Virtru Email Protection

This app is always buggy and never refreshed properly. I really want to use this app on my phone, but it never seems to want to work easily.

Basically it’s great for a quick email and an attachment or two. It has a LOT of potential, but the fatal problems get very frustrating: 1) Deletes drafts, never saves. You get a call in the middle of composing? Everything you wrote will be irretrievably deleted. 2) Image handling is insane. For a product that most likely will be attaching things like scanned documents, you must choose each page, one at a time, from only a tiny thumbnail. Nearly impossible to be accurate after attaching a few. You could try making those images into a PDF but then Virtru wont let you attach it. There’s also no “send to” feature, which would be a great workaround. 3) There’s some sort of bug where the keyboard frequently starts blocking what you are writing and you can’t see what you have written. Workarounds: 1) Compose in Notes then copy over the text. 2) Haven’t found a workaround for multiple images except prayer. Maybe a third party app that creates and saves PDF to one of the locations you can browse to. I hate to give this app such a low rating because when it does work it can be awesome. But a lot of these problems seem like rookie coding errors and hopefully they can improve this stuff soon. I hate to say it because subscriptions seem like such a scam, but I’d be willing to pitch in a buck a month just to have this app on my phone for when I need it, and would wholeheartedly recommend it to others. But these problems need to be addressed before I’d even consider that. Right now not a lot of confidence in the program, kind of like reading a book with a lot of obvious typos.

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years now. I don’t use it regularly, but I do use it. I’ve never had any issues up until a month or so ago, when I sent 2 emails, both on my iPhone, at different times and on different weeks. The emails just vanished. The recipient never got it, it was not in my sent folder, draft folder or anywhere. Which was concerning and quite a pain. Other than these recent issues it has been great. I would have given it 5 stars if it weren’t for the recent issues. Still very good app!
