## Strongbox Reviews in United States

### ****- "Activism interest"
Came to the app to integrate with another database software on iOS. Have been happy with app features so far and really impressed with dev support for activist interests of their users. Hopeful that the free and paid versions continue to be accessible and useful!
-- Philotea, 2025-08-07

### *---- "Greedy Devs at work"
To preface, I have never written a review before. The developers of this app did something so egregious that I decided I had to write a review.

This app used to be really nice. I could save all my passwords in one place, and still use autofill from other apps. Originally, getting the “Pro” features only cost $40. This included being able to use FaceID to unlock the app, being able to download favicons, and a few other features that I didn’t really care about. I bought it back then, and then I realized that was stupid. I should just type in my password, using faceID wasn’t worth $40. So I refunded it. But lo and behold! I kept the features! For 2 years I still had the premium features! It was so nice! 

Then recently, when I opened the app again, I was met with a pop up. It basically said “hi user! You know those features you had? Well we took them away. And now, to get them back, it’s gonna cost only $30… PER MONTH!” 

There is literally nothing in this app that deserves a monthly subscription. The only things that could possibly warrant monthly subscriptions are cloud-based features, or anything that requires the app to use a service requiring a monthly subscription. It has none of these things. Now let’s just say it did have one of those things. In what world would it require enough subscriptions to total to $30/month?? That is just greed from the devs.

Don’t get this app. The Apple Passwords app has all of the important features this app had, but it doesn’t bleed your bank account.
-- Zzzzzzzz1834, 2025-07-29

### ***** "Love this app"
Been using the free version for a bit now. Upgrading to the full version for the plethora of features. Highly recommend over keeping passwords in a notes app
-- cmarq17, 2025-07-11

### ****- "Careful, AppLause"
Twice now I’ve opened the app to find it asking me for a subscription again, despite lifetime purchase. So far “restore purchases” has worked. But that never, ever happened under Mark. 

One star down for now and it has me looking for alternatives. But Mark made such a great app, it still is better than any other. 

Please, please AppLause, don’t squeeze it to death.
-- Car Analogy, 2025-07-08

### **--- "Facial recognition doesn't work to unlock for Apple Password functionality"
I have been using Strongbox free of charge for some time.  I purchased the lifetime subscription without first giving a trial a try.  I purchased the software in order to use facial recognition unlock especially for use with Apple Password functionality.  So, I was fooled.  Wasted money on the lifetime subscription.
-- Newyork10023, 2025-07-05

### ***** "Love Strongbox"
Strongbox has a great feature set and syncs really well with my cloud storage. Looking forward to an Android release one day
-- sameerbajaj24, 2025-06-04

### ***** "Hands down the absolute best KeePass app for iOS"
I’ve been using Strongbox for years and it’s simply better than any other app I’ve tried. The UI is easy to navigate and visually pleasing, they integrate iOS features very well and provide frequent updates. Lifetime subscription is definitely worth the price.
-- TumblrFeminist, 2025-05-31

### ***** "Great app"
Really does everything you could want from an iOS password manager. Great for those using keepass on desktop.
-- vectrovectro, 2025-05-27

### *---- "What a piece of trash!"
Been using this app for a while, then all of a sudden I cannot open my password file because they have decided to start charging yearly if you are required to use a Yubi Key to open your DB! No notice, no nothing. Never gonna happen!
-- Bkomanet, 2025-05-25

### ***** "Not sure what I’d use without it"
I’ve been using Strongbox for five years and KeePass database for over ten years. Not sure what I would do without it. My main database is on iCloud  for shared access by my iPhone, iPad and Mac all running Strongbox. (Apple re-encrypts the database on iCloud for increased security).  Each device has a local backup copy and the Mac has a backup to a disk.  Strongbox offers great password creation, pass phrase creation and now pass keys.  The latest feature to optionally audit the database for exposed data provides extra sense of security. Strongbox makes it easy to store URLs, Pins and notes for security questions to allow quick and easy access to logins. I strongly recommend Strongbox.
-- Hindzey2, 2025-05-22

### *---- "Updated - trust issues"
Update: so the developer, mark, lied about being open source… a pw manager is all about trust. 0* if I could.

Old review - Free user here; this is the best keepass app hands down. 

Only peeve I have is the placement of the “Upgrade” button. I wish it was tucked in the settings area.

Nonetheless, thank you for the free option!
-- Nearer, 2025-05-20

### ***** "Excellent integration with open-source KeePass"
This app is the go-to on Apple devices to transform an offline KeePass database into a usable one across all Apple devices
-- donnycharge, 2025-05-20

### *---- "Steer clear"
Been a huge fan of strongbox for years and years, unfortunately the company got bought out by a company known for destroying good software (applause). Now there are tons of Reddit posts of this software sending data all over the place (not good for a password manager). People contacting support are getting no response. Strongbox, to this day, has not had its source code audited by a 3rd party. Now there is even speculation that a rug pull, burning those who bought a “lifetime” license, is imminent. I would run from this app, as far and as far as you can. Applause ruins everything they touch, maybe Broadcom will buy them soon.
-- inthepretendworld, 2025-05-17

### ***** "最好的iOS密码管理器"
如题
-- kipjaychou, 2025-05-06

### ***** "Excellent password manager"
My goto password manager in ios and Mac for years! I love that it can sync between Mac and windows when same keepass database is used.
-- CanadianThor, 2025-04-30

### ***** "The app is pretty cool"
The best option on Apple
-- Cunytable15, 2025-04-13

### ***** "Amazing"
Can’t say enough good things about this.
-- xactscience, 2025-04-06

### *---- "Very limited with Yubikeys and NOT a free trial!"
I was trying to find a KEEPASS compatible password safe, however my password safes are all protected with Yubikeys.  I found this did not work well with Stongbox.  It would not recognize the USB-C key or NFC on my iPad Air 4.  To make matters worse, I signed up for the 3 month trial of PRO and my Credit card was immediately charged $21.29 which I am disputing now.  Its not a 3 month free trial if you start charging immediately! Moving on to the next password manager.
-- DeanWesterburg, 2025-04-03

### ****- "Waiting to see what happens."
I’ve been very happy with the app. I hope the new group can be as good at developing the app as Mark was.
-- Roi-Namur, 2025-04-03

### *---- "Sold to a questionable company"
Edit: The app was sold to a company with a questionable reputation. Can no longer recommend considering the amount of trust required for a password manager.

This is probably the best password manager for Apple hardware. It behaves like you expect it to, respecting platform UI guidelines while still allowing deep customization if you need it. The macOS app was a little lacking at first, but now it feels like a first-class citizen on Mac. The developers are professional and genuinely listen to feedback, which is refreshing compared to many others. If you're looking for a password manager for the Apple ecosystem without vendor lock-in, Electron apps, and other usual large company shenanigans, this is the best choice.
