Update 5.2 integrity

Is Version 5.2 legitimate? The copy (the description regarding the update in the App Store) is so ridiculous and riddled with made-up words that I am concerned about it's integrity. While I can see taking such creative license with a gaming app or something geared towards children I am concerned to see this absurd treatment for conveying information about an app designed for the security of one's passwords. I am not humorless but am so surprised to see this kind of copy that my first thought is that it must be a mistake or have been hacked by a malicious party. Can anyone verify that this is legitimate? If so, please rethink your copy writing.

    AgileBits has always had rather droll copy in their release notes.

    What can we say, humour is subjective. While we are aware it hasn't appealed to everyone, we've also received a lot of positive comments towards it too. As it stands the fans of our style seem to outnumber the those less enamoured with it by quite a margin. We like to believe that we can be fun while taking your (and our) security seriously and that they don't have to be exclusive.

    The update is genuine and contains a few nice improvements too.

    Thank you for your response. While I was unprepared for it I can appreciate droll copy. That said, sentences like: "Such new password editor design, much new pretty, very password. Wow." serves only to erode confidence. Playing with pidgin in this context seems mocking and glib.

    I use your product on both desktop and mobile as well as recommended it to my customers. I would like to continue to do so and only took the time to provide this feedback because I was taken aback.

    Hi @Hikerob , I hope our sense of humour doesn't put you off. Instead I simply hope you find the improvements and additional features useful :smile:

    In 1Password 5.2 for iOS my favourite feature by far is Wi-Fi Sync support for secondary vaults. I know lots of users have been waiting for TOTP support and I've heard a lot of positive feedback regarding our redesigned Login item creator.

    You can probably tell I didn't write the copy. Quite frankly mine would probably be pretty dull to read.
