'App Santa' Brings Discounts of Up to 60% on 15 Top iOS Apps

[hch3psa]

Broke down and bought Delivery Status since Posted has not been updated and has started to run funky and the dev of that app stopped replying to people.

Will enjoy having to only type deliveries in only one place and sync w/ the other / mac and iPhone.

You won't regret it! I was using Posted as well and once I noticed the slow decline I dropped the $4.99 for Delivery Status, I'm so glad I did. The lastest iOS 7 update has been great. Being able to add a package from my iPad, iPhone or Mac has been awesome. I also like how they all sync together so well. For this discounted price seems like an obvious pick up.

I've been debating on 1password and perfect weather myself. Might just splurge on them.

Where's the family plan for 1 Password?

Family Plan link for Mac. 5 users $48.99. Do not think they have family plan for IOS. Bet your looking for IOS.

 

[jclardy]

To those looking at buying some of these: Paypal has $25 iTunes GC's for $20, so you can get an even better deal.

Unfortunately I found this after I bought Screens and Scanner Pro. I own nearly all the other apps.

Hi,

I brought the 1 Password family pack, but didn't realize it only works with OSX 10.8 or later, my whole family is on 10.7.5 and don't plan to update for a little longer.

How long will my license for 1PW 4 be good for?

Can I use 1PW 3 for now and upgrade to 4 when we upgrade to OSX 10.8 later?

Thanks,

Family License Cost

Best use, ya, probably worth it.

The goal is to set strong unique passwords up for your sites. So, if you don't have it on the other devices you use it can be a bit tricky to get into sites without typing in a 30 character long password.

I used 1Password for about 2 years prior to getting a job working with the team at AgileBits. So, when I say this I say it as a user of the software just as much as a member of the company. It's totally worth it.

Every time some site says they get compromised and I'm a user, I just go and change that one site's password (such as MacRumors here when they had their account information stolen). All my other sites used different passwords so I only ever changed that one password, not the hundreds of others I have.

If you have questions please let me know though! I'll be happy to help however I can.

If I purchase the Mac app on iTunes, how much will the family license upgrade cost or can you purchase the family license on iTunes?

 

[AGKyle]

your website says that you have 30 days money back guarantee. does this apply to both the ios and the desktop versions and how do you actually do it if people buy from the app store?

We have a few ways of handling this. You can of course ask Apple for a refund this is the first way you'll handle it. They're often fine with this if you don't abuse it. Otherwise we'll find a way to make sure you're taken care of. If you want more details please let me know via PM and I can let you know more. It's a person by person basis for how it is often handled simply because of location and what makes the customer happy.

1Password is flat-out awesome. I was skeptical, but after the MacRumors 'incident', I decided to give it a shot with the free demo.

I love it! I now own both the iOS and OS X versions.



By all means update the keyboard and the list view, but for the love of god, keep the vault theme! There's absolutely no need to go all-out against skeuomorphism. A little skeuomorphism is OKAY, mmkay?

We'll be doing our best to fit in with the rest of iOS 7, a few people have seen the beta and seem to really like it. Stay tuned though

Glad to hear you're enjoying 1Password, it's always amazing to hear that others are enjoying it. So, thank you for passing that message along, I'm going to paste it into the company chat so they can see too!

Where's the family plan for 1 Password?

Family pack is only available on our website: http://www.agilebits.com/store/

A MAS purchase is kind of like a Family pack if all computers use the same AppleID for purchases. Apple's terms state you can install it on as many computers as you own for personal use so long as they use the same AppleID. If they don't use the same AppleID, you'll need to buy multiple copies from the MAS or purchase the family pack from our website. Our license has a bit more flexibility due to not being tied to the AppleID.

Thanks,

If you PM me your email that you used for purchase I can look it up and make sure you also received a 1Password 3 license. This would let you use 1Password 3 on computers that weren't on 10.8+, then when you upgrade OS X you can install 1Password 4 as well. If you want to go that route of course. If that doesn't work for you I can refund the purchase.

If I purchase the Mac app on iTunes, how much will the family license upgrade cost or can you purchase the family license on iTunes?

The Mac App Store version lets you kinda sorta have a family pack. The kicker is that all computers have to use the same AppleID in order to install it. Apple's terms state you can install the Mac App Store version on any personal computers that are yours that use the same AppleID.

If you do not use the same AppleID on all computers you will need to either purchase separate copies from the Mac App Store or purchase the family pack from our website: http://www.agilebits.com/store/

Do note that a Family Pack is for 5 users. We license based on the number of users, not the number of computers. If you are the only user then a single license would let you install on any number of personal computers in which you are the only user. Every user needs their own license.

iOS is treated the same as Mac App Store. Can be installed on multiple devices, so long as they use the same AppleID. Each device that does not use the same AppleID needs to purchase separately.

