AxCrypt

This is not freeware. It is actually subscription based and not cheap for what it is. AxCrypt says “ Decrypting and viewing files is now free on all platforms, including mobile”. Apple AppStore description says it encrypts as well; there is no mention of a Pro version on the AppStore. See no reason to change review. The description is incomplete and misleading. Should say” these features are free on the iOS platform __”. “These features require a monthly subscription fee of__ for as long as you use the product, and may be subject to increases.” That would be an honest representation.

I’ve used the PC and iOS versions for several years. I’m very happy to see that iOS encryption is finally available, however it only encrypts files on Google Drive and Dropbox. I primarily use OneDrive, so an update to work with OneDrive and the iOS files app (which can access OneDrive) would earn the fifth star.

I have been using AxCrypt on my laptop, iPad and iPhone for several years. It works very well on all of them. I also like the password manager. Highly recommend AxCrypt Premium.

Very easy to use and works with my cloud storage.

Long ago axcrypt was my go-to for securing files. Not any more. The app is intentionally very limited and you must pay an ongoing subscription. YOU CANNOT ENCRYPT UNLESS YOU PAY A SUBSCRIPTION. Also they require your confirmed email even to use the tiny non-subscription portion of the app.

The major gripe I have with the app is that file names are truncated when in portrait (the only) view. I use yymmdd at the beginning of my working file names to be able to sort by prep date. That means pretty much all I can see of the file name is the date, leaving the subject unknowable. I’d like to be able to turn the phone to landscape view and see the entire file name.

Essential for encrypting files on the cloud and laptops. Easy right click menu. Inexpensive. Great customer service.

The description say it works in the iPhone EXCEPT that it cannot encrypt file!. What’s the point then? I can create/use various files on my phone but cannot encrypt them?? Or re-crypt them? I have to send them to my PC to encrypt and use them? That’s just stupid. Am I missing something?

The negative reviews are from uses trying this as a stand-alone app. It only works if you’ve paid for the premium desktop subscription. I have that and this works perfect with cloud stored encrypted documents. Just open them on the app to view them if you don’t have access to your desktop. It’s a double layer of security. If some hacks your cloud storage they can only download encrypted gibberish.

This app is for paid subscribers of AxCrypt to decrypt files on their mobile device. It does not yet encrypt on a mobile device. If you have the free version of XCrypt you can encrypt and decrypt your files on your desktop computer, without having to pay. Again, people need to read the notes...
