Ratings and reviews

I like this app; clean, easy to use, and straightforward. However I recently moved away from biometrics on my phone back to just using a PIN for security, and it appears that the app doesn't support using a PIN to unlock. When I had face and fingerprint unlock set before, it would prompt for those methods when I opened the app. now that they're removed, the app just opens without asking for a PIN. It's a bit of a bummer as I like that extra step for security.

I don't understand why this needed to be released without it being ready. Recent update just allowed importing from other authenticators, which is great, but it's still missing so many important features. You can't reorder any of your entries. You can't add any logos like you can in aegis. You can't change the formatting of any of the items. For example, you're unable to make the numbers any bigger for readability purposes. They should have been cooked much longer before it was released.

I think the app is the poor child of a commercial strategy. The free tier of bitwarden does not allow TOTP. That's OK, I get it and I'm a paying customer (amazing value). However, this app was meant to offer an alternative for free users. But, without cloud syncing for cross device use, it's pretty much useless. And very risky, should you lose your device and not have a backup...
