Who it's for
RoboForm is for users who prioritize a long-standing, reliable password manager, especially those primarily using Windows PCs and desktop browsers R3R6R46. It's suitable for individuals who need to store a wide variety of sensitive information securely R9R44R48. It is NOT for users who rely heavily on iOS devices (iPhones, iPads) for password management, as recent reviews indicate significant functionality and stability issues on these platforms R79.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly concerning iOS performance and syncing issues, directly contradicting the developer's notes about 'stability updates' and 'bug fixes'. While the lifetime rating is high, the recent sentiment suggests a significant decline in user experience for mobile users.

- [R3] Holds My LIFE Together!: i’ve been using Robo Form for…more than 20 years now. It’s become absolutely essential to functioning on a daily basis, if I have anything to do with computers or technology or my smart phone or logging into anything anywhere. Which is pretty much every day in the modern world. The only reason I don’t give Roboform 5 stars overall is because they were slow to adapt to the
- [R6] Great Password Manager: I’ve been using Roboform for about twenty years and it has securely managed my passwords on my phones and computers. Than you Roboform
- [R7] President 9 Figure Company LLC: I have been using RoboForm since 1999 when it first came out and I am 1000% convinced that is the best program for protecting your passwords for your whole company
- [R8] Roboform Amazing!!!: One of the most stable amazing products ever created for a computer!!! Have used it for over 20 years and it is spectacular!! Best app ever!!
- [R1] Great tool: I love how safe this makes my information and how easy it is to use.
- [R9] Great Time Saver: I’ve used this app for years. I only have to remember one password and I can have a unique, extremely hard, password for every login. Roboform makes security and form filling easy. I also make extensive use of the safenotes feature to record sensitive information behind a secure password. Great product. Occasionally
- [R24] Makes Life Simpler: I love RoboForm. It makes my life much easier and I don’t have to remember my period passwords. The only thing I would love help with is form filling. I don’t think RoboForm is very good in our regards so I could stand some improvement. All in all I like it very much.
- [R49] RoboForm: Made my life much easier. Too many passwords to remember, and RoboForm gets you to all your accounts fast & easy. Would highly recommend .
- [R2] Best Password Mgr EVER: Works across all my devices AND is a place I can manually find all my PWs and IDs
- [R44] So Thankful!: I have used RoboForm for years and have been saved innumerable times. I save many different types of information in the app and am able to pull it up on all my devices. Many people I come in contact with struggle with keeping track of passwords and other personal information. I always recommend RoboForm. I’m so thankful for this password saving app. It saves me time and headaches nea
- [R16] Long-time Customer!: I’ve been using RF on my phone & laptop for a decade! I remain 100% pleased!
- [R48] Just works: Had RF for years. Never have a glitch. The company is based in Virginia, USA! Not a foreign country. It had the option of using a mouse on a virtual keyboard when entering the master password making it harder for keyloggers. Easy to create, store and retrieve logins and other personal data like credit card numbers and even drivers license data. It doesn’t always fill every field in an
- [R36] 9.9.1 problem: With the 9.9.1 update the app opens to a blank screen and nothing else.
- [R72] Won’t open: I’ve been a subscriber for a long time and a user even longer. The issue with it getting stuck since ios 26 hasn’t been fixed like the developer says. I thought the whole subscription model was so that we would get frequent updates and fixes. Time to entertain another app. Plenty of options now.
- [R74] The stuck at loading screen issue has not been resolved: The claim that the stuck at loading screen issue has been resolved with a hotfix is not true. The problem is still there. Please fix this soon.
- [R77] Still stuck at loading screen: Just updated today on October 10th with latest update aka the app keeps getting stuck on loading screen. Very frustrated and waste of money.
- [R10] Confusing: App turned on everything a go. And it doesn’t record or even ask if you need it updated or changed. Very frustrating
- [R22] “Not as good as I’d hoped”: Does not automatically send me to selected website. I frequently have to look up the password myself. Also inconsistent with saving updated passwords. Sometimes asks if I want to save it and sometimes does not. Also, not easy to manually update passwords myself when I want to edit or change it. All in all, disappointing.
- [R27] New user: Could be better if autofill
- [R45] Does not work properly: I’ve had RoboForm for a long time and just recently it quit filling login fields. I can still access the login information but I have to enter it manually. Very frustrating!
