That’s how you explore the market, and then you find ways to exploit it! Let the second stage begin! As such, the best I can possibly will EVER give, is 2 stars. And ONLY to give credit where credit is due. What a shame!! ### 2/5 — Shame *2025-10-01* It truly pains me to say this, but since the original DEV Mark (Strongbox Founder) had turned out to be a complete sell-out, of their masterpiece app, I'm even more skeptical that these DEV’s will maintain it with the same dedication; just look at ‘Bartender’ app. Maybe Mark should have considered selling it to LastPass, because they too, “cared” about your privacy and security. 😂 It's like selling a Picasso at a garage sale and expecting a random stranger to care about it just as much as the sell-out did.

Only because to give the only credit where credit is due. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! And we're really happy to hear you're enjoying the app. Regarding sorting custom fields, this is actually something we can help you enable. Could you please contact us via our support email: support@strongboxsafe.com ### 5/5 — Great for psafe3 *2025-08-10* Full featured and elegant app for Password Safe format databases. Removal of network/sync code is a helpful added layer of protection. ### 1/5 — Sold out *2025-05-12* App was sold to a company with a bad reputation. So much for a lifetime pass. **Developer response:** The lifetime pass for Strongbox hasn’t been changed, and we have no intention of taking it away! We’re happy to answer any concerns directly if you get in touch, support@strongboxsafe.com ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY - ACQUIRED BY SCAM COMPANY *2025-04-13* This app used to be great but the developer sold it to a company that specializes in buying apps, filling them with ads and tracking, and transitioning them to a predatory subscription mode while refusing to honor previously-sold lifetime licenses. It’s only a matter of time before they pull the same stunt on Strongbox. **Developer response:** The lifetime pass for Strongbox hasn’t been changed, and we have no intention of taking it away. There’s no ads or tracking in this app, and there won’t be. We’re happy to answer any concerns directly if you get in touch, support@strongboxsafe.com ### 1/5 — Run far away from this app *2025-03-19* Strongbox was recently sold to Applause Group, a company known to acquire popular apps and then ruin it by extorting customers with ridiculous subscriptions and adding privacy invading analytics. If you value your privacy and security use an app like Keepassium instead ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2025-01-01* Does everything I need from a password manager and easily branches off from the legendary keepass manager that started it all. They have so much user accommodations built into their apps that they have thoughtfully designed these apps around your needs. They are a very responsive developer that also take user concerns and ideas into their designs. You won’t get this level of care from some of the other password manager apps. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying using Strongbox. -Sam ### 4/5 — 为什么下载后就是strongbox 而不是zero? *2024-10-26* 为什么下载后就是strongbox 而不是zero? **Developer response:** 我们不太清楚您的意思。请给我们发送电子邮件，以便我们为您提供帮助：support@strongboxsafe.com -Sam ### 5/5 — Excellente application *2024-07-03* Excellente application, c'est la version light et plus secure de la PRO. Excellent support technique par mail **Developer response:** Merci pour la critique ! Nous sommes heureux d'apprendre que vous appréciez l'utilisation de Strongbox. -Sam ### 5/5 — Perfekt, wenn Passwörter offline bleiben sollen *2024-06-18* Lange Zeit bin ich mit dem Apple Schlüsselbund ohne iCloud gut zurecht gekommen. Da nun aber mehrmals die iCloud-Synchronisation nach Updates von selbst angegangen ist, musste ich mich nach einer Alternative umsehen. Passwörter möchte ich einfach nicht in der Cloud haben. Bei Strongbox Zero bin ich fündig geworden. Die Verwaltungsmöglichkeiten sind deutlich umfangreicher und man muss keine Sorge haben, dass hier etwas versehentlich doch mit einer Cloud synchronisiert wird. Beispielswiese per AirDrop kann man Passwortdatenbanken dennoch problemlos zwischen unterschiedlichen Geräten weitergeben. Das Programm ist sehr übersichtlich. Wenn man aber doch einmal Hilfe benötigt oder Fragen hat, reagiert der freundliche Support sehr schnell, sogar am Wochenende. Ich bin restlos zufrieden! **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die Bewertung! Wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen Strongbox gefällt. -Sam ## Frequently asked questions about Strongbox Zero ### What is Strongbox Zero?
