I would like to share with Mac|Life readers my
experience with a password and data storage app that
is available for Mac and iOS devices. My Eyes Only
(MEO) from Software Ops has been my password and
gdwd#vwrudjh#dss#iru#derxw#whq#|hduv#dqg#kdv#shuiruphg#ľdzohvvo|1#L#kdyh#
recommended it to many friends, who have also had positive experiences
with it. My reason for this email is to recommend it to your readers because
it has not been reviewed in many years.
The user interface is very simple, synchronizing MEO apps on other Macs
and iOS devices and to Software Ops’ encrypted server. The data is stored on
your Mac and/or iPhone permanently, and is universally updated when
subscribing to MEO’s “syncryption” service.
In other words, make a change on one device and that change is
transmitted to all devices. There is no chance to lose one’s key information,
even if the parent company disappears (which is very unlikely). This app
does not suggest passwords, it merely stores user IDs and passwords, and

useful interface on all of your devices.

STEVEN B RAFFINThanks for the heads-up, Steven! To our knowledge, we’ve not covered My
Eyes Only before (at least in the last three to four years), but due to your
glowing recommendation we may have to pencil it in for a future review.Missing Linksys
I’ve just finished reading the
Group Test review on page 53
of the February 2020 issue, and
I was surprised that the Linksys
Velop was not included since on
page 68 it’s declared the “Best
of the Best”! After reading the
comments of each test, I feel
you deliberately downgraded
the Netgear based mainly on the
fact it only had two units (even
though the other three–unit sets
didn’t come close to the features
of the two Netgear units) and
the cost. If you’re going to
consider cost, then you should
downgrade Apple productssince they’re more expensive
than Windows and Android
products. Blaming the included
app was just a way to rationalize
the selection of a three–unit set.
DENNIS B SWANEYUnfortunately we didn’t quite
get round to updating that
issue’s Best of the Best (blame
our hectic pre–Christmas
deadlines!), but rest assured it
has been altered for the issue
following this one. As to the
point about downgrading the
Netgear product, we think we
made it pretty clear that the
Netgear setup is the best interms of outright
performance, provided that
cost isn’t a consideration. Of
course, cost is a big factor for
the majority of people —
whether they choose to spend
more on Apple products over
Android/Windows isn’t really
relevant since we can only
assume that if you’re reading
an Apple magazine, then you
probably only buy Apple
products. So, there’s very
little point comparing them to
a product from an ecosystem
that you would never consider.Swift service
I just read the Letter of the
Month in the January 2020
issue (Mac|Life #162). I was told
the reason for the two to three
week time period for battery
replacement for the MacBook is
that it must be sent by ground
to the repair facility. When the
battery is replaced it may then
ship by air back to the Apple
Store. To prevent me from being
without a machine, Apple sold
me a new MacBook Pro which
I could return for a full refund
when my 2015 MacBook was
fixed. When the Pro arrived, my
MacBook was not due back
within the two–week return
window, so Apple extended my
return period. However, my
MacBook was returned in 12
days. Pretty good service.
