I fully agree with previous reviewers, the app is great although the INTERFACE is kind of surprising and disturbing.
Examples:
- the user discovers how to enter a password (including the one generated with the tool provided) only when, after having tried everything, decides to give up and quits the app: this is when the "enter password" dialogue shows up!
- now a new, cryptic, mention appears in red when I open the app from my own corresponding Pastor document: "This is a beta release of Pastor! Use it with a copy of your Pastor Document only!". I'm the only user of the app, and there is only one Document attached, did I do something wrong?
This somehow "impredictable" behavior has prompted me to create somewhere else a (encrypted) backup file with my data: you never know .... Next time, I may end up asking myself why to use Pastor in the first place....
I wish the developer will keep in mind that TRUST and PREDICTABILITY is good for all apps, but absolutely fundamental for THIS category of apps! You don't lock a door if you have doubts about what it will happen next time you want to open it!
Pastor
stores passwords, logins, serials, registrations, etc.
Version: 1.8.1
Great App, but .....

... not your comment. - markus767
Sorry, but you just did not understand the concept of what a document based application is: open an app, create a document and save it. That's the way Pastor works (and 99% of all applications out there).So it's normal that Pastor reminds you to assign a password to a newly created file that the user forgot to save.
Beside of that you maybe do not know what a Beta Version is. I think it's more than nice if an application reminds you to pay extra attention to that fact.
If you have feature requests or need help why not email the author? It's only two clicks away within the application.
