PwSafe 2 - Password Safe for Negative User Reviews

✓ Crashes all the time now!The app keeps crashing with the last update. Please fix your app, it is great, when it works!.SVM2001Version: 8.7

✓ No update from 1 to 2App needs to migrate safe but fails.G1a2r3t4hVersion: 9.8

✓ A poor upgrade from the originalIf you have the original don't bother paying for this version and wait for the next revision. The interface isn't as easy to use (as far as I am concerned). But worse still this does not allow you to link to both personal and business Dropbox accounts at the same time. This is rubbish, especially when you come sided Dropbox have supported multiple accounts for ages now..The real Evil AndyVersion: 8.1

✓ No longer populates login & passwordThis feature has been disabled following recent IOS releases which significantly reduces the usefulness of this app.JimmyFizzVersion: 9.10

✓ Not inter-device friendlyI have had this app for a number of years. As far as the day to day I am very pleased. However, being able to have the data communicate between my iPhone and iPad is horrible. I’ve tried iCloud and Dropbox without success. The FAQ’s offered by PWSafe are nearly useless. I will be looking to change my password safe because I am unable to correct this problem..AndyKikiVersion: 8.11

✓ Great app, but confusing font behaviourI really like this app, it has some quirks but mostly I have gotten used to how it works and what to expect. One thing I can't get over though is why you have replaced capital "O" characters in passwords with "0" (zero). I completely understand replacing zeros with a more distinctive glyph (a zero with a dot in the middle) but why oh why replace a capital O with a 0, it is confusing and makes no sense to me, and if your password has no actual zeros in it then there are no contextual clues to remind you that this bizarre substitution has been made. Please fix this!.2763817643Version: 8.1

✓ Unable to link to old versionI’m so annoyed. I was unable to open the old password safe as it had been upgraded. Had to buy the newer version and then still couldn’t open it. So I’ve entered all my details AGAIN and now I’m being told it’s a trial version and will expire in 6 days. Pathetic!.Ssmmss$Version: 9.10

✓ Total rip offYou have to pay to buy the app and then pay again to sync with drop box. No prior warning..VicGuitarVersion: 8.12

✓ LostWent to use it today and all my passwords gone like a fresh install has happened without my involvement. I guess my passwords are secure now as even I don’t know them.M258633Version: 9.10

✓ Upgrade doesn't work - still one month laterEvery Time I open the app with my iPad it asked me to upgrade again I say yes it says upgrade complete. I open the app later I have to go to the whole process once again I have sent an email to support didn't receive any reply Terrible app now. Used to be great.RussellLeakVersion: 9.8

✓ RubbishBy far the most pathetic app on the planet.VvnhgfccVersion: 9.10

✓ Just lost all my passwords with this versionThank you password safe....4mydogaliceVersion: 7.6

✓ Expire???? I paid for the upgrade pwsafe2UPDATE: To the developer response .....Got an answer saying that iCloud syncing is a separate purchase and I need to buy it. People read the description for this app, it states that iCloud syncing is the included but drop box is an in-ap purchase. I am so freekN mad. This is deception at its highest-outright lying to get ppl to buy the app. Now I only have 2 days left. Oh yep, I can still use the app but it will no longer sync to my other devices. That is why bought it in the first place, cuz it said it why I bought it cuz it said it was included, oh ya...it still says that!!!! And nowhere did it say any part of my purchase was a trial!!! BEWARE I paid for this just about a month ago and recently got an email saying my acct is about to expire in 5 days. I looked at my acct info and it says I have a trial version. I will change the stars and this review if my acct doesn’t expire. If it does I will be back to tell you and request a refund. Some upgrade when it sends out messages that your acct is going to expire after paying for it..AdoringJesusVersion: 8.7

✓ Waste of timeAny free application is definitely better than this paid one. Don't buy. I did..TopllineoneVersion: 8.12

✓ Nothing but problemsEvery time I upgrade my phone or restore from a backup the app breaks and I'm expected to connect to my computer and re install from a back up of that app. I'd rather have paid for an app that works without my computer having to reinstall the app every few months..Josh7989Version: 8.2

✓ Deceptive marketingHiding the fact that DropBox sync requires an in-app purchase in the fine print, after promoting it as a feature in the main summary, is weasely and deceptive. How can I trust you with my passwords if I can't trust your honesty in marketing the product?.TruffulaVersion: 8.2

✓ Too complicatedI use the pc version and it works great. The app version is frustrating. Every time I go to open my safe I have to tell the app where to find the the file. Also uses file ext of safe3. If you are trying to keep the file secret that’s too obvious. I don’t use the default ext so it’s an extra step to find the file. I can’t see my wife (way more technical than she can stand) using this because of the number of steps just to open this..Keith90125Version: 9.2

✓ Is good when it decides to openI was finding the app really useful but lately it won’t open - it unlocks but stays on the same screen and just thinks about it which is very inconvenient as I can’t remember any of my passwords without it!.Nicknamewastakenagain!Version: 9.8

✓ Awful since last updateSwitching on Touch ID for the master password (a new feature!) crashes the app. When trying to make a new entry the entry screen suddenly cancels itself whilst you're typing and you lose what you've been entering. The extension in Safari doesn't work and you get an error message when typing in the password. If 1Password wasn't £35 on the Mac App Store i'd buy that instead. But then perhaps that's the price you have to pay for something to work properly..MT2008Version: 7.2.5

