Wallet

I loved this software and have been waiting for an update that is never coming. I've contacted the developer and they have not written back. As others have pointed out, display names are broken up and hard to read. I doubt that the security on this is close to what is claimed because it's been so long without and update. DON'T Buy.

My recent update to Ventura (like someone else reviewed here) has caused the display/name of each entry to be partially covered up by the 'favories' star icon. Bummer because this has been my go-to for years and I'll need to find something new and somehow transfer all the information over. Yikes!!

Despite consistent and constant software support, the app store completely lies to you regarding compatibility, you will find error 173 at the moment of opening the app if your MacBook is from before 2019, mine is from 2015, despite having the software OS support, it just does not seem to function on some hardware from Apple products unless it was a phone.

Ive had this app for going on 8ish years, With the latest Iphone update, the app crashes and will not load. wth is going on? have you guys given up on this? All my passwords are in there and I can not access them. What to do now?

Well, time for an updated review… I tried a bunch of the newer ones when my 15 year old son was asking what he should get. They’re all so flashy and make far too big a deal of things, and I don’t like the new tendency to implement cloud syncing between devices (all my passwords being up on a cloud seems rather counter to the whole purpose of protecting passwords), as well as the subscription model (I’d pay for good old -fashioned updates). This one just works. The flexibility is wonderful, I use it for storing machine serial numbers, hard drive security codes, pretty much anything that needs a code. The password generator is really great as well, as is the ability to export as CSV or text (something I’ve learned to do regularly since the last password app crashed and burned 10 years ago). I recently wrote to support to ask about a feature, and they were very responsive. I’ve been using it about ten years now, and I don’t even remember it ever “crashing” or failing in some way. Oh, and for the mouse-averse (like me), there are more then enough key commands. So, in an age where much software seems fairly janky and hastily put together or poorly implemented, this is one you can count on.

On my 2019 iMac running macOS 10.15.4 I can not get Wallet to load. I keep getting this message “ “Wallet” is damaged and can’t be opened. Delete “Wallet” and download again from the App Store.” After 10 times downloading and from both App Store and your website and getting the same error, I give up. Wallet works on my office MacBook Pro and my iPhone. This is most frustrating.

I've had this app for Years. I've been through the majority of the updates and I have yet to find another app that works as well as this does. The categories and groups are great to keep my accounts sorted and easy to find. For me, it works great and I have tons of accounts. The only thing I'd like to see changed is the sync feature. I'd like to be able to sync via WiFi automatically and I'd like the ability to see it sync from the most recent device to other devices automatically. Otherwise, its great, efficient and easy to use. I love the ability to open the app, then choose the account and the url opens it up automatically and fills in the info. So helpful!

***Update*** 2019-09-11 I am still using Wallet and it hasn't let me down. I feel the most comfortable with this app. Every now and then, I try other apps to see if I like them. I'm probably so used to this one plus I'm a loyal person and it does everything I need, so, I'm happy to keep using it. The only request I could make, is if we could add custom icons to the app for more flexibility and personalization, but not a big deal. this app should be on Apples Hall of Fame for apps that have been top notch for so many years. Thanks for keeping us updated. Original review Just want to add my view on Wallet. I have had the iOS app for many years. I just recently bought the desktop app as I wanted to export the database to CSV. I have loved the iOS app and was surprised when it was no longer being updated. I received a message about not being able to continue working on the app. I understand that programmers are people too. There are big house developers and there are developers that do most of their own stuff and don’t have the “big money” backing and sometimes in this life, we have to choose supporting ourselves and if you were offered a job with a big company, tell me you wouldn’t go… For the guy complaining that the programmer left: Again, I don’t think he has major financial backing and I can understand not being able to continue the work. It IS A LOT of work. The truth is that he came back. I stuck with Wallet iOS even after there was no support. I started to move to another software… Tried out many, and yes there are fancy ones out there, but none of them measured up to how I was used to using Wallet. So, I dug in and decided to use the app as long as I could get it to work and it did work. I sent the developer a message asking how to convert the database so that I coulde move it to another app and although the iOS version didn’t support it, he gave me some instructions. I followed the instructions, but I was never happy with any other app.I was about to give up and for some reason tried to update Wallet one last time and to my surprise, IT UPDATED!!! After a couple of messages back and forth, he did explain to me that Wallet desktop has the export feature to CSV and Tab Delimited Text. If the app is no longer supported, this can be used to convert the database. Companies come and go sometimes and the app world is no different. I can’t blame him for choosing the best method to support himself. I can’t speak for others, but he has always responded to me when messaging him and he has always been respectful. Again, to the guy complaining, I’m guessing you probably weren’t respectful and was dished back what you gave out. You can’t EXPECT anyone to stay in a job their entire life. If they choose to, great. How many times have you changed your job??? Anyway, I am glad that he is back and supporting his apps and I will continue using them until I no longer can. Give respect/getrespect

App continuously crashes. I lost data that I set up far a website. Support is non-responsive. Unable to export a CSV file, because it crashes. I have to manually transfer hundreds of data to a better APP. Be careful!

While true there was a patch were there were no updates, the app continued to work and work. The sync issue with dropbox was fixed in the last RECENT update. I have researched every option out there and even before the last update this app is so much better than anything out there. The ability to attach files to the individual password records is awesome and unique. You can attach the receipt and license codes for example along with the password info. You can customize the records every which way for whatever your are storing. (Great for credit card numbers, parts listings, everything. NOTHING IS EVEN CLOSE TO WALLET!