If you're like me this is no big deal, all of my computers use the same AppleID for purchases and each user has their own iCloud account for iCloud. You can use separate AppleIDs for MAS/App Store purchases and iCloud.

I share my AppleID for purchases with the family and they each have their own iCloud account for mail, contacts, etc.

Hope that helps

Bear in mind that Screens will charge you per every major iOS release.

Kyle -

Question: I have eWallet on Mac and iOS. Can I import all my data to 1Password from eWallet?

Also, does 1Password sync via iCloud or manually? Thanks!

And comment on Fantastical 2, which I think should be on this list and is also discounted briefly - I've used Fantastical for years and upgraded willingly to the "2" version ever since iOS7 came out. I wish they had the iPad version up and running. I love this app. It does all the stock calendar does (except having the date in the icon - forbidden by Apple) and then some. It works seamlessly and is - above all - easy to read!

app santa, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly apps

it's just not the same

<snip>

I'm not all that familiar with eWallet so I can't truly answer your question with 100% certainty. But, I'll give it a broad overview from an import perspective.

There are two ways to get your data into 1Password.

1. Import
2. Manually move things over

We provide import functionality for CSV, LastPass and SplashID. More will arrive as we continue but for now, those are the three third party import options.

CSV lets you import Logins, OR Credit Cards, OR Software Licenses, OR Secure Notes.

So, if you have a CSV file, and it contains a mix of all of those, you'll need to split it up and have a file with only Login items, or Credit Cards or Software Licenses or Secure Notes. Then import each of the four separately.

CSV is rather rigid and we follow the standard pretty close.

If eWallet lets you export your items as CSV then you can probably attempt to import via CSV.

The second import option is to do so manually and this is my favorite method because it lets you take stock in what you have and adopt a the 1Password way of handling things. Every password manager does their own thing with how to best organize your data. Importing from another password manager may or may not really be best. Depending on your situation you may want to do this option.

I did this option and was very happy with the results. Way back when I used Wallet (now defunct) and moved over to 1Password in the middle of 1Password 2. I started by using the 1Password browser extension to save my logins for each of my most popular sites. This took about 30 minutes and I had my 20 or 30 most used sites all entered in and organized with Tags and Folders and even began a few important Smart Folders.

Then I saved the remaining items as needed. If I went to a site and it wasn't already saved I just copy and pasted from Wallet into the website and let 1Password auto-save it for me. After about 2-3 weeks I had everything saved in 1Password and everything was updated to work perfectly with 1Password.

Benefits here are:

1. Adopting the 1Password way of organization
2. Understanding how 1Password works
3. Removing excess and no longer valid items
4. Perhaps even updating weak passwords to strong passwords along the way

Cons:

It takes a little longer

I hope that helps answer your questions though

Kyle, the app store has 1Password as $34.99. Is that the 30% discounted price?

 

[razmanugget]

This is starting to sound like a 1passworld love-fest and I'd like to weigh in on the other side.

I've been a long-time user of 1password v3 for the mac for many years. It's awesome. However, it is really difficult to migrate your passwords over from the desktop app to the iOS app. I tried several times and failed.

I made it work with an old iPhone version of 1password, but the newer version 4 for iOS was a complete waste of my money and about 6 hrs of my life. Buyer beware.

raz

About me - I am the tech person in my family, am comfortable with Obj-C, and know my way around terminal making use of sudo commands. It's pretty rare for me to not figure out software, but the 1password app has me flummoxed.

 

[Arelunde]

Thanks Kyle!

You thoroughly answered the 1Password migration situation. But you didn't say how 1Password syncs (or IF it does) between devices ... Mac to iOS and/or multiple iDevices.

From what the above poster mentioned, it doesn't sound as if total sync is done through iCloud.

 

[Navdakilla]

Time to put 1Password on the iPhone. Have it on all my Mac's, so why not.

I just paid 17.99 for it last week. ughhh
Amazing app though, worth the 18$ for me anyways

 

[Parasprite]

There you go

We also have the Mac application on a promotion right now for anyone who doesn't already have it. Part of our "holy cow, we just won a Macworld Eddy award and a Mac App Store Best of 2013 promotion."

I'll try to monitor this thread for any questions but if I don't respond today please send a PM and I'll get to you.

Hey Kyle, can I suggest something?

You should get them to differentiate (or merge) the Chrome 1Password extensions in the web store. As of now there is a V3, a V4, and a beta. However, it isn't immediately obvious which one to install (I obviously figured it out). It would probably cut down on the confusion and need for customer support (and reduce the chance of someone succeeding at releasing a fake/malicious 1Password extension).