✓ Keeps crashing since 9.9Since version 9.9 it keeps crashing as you try to open it. I am using an IPhone 6 with IOS 12.5.5 . The previous version was perfect..RblnVersion: 9.9

✓ No sync availableCannot sync from pw1. Keeps telling me app has to be updated by creator..Bou2011Version: 9.8

✓ DishonestYou have to buy the app, but have to pay again to use Dropbox. This is not made clear..ZakinskiVersion: 9.10

✓ Awful designNot worth the money at all. Terrible design. There is a big ugly text "Tap here..." showing at all times preventing from seeing passwords at the bottom of the page. The buttons/boxes have not been well designed for a mobile app. You have to tap the text exactly where they are or it takes you where you don't want to go. If opening an external safe, the app does not save its location forcing you to navigate every time to find the safe..Perboy1396Version: 8.2

✓ Requires Frequent Maintenance by UserI've used this app for a few years now. For the most part it works good, but every few weeks something messes up and then I can't login to my external safes. They always fix it eventually but what a pita. The latest bug doesn't even get as far as typing a password - I select the external safe file then nothing!.MrMcGoo#1Version: 8.10

✓ Support is no good.I am having some issues with the app and need to talk to someone to get them sorted out..it is impossible to get the help you need..Lilfilly2Version: 8.5

✓ Better transfer of data between devicesBetter transfer of data between devices without using cloud!.Pi3.151Version: 9.8

✓ It's great appIt's great app but becoming expensive.GrekAUVersion: 7.2.5

✓ Do not like interfaceI did not like the usability of this app at all. It’s too messy for me and your password files get sent to the internet all over the place and I do not feel I have control over that. Did not like this app. Waste of money for me..IDM@iCloudVersion: 8.10

✓ Broken?Had this for a while, worked well up until now, but now seems to need serious upgrade, all data lost, can't access safes, keeps wanting me to link to cloud back up or buy cloud support, have lost it seems, all entrusted information which I had relied on this purchased app to store..KiwibobcatVersion: 8.1

✓ Painful 30 day loginThe app will not allow thumb print sign in every 30 days, requiring manual entry. Strong passphrase access to pwSafe is appropriate and painful on a small mobile device. Should be able to have non-expiry of biometric login.Alan PedleyVersion: 9.8

✓ WowEdit: They are not as transparent as I thought they state being open source when in reality they aren’t truly open sourced and on top of that they won’t respond as to why there is analytics within an offline password app! I mean this is an offline password app why should it be connecting to the internet unless you choose to use one of syncing solutions they have?!?! Very sketchy in my honest opinion! Just want to say this is way better and way more secure than most of the password apps out there! This one has the convince and piece of mind of having the chance to store your passwords offline while still having an appealing interface to look at... many of the offline password keepers have a very dated and just plain terrible UI! So glad to have found this keep up the good work dev! Thanks so much please never quit updating ;).JoshdouglasdavisVersion: 9.2

✓ Not really Password Safe compatiblePassword Safe has supported YubiKey since at least 2014. There’s no support for YubiKey here..Aspiring TunaVersion: 9.10

✓ Doesn’t support YubiKey!!!I have been happily using pwSafe for years... since the first version. I am downgrading my rating to 3 stars because pwSafe does not yet support a physical security key like the popular YubiKey 5ci. pwSafe is a security tool. You are reading my review so you must care about security too. You will keep almost all of your most important passwords in your password manager tool. Don’t you want to protect your master password with some sort of 2FA? This is a major enough flaw that I’m willing to take my passwords over to a competitor. There are several big names that support YubiKey today. The desktop version—Password Safe—supports YubiKey but the iOS version does not..Alex in San FranciscoVersion: 9.8

✓ Horrible supportHope it works flawlessly for you because they took almost a week to respond to support requests and then they closed out tickets with solutions that don’t work. Am moving to another manager. I had to cpy my data via paper. Avoid this company. Would rate as zero if allowed..CalPTVersion: 8.12

✓ Extremely buggyThis app has the right idea, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work the way you expect it to. When I put in numbers in the notes, it duplicates the numbers and basically messes up what you’re trying to convey. Creating an entry doesn’t end up with what you expected it to be. If there was a moneyback guarantee, I’d want my money back. It’s not all be at. I like the fact that it is on the cloud and appears on all my devices. That’s probably the best feature of the program. A nice feature is that if you select an entry it automatically copies the password to the clipboard. Folders are mentioned throughout but I couldn’t figure out how to get an entry into a folder. The app has a higher learning curve..CapngeneVersion: 9.2

✓ Terrible accessCan’t access my safe on the iPhone because I use ubikey on my Mac. Waste of money.JesseLegerVersion: 9.2

✓ IncompetentRefuses to connect to password safes after upgrade. Costing me a lot of money. DO NOT USE this app under ANY circumstances. They don't have a clue what a contract means, just trying to fleece you after you already paid - then refusing to deliver the paid-for services. Completely incompetent.Ottawa5745763257Version: 8.10

✓ Not a fan and customer support is slow.I bought this app based in recommendations I read and the need to have a place to keep my passwords. Problem is with password retrieval. The App does not let me even view the saved passwords. What good is it to store password that cannot be retrieved when needed? I sent a message to customer support asking for assistance. I am still waiting in a response. I suspect I will get a response this way much faster..GettinghungryhereVersion: 9.8
