| 2024-03-30 |  | | Great password manager, i love that it works both with local files and also has cloud integration, its able to be self-hosted via nextcloud (or other webdav-compatible servers) or you can use google drive or dropbox for cloud. Great flexibility, great features, great UI, highly recommend. |
| 2024-03-13 |  | | The desktop experience is really good 💯. But the mobile app experience is really bad 🅾️ because the autofill doesn't work in any browser . If it gets fixed it would be a really great cross platform password manager. |
| 2023-03-13 |  | | This does not work as I expected it from my experience with the desktop app. I can't import local .bcup files and the files/directories created by the app are in a different format, undetectable by file managers. 👎 Disappointing state, hope it will improve. |
| 2022-07-18 |  | | I use firefox for browser and I have few comments. Getting the prompt to use buttercup to fill the password is inconsistent most of the time it fades before I click anything. In your website you claim to have security overlay when app is minimized, that doesn't work. I can't load a local vault that I export it from my computer, no way to import it. The password generator generated password with lower and upper case without digits few times even though i only included these three. Good luck. |
| 2022-04-23 |  | | Very functional, great password manager. I still use bitwarden, but i was looking for an offline password managwr aswell, and this one is perfect! The UI could use a bit more colours, possibly make the entries a little more than just single line text. Would make taking notes easier. |
| 2022-01-30 |  | | The idea an the Chrome extension are great and working well. This app on the contrary is just awful. It worked kinda ok until last update although it was glitchy. Now is completely unusable taking 2 minutes to unlock the vault and another 30 seconds just to bring up the search screen. Did you guys test it with more than a few passwords? |
| 2022-01-15 |  | | A major redesign is cool and all, but not migrating over all my old vaults into the new design is just an awful practice. Now im in the middle of trying to access my passwords and i cannot access them due to having to do the entire webdav setup again with a long password for multiple vaults. |
| 2021-11-02 |  | | This app needs a lot of work. A basic set of instructions on importing or creating a vault is crucial, but absent. Cannot even manage to create a vault in the app at all. I tried to load a vault through google drive. Nope. So, let us review... No instructions... No new vaults can be created... No way to import a local vault file... No help file, no pop up helpful tips... No workie too goodie. I am hopeful it will improve. The linux application does work well, though. |
| 2021-09-23 |  | | It's the perfect app/desktop setup for passwords! The last 2020 update doesn't let me use my dav setup at home sadly but downgrading to the version 1.5.0 works just fine with auto updates off. 4 stars because we'll for it to work well on Android you have to downgrade. Desktop works flawlessly though! |
| 2021-06-17 |  | | The experience sucks. I keep trying to create a vault and I select "authenticate" then nothing ever happens. I'm dead in the water at that point. This app works much better on my desktop. So far, its worthless on my Android phone. I hope they can release an update that fixes this. It might be nice to add some in-app help prompts to. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. But how would I know? |