- [R47] Worthless: Doesn’t reliably sync across devices
- [R51] PC and Phone do not sync: i’m having major issues with this app for some reason when I log into something and save the password on my PC it doesn’t sync to my phone or if it does, it’ll take hours or a day so when I go to an app assuming that it has the correct updated login, it gives me an error sometimes locks me out and then I have to change the password
- [R116] Not working on PC Browsers: RoboForm is not loading on any browser for Windows 11 PC. Still running on my iPhone but will not cross platforms.
- [R168] Liked the previous version better.: Have used Roboform for years on computer and tablets. Since the last upgrade of Roboform on my iPad2, the app does not work as well. I can not get the app to sync with my computer, the home page is confusing, and it will not automatically fill in ID and passwords on many websites.
- [R11] Asked to add extensions: Didn’t say what extensions were or meant or if I should add them. Hard to use
- [R33] Not very intuitive: Need to really figure out how to work it but once you do it works well.
- [R39] Use: I am finding this difficult to use
- [R13] Too many glitches and false pws.: Customer service is nonexistent.
- [R57] Can’t figure out how to work it: Can’t get any help
- [R118] This app is the worst: No support, extremely difficult to use, no phone support. Use Google instead.
- [R122] Poor Customer Service Options: I just recently purchased a subscription for this app after considering switching from the password manager I have been using for 14 years. I need help changing a set up option I chose when first using the app and am unable to find the answer. I have additional questions as well. The app states a chat option is available with a callback function and I have tried t
- [R17] Nice password manager except: I’ve been using RoboForm for at least twenty years and it’s been good to me. The only beef I have is the app doesn’t remember search settings from a previous use. For example, when searching Safenotes, I have so many I like to search alphabetically. When I select that option it doesn’t remember it for the next app usage. Drives me crazy to have to select the option
- [R35] Not the same as PC version: You still can’t Add a field on the IOS version. If you want to add a password or a Userid you have to use the PC version or create a new login which is an inconvenience if you’re not near your computer screen . Sure wish you could got this option added It’s been awhile since I posted this review and the option to save the login on the IOS still doesn’t exist. It wo
- [R52] Works differently on different platforms: It works OK in the MS Windows operating systems, requires a bit of manual searching for logins on some sites. It works a little bit better on iOS, but still occasionally needs the user to manually search for logins. Wish there was a way to change the default sort to A-Z, instead of “most recent”
- [R66] Love it, but needs work: It drives me crazy that the app doesn't save how you want things to be sorted, in my case A-to-Z. Every time I open it up it doesn't save the sorting that I chose last time. This is important because it doesn't always recognize an app associated with a website, or a website so you have to go in and manually copy and paste.
- [R143] Goodapp but annoying because of this: It stinks because you gotta reenter the master password whenever you gotta use roboform
- [R228] Temperamental: Frequently, it will not accept my facial recognition and I waste time trying again and finally having to enter my code.
- [R236] PIN code not working on iPad!: Why is it that the new update of this password software does not allow for pin code entry? I’m kind of sick to death of having to type in my monster Long master password just to get into this thing when it’s already on my iPad and already secured by my passcode to get into my iPad. Any help would be appreciated.
- [R257] IOS implementation poor: Face ID simply is not reliable enough to depend upon. Recent app uodayes seem to have made everything worse!!
- [R15] ROBO VS. 1PASSWORD: I’ve used RoboForm for years. People keep telling me that one passWORD is better. It happens so often I finally thought I would switch over. I started my membership but still kept my RoboFORM. ROBOform is much better more convenient and accessible. The only thing that I wish is that it was just as easy to use on my iPad and phone as it is on my computer.
- [R46] Platform support: I like using RoboForm on my Windows devices. I would prefer limiting reliance on internet access. My browser pops up to “unlock” RoboForm. I would like to see RoboForm given the same functionality provided for Windows operating system applied to Apple devices.
- [R79] Was perfect for over 10 years: Stalls at loading screen and loads either extremely slowly or not at all on iPhone 16 pro max. Over the last few weeks has become almost useless on that device. Works fine on my PC, except if the loading screen is stalled on my iPhone, in which case it will ALSO stall on my PC until I kill the iPhone app. On latest IOS 18.7.1.
- [R81] App Broken on iOS 26 😩: Since updating to iOS 26, the app has completely stopped working. I reached out to support, but I still haven’t been able to retrieve my information. Frustrating, as I rely on this app daily. Hoping for a fix soon. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
