  7. [R33] Dashlane Password Manager 5/5 · US Does exactly what it's supposed to do: Works great with Mac Book Pro, iPhone...just got iPad and expect the same.

  10. [R8] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB Doesnt work in airplane mode: This app doesnt work offline or in airplane mode. I dont have 2FA enabled.

  11. [R18] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB Not Working: App stopped working for the past few days Took my subscription payment and still displaying “Renew Plan” even after I’ve paid and subscribed. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling several times but still stuck at “Upgrading to Premuim” for days!
  12. [R20] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB SWITCHED TO KEEPER!: I don’t usually write reviews but I had to for this as it’s important who you put trust when it comes to accessing the whole digital world. After being a loyal customer for over 5 years. My renewal was not working after paying £33. Tried to renew again with the increased prices now starting at £60 and still nothing. Now I have to wait up to 30 days to get £90 back and couldn’t
  13. [R3] Dashlane Password Manager 3/5 · GB best yet: getting expensive
  14. [R10] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB Bait and Switch: Offered a free version to drawer customers in, then they began emailing to say if you don’t pay your account will be limited to 25 passwords, next it was that the account will be changed to read only, annoying but at least my passwords were saved, now they are emailing to say if you don’t pay they will delete the account and all passwords.
  15. [R16] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB Ruined it: Been using Dashlane for years and it’s been a great app for storing my passwords but over the last year they’ve completely ruined the experience by shrinking down the limit on free passwords from 100 to 50 and the to 25 and now even worse they’ve discontinued their free version so unless you have a lot of money in this modern day to want to go out and pay for it don’t use Dashlane go us
  16. [R26] Dashlane Password Manager 5/5 · US I’m happy but...: I’m very happy using Dashlane - I wish I could afford to buy the premium package, but on a fixed income, I can’t. I’m concerned that I just received an e-mail ostensibly from Dashlane telling me that I have 30 days to renew my premium account. Since I never signed up for a premium account, I can only assume that this e-mail was a phishing attempt, & I’m ignoring it.
  17. [R1] Dashlane Password Manager 2/5 · US Ten year paying customer soon to be cut off?: I’ve been a pro level or higher customer for at least ten years. Dashlane has been our family’s favorite password management system throughout that time. However! I just renewed for a year only to find Dashlane will no longer support my Apple devices pre iOS 18!? I have two 2018 iPads that still serve us well. We can’t afford to buy new ones! I was jus
  18. [R6] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · GB Withdrawal of support: App no longer works on my iPad- the only app that has decided my iPad is too old to be worthy of support. Other devices are ok. Very disappointing and will likely not renew
  19. [R7] Dashlane Password Manager 5/5 · US Great help: I love the help the program is great
  20. [R75] RoboForm Password Manager 3/5 · US 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.
  21. [R96] RoboForm Password Manager 3/5 · US Works great on a windows device!: Works great on a windows device, not so much here in apple land
  22. [R99] RoboForm Password Manager 3/5 · GB IOS implementation poor: Face ID simply is not reliable enough to depend upon. Recent app uodayes seem to have made everything worse!!
  23. [R105] RoboForm Password Manager 3/5 · GB RoboForm: Been using it for years and it’s great on multiple desk tops. Not so functional on apple phones or iPads
  24. [R4] Dashlane Password Manager 1/5 · US Master Password Issue: It’s great until you get logged out and can’t remember your password to get back in and there is zero options for resetting your password. Incredibly frustrating to lose all of my data.
