★★★★★
Absolutely awesome! Much respect to the devs for open-sourcing the light version. After granting permission to external storage the app freezes. Kept searching for the manual unmount option until I accidentally discovered that tapping the shield icon next to the container name will do the unmounting.
★★★★★
works great but crashes after 20-30mins when doing lots of writes or changes to a 50gb+ store. also doesn't seem to have NTFS access which would be ideal for external drives (usb) otherwise I have to format external USB as ExFat or Fat32 and ExFat easily corrupts with windows 10.
★★★★★
This is a great app for people using VeraCrypt or TrueCrypt and the new user interface is nice. My one recommendation would be to have the full screen menu bar, when looking at images, be transparent like it was in version 1.x or have an option for that under settings. The current 2.x menu bar blocks part of the image until it auto-hides but feels far more intrusive then the old menu bar.
★★☆☆☆
Creates volumes and mounts them, but doesn't say where in the file system they are mounted. No apparent way to add files, other than in app you can create an empty text file. Frequently trying to read clipboard for some reason, even though I am not attempting to paste anything.
★★☆☆☆
I have absolutely no idea how to add files to a container. It's easy to create and open a container, but what next? Can I drag and drop files into it? How? (I have the paid version)
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work with VeraCrypt containers made by VeraCrypt under Linux. I've tried twice with Twofish+SHA-512+exFAT and Twofish+SHA-512+NTFS.
