Ratings and reviews

"Click to Reveal Pin" ruined the app. Now super slow to open, load the different logins, and even revealing the pins is slow. I always find it harder to see the pin I want since the content is so similar with the same text. When it showed the pins automatically, it was easier to pick out the different logins as they didn't blend together.

Great app, but it has an issue importing new accounts! This issue is caused by entries with no text in their 'email' field, which typically shows up inside parentheses at the end of the entry's name. To work around this, rename any entries that happen to end in an empty parenthesis '()', so that there is instead some text inside the parentheses, and then try exporting again. Hope this helps someone!

This app is great... if you never want to change devices ever again. When trying to export to a new phone, it can't process special characters(possibly including spaces). The editing inside the app also doesn't allow you to remove parenthesis from certain keys like nintendo or facebook. I honestly can't believe that a security app developed by the biggest name in tech has such a horrible oversight. As it is now I'm stuck burning a backup code. You only get a few of them, so that's bad.
