App CrunchThe leading website in showcasing quality iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad apps

oneSafe is a universal app for iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad etc. It promises to keep your private information safe using 256 bit AES encryption. oneSafe is competing in an already overcrowded niche app market against some real heavyweights such as 1Password/LastPass/SplashID and many others etc.

When you first launch oneSafe you are offered to set up a pass code. I like how this is presented with various methods to choose from including a pin code to a unique swipe gesture. And if one method isn’t enough you can opt to have two login methods before anyone can get in.

Where oneSafe differentiates itself from its main competition is the inclusion of secure file storage for files, documents and photos.

One feature I wouldn’t use myself but could be useful to someone dealing with highly sensitive information is that after 3 failed login attempts you can have it ‘self destruct’ and delete all the info stored inside. I wouldn’t recommend using this to most people as it would be all to easy for a mischievous or just nosey friend/partner or even the owner if you have fat fingers/forgetful memory etc but it is optional.

overall oneSafe is a fairly intuitive app. The user interface is well thought out and easy to use. It’s free too download but is limited to adding only 5 items. This should be enough to give it a spin and decide whether its worth the $5.99 price tag to unlock.

Where oneSafe falls short imo is the way everything is displayed as a card. This is fine for a few logins and the backgrounds are customisable but for anyone with a large amount of data being stored you could quite quickly find yourself rummaging for the details you want. I would like to see more customisable layout options in a future update to address this.

There is also no Mac/Windows client for syncing between while this may not be a deal breaker to some I couldn’t live without having full sync capabilities across all my devices in my workflow.

Final thoughts: oneSafe shows a lot of potential and offers a strong contender to many of the already established apps in the same market. As long as the developers are committed and keep plugging away with updates and improvements it could potentially dethrone the heavyweights. So if you’re in the market for a fully featured password manager, file storage etc then you should definitely download and try oneSafe for free.