 

[AGKyle]

Kyle, the app store has 1Password as $34.99. Is that the 30% discounted price?

Yup, when an app goes on sale on the App Stores the seller can state they put it on sale, but the price you see listed is the sale price. There's no "List Price" and "Sale Price." So anytime a seller states they have put an application on sale, the price you see listed is the sale price.

In this case, the sale price is $34.99

Hope that helps!

Have you contacted our support? If not, we can often clear these up in a matter of a couple of emails. Often the work we ask you to do is in the order of a couple of minutes of time. More difficult situations may take a slightly longer amount but please contact us so we can help you get it all squared away.

You should _always_ try contacting support for any company whose product isn't working out for you. This doesn't just apply to 1Password, but any product. It's part of what you pay for when you purchase an app. If another seller does not provide support, that's a bad deal, we at AgileBits take support seriously and it's a bulk of our staff. We're here to help you.

If you'd prefer not to email, please PM me instead.

Thanks Kyle!

Sorry about that!

We sync 3 possible ways:

* Dropbox
* iCloud
* Wifi - Local network wifi sync

On the Mac, you can also sync via a local folder on the computer. This does not sync to iOS though. Useful for network shares.

I just paid 17.99 for it last week. ughhh

Thanks for purchasing 1Password!

Please PM me your details so I can get this taken care of.

However, it isn't immediately obvious which one to install (I obviously figured it out). It would probably cut down on the confusion and need for customer support (and reduce the chance of someone succeeding at releasing a fake/malicious 1Password extension).

You can actually install the current extension by opening 1Password 4, clicking "1Password 4" in the menu bar area and choosing "Install Browser Extensions"

It'll take you to our extension page and allow you to install the appropriate extension for your installation. (v3, v4, and betas of each)

This is much easier than going to the Chrome Web Store and trying to navigate their site.

 

[ScousePete]

When did this turn into a 1password thread?

Tweetbot is great.

Yeah, Eh! Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you. Have had that kind of thing happen with other apps. Still some good app deals though. Delivery Status is a pretty good one as well, especially if you do a lot of online purchasing.

 

[amemoryoncelost]

picked up 1Password for iOS finally, been using it on the mac forever and no idea why I never tried the iOS version. After some sketchy stuff with my paypal account and backup email, I decided it was time for all new passwords, which meant iOS access as well. I was able to sync all my passwords over in a matter of seconds.
In other news, thinking about picking up tweetbot while it's on the cheap!

 

[araje]

I have been using 1password on my Mac and on my iPhone and iPad. Once you start using it and get amaZed by the solid protection it offers, you really cannot avoid the IOS versions. Yet entering that 15 character weird passwords that you are proud of with the IOS keyboard.
You will shift to 1pasword for your other devices right away.

Frankly speaking I thought that with mavericks my investment with 1pasword was a waste. But then after seeing what mavericks keychain can do, I feel No - 1password is still better.

 

[nburwell]

I just purchased Perfect Weather. Really digging the UI a lot. I deleted TWC Max since it was pretty much a pointless weather app for me. Perfect Weather seems like they got everything I'm looking for. The only downside is that it only looks like it includes North American cities.

 

[twinboys]

Kyle -

For clarification.

I have an iMac with 4 user accounts and each have their own AppleID. I would like to purchase the family plan but I’m confused on the pricing structure during the current special. Agile Store list a Single User License $34.99 (regular $49.99) and the Family License $48.99 ($69.99). The App Store currently list a Single user license as $9.99 (special price) .

Is there an App Santa special that will give me a larger discount for the Family license as it did for the Single User license? Thanks

Twinboys

 

[newtonick]

App Santa is a little cross eyed. Deals so good you can't see straight ... or not.

 

[JackieInCo]

Then you don't have any good software installed on your device. These are the best Quality Apps on the Store.

I have all the apps that interest me on my iPad/iPhone already. I used to buy an app just because it looked useful and then never touched it after installing.

The only app that looks useful to me up there is Tweetbot but I already am using the most up to date old version.

I also have about four other weather apps, no need for a fifth.

To say that people don't have any useful apps on their device if we are not interested in the ones above is nonsense.

Oh the Day One app, I got it for free already last summer along with several others that Apple had put on sale for one week and have never touched it since then. I just downloaded it because it was free. I should delete it.

 

[class77]

Kyle, I am running Snow Leopard on my iMac and iOS 7 on my iOS devices. Will this cause a problem in 1 Password. Which of these are best to set up first, iOS or Mac?
