Virtru Email Encryption for Android
This app is a pig to use, even something as simple as deleting e-mail has to be done one at a time with no option to select multiple messag.
The ease of use and security features are vital to modern digital communication
Easy to use
Excellent in both Android and Windows. Works seamlessly in Gmail.
Take pic won't attach galaxy A6, shows blank screen but chose tick or edit, nothing happens
Needs multiple account management. If there's a way of doing so from within the app it escapes me. Please advise.
Ability to attach files, not just pictures, would be great. Also, people can't secure reply via mobile without downloading the app—gives an error when trying. An overhaul to Material design is needed also.
Installed the FF addon on my PC first and set everything up for Gmail. Made sure IMAP was on. Installed App and it connected to my Gmail account automatically. US$48 every year is far too much for the few times I would use the extra features, but free version is perfect for encryption only. Five stars if cost was lower.
I have had no issues with this service since i installed it. Take advantage of the "pro" features which are an amazing addition to your current Gmail account without changing anything with your email. Sure you can get the same security features else where (Proton Mail) but the convenience of keeping your current email is worth it. Amazing security features are easy to use no headaches trying to get your recipient to understand PGP HOWEVER I wish the user interface mirrored Inbox more. I wanna use only 1app
I'm trying to link it with my GMail account, but Virtru says I need to change the GMap (hope I have that right, as the message had only appeared once) settings in my GMail account. I've opened the Gmail app in my Android smartphone, but don't readily see the setting.
Customer support is fantastic! If you can't get it to work make sure IMAP is enabled in gmail. Also, if you use 2-step authentication you need to set up an app specific password in gmail. Then is works perfectly! Great job devs! Love it!
Wish it would support multiple accounts is all.
Uses a ridiculous amount of data when I'm not even actively using it, and there's no way to turn it off because it runs automatically.
Forwarding not working well (Forwarded message is missing)
I find that this app is hard on battery usage. % of power usage is far more than the app need require, hopefully this will get resolved in very near future.
Works Great on my Galaxy S2 but would also like it on my phone. I get the activation message, but then it stops and gives me the opportunity to report the problem to Google. Will try to uninstall and try again, then update this review after that.UPDATE: still won't activate after uninstalling and reinstalling. Can this be installed on two different devices for the same email account?
Works great, please consider reworking the icon to look like an envelope please.
Nice product once it is set up. A few more features will make it great for email control. Customer support was great.
set time to destroy mail please ex. 1 hr- 24 he or 10 minutes
Set up android phone for gmail. Sent gmail to gmail mobile. Sent gmail to yahoo. Replied gmail & replied yahoo mobile. Read & replied by pc both gmail & yahoo. Works great for me. If price was lower maybe 5 stars.

Virtru does not work with any Android email clent. Not even GMail! As a result, you either have to use webmail or this terrible app. This app is horribly crude. It does not support multiple accounts in the UI, and is cannot be configured even minimally. There are just no good features at all aside from encryption. Either support working within other apps or beef up this one.
So easy to use
Like the concept and the app overall, but I have two issues. For one, it's always running in the background. I don't like this. I'd prefer a way to have the app go dormant when not in use. I can then open the app and manually fetch email as needed rather than it constantly being awake in the background. Second, I wish there was a way for it to open in Secure Email Only by default. I have my regular client for most of my email, I only need this for my secure messages. Deleting for now, will try again later.
I missed the feature from GMail that allows me to manage folders an arrange mail into conversations. I was also expecting it would work with instant message apps as well.
Why can I read secure replies in the app? I send secure messages via my PC browser most times then when I receive a reply I try to open it in the Virtru app. All I can read is who the message is from and to 'open the message in a secure reader'. I click to open the message and nothing happens. What is the point of this app if I can't read the secure replies directly in it?
This doesnt work like the web version of virtru. This is a basic email client designed to fetch ALL your messages. If you already use an app like gmail, etc. You get two notifications about mail and two copies of all your mail in your phone. There needs to be a setting to only fetch virtru messages. Not just a filter to see just virtru msgs. Also of use is way to control how often it connects to your inbox and how many days of messages it stores. Uninstalling for now but I will stay on top of the progress.

"Error retrieving message." Won't open emails sent from browser with virtru plugin. Half people I send emails to can't open them.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Virtru! I cannot tell you how loooong I've been searching for and testing other email encryption software tools. Virtru is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! It is cross-platform, browser and device compatible and only continues getting better all the time! As quickly as humanly possible, I am sharing and installing Virtru on every web browser and device within multiple companies, family and friends. Feel free to contact me, should you have any questions. Thanks! Jeff Zimarik Tech

Works well just as described.
Crazy fast help from developer solved my validtion problem quick & easy! App is easy to use, attractive. WHAT I'D LIKE: to be able to include an un-encrypted "preview" message like in web plugin, and to use Gmail's "archive" feature.
Works seamlessly in Gmail, so your 2FA protects you as well. Handles attachments correctly (waiting for some more efficient process ...).
Dislike encrypted using Google technology.
Good pavan
Wouldn't complete the verification process.
I love using it on my laptop with Gmail, but with my same gmail account on my phone it won't readily install or synchronize my access. Got it installed on my Nexus 7 after struggling a bit because of the two-step verification needed with my gmail

I have been using this product for several years on Gmail and recently with Outlook. Support is excellent and solved my problem. Very easy to setup. .
