It's a sunk cost at this point, but owning 1password on 3 platforms is expensive. $70 for my laptop and desktop, and another $18 for my phone. But I bought into it because the Mac version is great and I was primarily a Mac user at the time. Oh well.
Yeah, it's pricey, but in the end I think it's worth the aggravation and time it saves me.
The notification says it's synchronizing with my chosen cloud provider, maybe it doesn't want to get inadvertently killed during that process. Okay, fair enough. But can't the notification be removed after it's done? (An honest, if rhetorical question; don't know enough about Android to say for sure.) I have enough special snowflake apps sticking their crap in the notification bar, one less would be nice.
You are not alone in requesting less clutter in the notification drawer. This is a popular request that we have received from a number of our customers.
We pride ourselves in considering all feedback from our customers and I'm happy to say that we've made improvements in this area. In our upcoming 4.1 update, successful sync notifications will be automatically cleared from the notification drawer.
We are planning to release the 4.1 update on August 19th. Feel free to read our blog post for additional details: http://blog.agilebits.com/2014/07/26/1password-4-for-android...
I'm using it on Linux (under Wine) and works well. The Chrome extension is a lot better.
Agreed. The v4 Windows client is much, much better than the old v3 - and finally allows you to use the same Chrome extension. I previously had to run two versions of the extension (and all the frustration that brings) if I wanted to use 1Password on my Windows installs.
It has desktop app, a browser extension as well as android and iOS apps.
I'd been dual-booting OS X / Windows on my desktop already because Apple's GPU drivers are garbage, so it wasn't a huge step. Dropping OS X completely was mostly based on being a game dev hobbyist who's doing a lot of 3D work and digital painting. OS X had turned into a web browsing and email platform for me, and I can do that just as well elsewhere.
The experience with 1password is far from unusual though; Windows doesn't have a lot of developers making software of any quality. For every Mac program I try to find a substitute for, Windows has 30 different options that are all equally bad (looking at you, IRC clients that aren't Colloquy). So if you rely on a lot of little 3rd party software, it's not a good ecosystem. But if all you need is Firefox, blender, Unreal Engine, and Substance Designer, it's not a problem.
And that's not even mentioning the price of a Mac with an upgradable GPU. I could do yearly GPU upgrades on my desktop and still be cheaper than a baseline Mac Pro.
