iAccounts Lite Password Manager - with free backup app App Reviews

41 add

Really good app! Proposals and questions ...

... recently compared several password apps and: "iAccounts" is my favorite. The app is definitely worth paying the full featured version. GUI, features, encryption and backup ... all is well done and - for my taste - comfortable and handy to use. I dont like the old fashioned or still rudimentary style of other password apps, but must not have it too colorful, overloaded and cluttered by ugly icons though. An improvement to "iAccounts" could be additional/special characters for password generator within the app. The according free program "iBackup" on the Mac (didnt try Win) is also nice, small, fast and well working - also Wi-Fi sync. A huge improvement would be the option of editing group entries and fields the same like on the mobile app. CSV-in and -out buttons are changed. Anyways, Id like to see you keeping the smart, elegant interface and the instant overview the 3-part GUI provides. An interesting question is the name "iBackup". Theres another program "iBackup" from grapefruit.ch existing for many years, well maintained and free for personal use. Who will keep the name for its app in future? Do you consider renaming the app to prevent from collision inside the app directory on a mac? Statements appreciated!

No sync without PC or Mac

iCloud sync required to sync iPhone-iPad

Ok App - Great Service

The best part of this app is the great service. This is going to be a great app but at present the desktop part is somewhat lacking if you like to imput data via keyboard. If you looking for a cheap password manager and dont mind inputing all your data via the iphone or itouch then this app is for you. In the end I went with SplashID which is way more costly but has the better desktop version for a total cost of around $30 whereas with iAccount you get a good password manager and desktop backup (no input ability....yet) for only $5.00 and excellent service for the product.... a good deal.

Excellent

Fast, simple and clever!

Almost There

I love the app and how it syncs but I was hoping I could maintain the data on the PC then sync. Why use the little iPhone PC if you could use the PC keyboard. Your syncing anyways.

Nice, very customizable

I needed this app to work. It does extremely well. Recommended.

desktop backup does NOT work & support email delivery fails

Im so glad I chose to trial out the free version first. Its just sad. After struggling for an hour trying to get this app to function with its complimentary desktop backup module. Dont bother clicking help on the mobile app, this just tells you to to to the developers website. From the developers website you can send an email to their "support team" however delivery of your email will eventually fail because the mailbox is not valid. Dont bother with the free app and DO NOT spend your money on the paid version. I ended up purchasing mSecure. CSV file imported flawlessly into their desktop app and took only seconds to then sync the desktop to the phone app. Beautiful. iPhone 3GS-32

BEST ONE! Tested many and this is it!

I have tested manny free apps for protecting password, website, credit cards etc.. etc... and this is the one. I will be buying the full verison after I done typing this. This app give a FREE desktop syn which you need, the other charge you $10.00 to $35.00 extra for it. This one is totally custiomizable, you can add fields, select from 250 pictures. For setting up the syn just go to the website and follow the easy instructions. I can not believe everything this app does. I tried all of the free and lite verison for this type of app, try this one, you will be HAPPY YOU DID! I know I am happy I did.

I agree with Apple, this is an essential app!

After trying this lite version of iAccounts, I knew immediately I wanted to buy the full version. It was a real time saver that all the info I had entered was easily backed up and I used restore on the full version to transfer it all rather than having to retype everything. Apple got it right when they named this an essential app. Its so easy to use and their backup program is easy to set up. Also, I like that all my private information is backed up only on my PC. Other apps that have online backup may be useful when youre away from home but the piece of mind knowing only I have access to this information is worth the small inconvenience. Buy the full version now before the price goes up (its a bargain compared to similar apps) and the backup program is free.

Most Excelent

Works for all my accounts. Very nice job I will upgrade. 

Eh

Cool-but Lite only lets you put in 10 items...lame. All in all pretty good. Im gonna search for some more good free ones, but I may be back. Apple should have included one... Grrrr

Love it!

Ive tried out multiple apps, but this one was the best BY FAR. Plus, the customer support team is awesome. =)

Pretty good

Ive researched various password storage apps and base on this lite version, the full version is probably the most balanced in terms of features and price in this category. I dont need a lot of bells and whistle like some of the more (much more) expensive apps, but I do need a desktop "companion" app that does more than just back up (some apps use a backup utility that saves the data only without UI)--iBackup is the free companion software for iAccounts, and it backs up wirelessly via wifi--awesome! However, you cannot edit your data on the desktop app; you could only do it on the iOS app and then sync it back to desktop, which is okay, because it is free, unlike Splash ID or iPassword that are outrageously expensive. At the time of this review, I was ready to purchase the full version (v.3), but apparently it is still in review, pending approval by Apple, so it is not available for purchase. I may end up getting DataTap instead, since it is more versatile than iAccounts, but at the same time more complex to configure.

Poor Customer Service

I had this program on my iphone and pc...worked great until my pc crashed and I had to reinstall the back up program. Now it does not even load. Emailed support, got an answer about installing Java which I already have. Lousy customer service.

Dont waste your money

Bought the item at a reduced rate when the developers claimed to be working on a major update to both iphone and ipad. Nothing has ever come of it one year later. Poor desktop application, poor ability to sync with iphone.

Not useful

What is the point of keeping passwords stored in an app if you have to copy and paste them and the app shows them in plain text? I want something more like keychain and this isnt it.

Wish it would work -

I downloaded three different "lite" - free apps to test and play with to see which version I wanted to invest my money in. I like the graphics, visual look and ease of information input in iAccounts the best... ONLY it crashes after a few minutes or after i put just one account in. It has never NOT crashed. I keep trying, but alas, no luck. Sorry Venticento Studios, I wish I could buy it but Im having no luck.

I couldnt save what I entered.

The save button seemed always unavailable for use. I was done but save option never lit up. Maybe I did something wrong but Im sorry, iPassword works much more intuitively . Uninstalled after 5 minutes.

"Send by E-Mail" button has a bug

I went to an account I had entered then pressed the "Send by E-Mail" button; then the screen blacked out, and then the home screen appeared. Airplane mode was on. This seems to be a very repeatable bug. Update: Also, no Mail accounts were defined. If a mail account is defined, the app starts an email.

Suggestion

Wonderful job. Two suggestions: 1. Add an amount database(just like date, text etc) with $ sign to enter cost of an item. 2. History of password database, like date created, last updated with an automatic time stamp to see when was the last time password was changed.
