Verdict: 

A simple iOS password application if that’s all you need.

Based on the Password Safe open-source application, App77 pwSafe is very plain. It allows in-app syncing to Dropbox, but that’s US$2.49 extra. There’s no built-in browsing facility, unlike competing iOS clients. Each field (URL, Username and Password) can be tapped upon to automatically copy to the clipboard, but this is a one-at-a-time approach, so you’ve got to switch between the browser and pwSafe for each entry.

For a free application, it’s hard to argue with the basics that pwSafe gets right in terms of storing password details, but it’s not particularly feature-rich in itself.
