.  Not legible at all.
- There's no easy way to save the keys and CSR and so forth.  Have to cut and paste everything.
- It doesn't have any key management utilities
- It doesn't allow me to choose SHA-2 during the CSR process.

Nice idea, but needs a lot of work to meet industry needs.

**Developer response:** Hello Launchfire,

## Update ##
A new update is now available (3.4.1) that contains the desired features.

## Old answer ##
Thanks for the constructive feedback. Some of the suggested points are already on my roadmap and will be available within one of the next updates.
If you have some other points, I will be glad to hear from you directly via the build in feedback functionality or via email.

- This app is not able to generate CSRs for SAN.
=> This feature is already on the roadmap.
- It doesn't allow me to choose SHA-2 during the CSR process.
=> The signing alogorithm is currently forced to SHA-256 for ECC and RSA. The feature to select between different alogorithm is on the readmap.
- Display is pretty "broken" after you generate your CSR, in dark more.  Not legible at all.
=> Would you like to contact me directly via email with a screenshot ?
- There's no easy way to save the keys and CSR and so forth. Have to cut and paste everything.
=> This feature is also already on the roadmap
- It doesn't have any key management utilities
=> This feature is noted and will be checked out

Regards

### 4/5 — Yes please! Yes please!

*2021-12-09, version 3.7.2*

I'm really hoping to use this software as it perfectly fits a requirement in my daily workflow.  However, I get an entirely grey screen on the SSL Check function.  I note that others have had this, as it is reported as 'fixed' in the latest update, which I do have.  My OS is Catalina 10.15.7

### 5/5 — Highly Impressive Privacy Tool

*2023-01-11*

I am very impressed and appreciative of how well thought out this app is, it’s extensive functionality and documentation.   Truly useful and first class quality for those that want to work with (and verify) SSL/TLS certs.

### 5/5 — Umfangreich und nützlich

*2022-12-06, version 4.4.2*

Umfangreiches Tool, echt nützlich bei administrativen Serverarbeiten. Teilweise fehlt etwas Bedienerkomfort. Beispielsweise bei den SSL Checks wäre es sehr hilfreich, wenn man für eine erneute Prüfung den Hostnamen aus der History nehmen könnte.
Gelungen ist, dass man sich die häufig gebrauchten Funktionen im Home-Bereich selbst zusammenstellen kann.

### 5/5 — Problem mit Framework

*2022-04-07, version 3.9.4*

Anfänglich funktionierte die App bei mir nicht, doch die Hersteller reagierten sehr schnell und echt freundlich auf mein Feedback. Davon war ich echt baff. Jetzt klappt alles genau so, wie ich es erwartet habe. Diese Firma sollten sich so manch andere Firmen zum Vorbild nehmen.
