We’re very pleased to announce that eWallet^® 8.4 for Android OS is now available in the Google Play and Amazon app stores. The new release includes support for Dark theme, also referred to as Dark mode or Night mode. A dark theme has battery power usage and visibility benefits but on top of that it just looks great!

eWallet 8.3 Update featuring new wallet format

December 6, 2016 by Ken

eWallet

eWallet^® 8.3 with a new improved wallet format is now available on Android, iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod touch), Mac, and Windows PC (desktop).

“New wallet format? Well that doesn’t sound very exciting…” If you’re thinking that we wouldn’t blame you bit! But it turns out the format is really important as part of the behind-the-scenes storage, organizing, and protecting of your personal and business information.

digital security

So what changed? The new wallet format has improved security, better support for international characters in category names, and we’ve bumped up some of the limits so you can now have larger wallets and more content, such as images and other attachments in your wallets. eWallet will upgrade to the new format automatically when you open your wallet, so there’s nothing special you need to do on your end. Since the wallet format has changed, it’s best if you’re running the new version everywhere, so you’ll want to make sure you upgrade all your devices, PCs, and Macs to take advantage of the changes and for the best sync experience.

We did several other things in each of the releases as well. As just a few examples, the Mac version now lets you initiate a call from Skype or a connected iPhone and has support for IPv6 networks, the PC and Android versions have additional information on the opened wallet, the iOS version has a faster live search, and all the platforms have fixes and enhancements for issues that might not have affected everyone, but we wanted to get them cleaned up.

We get such great feedback from our users — please keep it coming and contact us any time you like.

eWallet 8.3 for Android runs on Android OS 4.0.3 to 7 including both phones and tablets. Use of the fingerprint scanner requires Android 6 or higher on compatible devices. This upgrade is free for all users who already own a license of eWallet version 7 or 8 for Android. If you purchased a copy from Google Play or Amazon using their app stores, then you’ll be able to use the Update feature in the respective store to get the new version. Get all the info about eWallet for Android here on our site.

eWallet 8.3 for iOS runs on iOS 8, 9 and 10 devices, including the new iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPad Pro. This update is free for all users who already own a license of eWallet version 8 for iOS on compatible devices, and is delivered by the on-device App Store. Get all the info about eWallet for iOS here on our site.

eWallet 8.3 for Mac runs on macOS 10.9 (Mavericks) or later, (including Yosemite, El Capitan, and Sierra). This update is free for all users who already purchased a license of eWallet version 7 or 8 from Apple’s Mac App Store. Get all the info about eWallet for Mac (including access to a 30-day trial version) here on our site.

eWallet 8.2 for Android update includes fingerprint support

March 16, 2016 by Ken

We’re very pleased to announce that eWallet^® 8.2 for Android OS is now available in the Google Play and Amazon app stores. The new release includes fingerprint support for entering passwords, copy/pasting of cards within and between wallets, and the ability to rename and change the type of your card fields.

Some Android devices have had fingerprint scanners for a while now, but until Android OS 6 (Marshmallow), the scanners were supported by the device manufacturers rather than Android itself. We heard from many users (loud and clear!) that they really like the convenience of the fingerprint scanner, and now that Android 6 supports it, so does eWallet. And you can decide on a wallet-by-wallet basis if you want to use the fingerprint scanner to unlock your wallet or not.

Many of you also sync with the PC or Mac version of eWallet where it’s very convenient to move cards around between categories. As we all use our mobile devices for more and more in our daily lives though, it’s handy to be able to reorganize a bit by copy/pasting your eWallet cards right on your Android device.

Finally, many of you requested that we allow changing the field names directly in the Android version, for example, changing a label like User Name to Email. You can change the type of the field too, so if you want to have an extra password on your card and make that field hidden, now you can. Oh, and one more thing: the new version should be much better about opening the last wallet you used, so when you start eWallet, you’ll be right at the lock screen rather than your list of wallets.

I know I’ve said this before, but we are truly fortunate to get so much great real-world help with beta testing. We again had an excellent beta team for the 8.2 release and their feedback helped immensely. If you’re interested in participating in a future beta, or have any questions or comments about the release, please contact us!

eWallet 8.2 for Android runs on Android OS 4.0.3 to 6.0 including both phones and tablets. Use of the fingerprint scanner requires Android 6 on compatible devices. This upgrade is free for all users who already own a license of eWallet version 7 or 8 for Android. If you purchased a copy from Google Play or Amazon using their app stores, then you’ll be able to use the Update feature in the respective store to get the new version.

eWallet 8.1 for Android now available

November 10, 2015 by Ken

e-wallet

We’re very pleased to announce that eWallet^® 8.1 for Android OS is now available in the Google Play and Amazon app stores.

On the heels of the eWallet for iOS update, the new 8.1 update focuses on fully supporting the new permissions system in Android OS 6.0. The 6.0 permission system makes it possible for users to allow or revoke individual permissions when the product is running, rather than the old model of having to accept all the permissions when you installed the product. You know the saying, “with great power comes great responsibility” and the same applies here — you can revoke permissions on an app, but then it may not be able to do everything you would like. For eWallet, the main area of permissions is around being able to save backups and import information into a wallet.

We added several other “behind the scenes” features and fixes including the live search that now includes the title of the card (it was previously searching all the card data but not the title) and some improvements to the way images are handled.

We want to again thank our Android beta testing team who have been testing features and fixes and giving us great feedback. If you’re interested in participating in a future beta, or have any questions or comments about the release, please contact us!

eWallet 8.1 for Android runs on Android OS 4.0.3 to 6.0 including both phones and tablets. This upgrade is free for all users who already own a license of eWallet version 7 or 8 for Android. If you purchased a copy from Google Play or Amazon using their app stores, then you’ll be able to use the Update feature in the respective store to get the new version.

eWallet Gets Cloud Sync in Android version

March 17, 2015 by Ken

e-wallet

We’re very pleased to announce that our SyncPro^® engine including cloud sync is now included with eWallet^® 8 for Android.

The Windows PC (desktop) and iOS versions got the cloud sync upgrade last summer and now the Android version has it too. With version 8 of eWallet for Android you now have an additional way to sync and backup that makes use of cloud services, and doesn’t require a direct connection between devices. With cloud syncing you consider the wallet in the cloud to be the master, and then you can sync multiple devices (desktops, laptops, Android phones and tablets, and iOS devices) to that master wallet.

We still offer the direct WiFi sync method as well if you don’t want to (or can’t) store your wallet in the cloud, but we no longer offer the old USB sync, as many Android devices don’t support USB Mass Storage mode anyway.

In addition to cloud sync, we also completely updated the user interface using Google’s Material Design concepts. We also added new high resolution card icons for a new look, and one that fits in better with the new interface. The wallet file format is now the same as on other platforms, so wallets are essentially interchangeable across devices (there’s even a new feature that lets you email a backup copy of your wallet to yourself).

Please note that because of the wallet file change, if you want to continue to use WiFi sync between your PC and Android, you’ll need to upgrade your PC version of eWallet to 8.1.

A special thank you to our Android beta testing team who have been testing and giving us great feedback. If you’re interested in participating in a future beta, or have any questions or comments about the release, please contact us!

eWallet 8.0 for Android runs on Android OS 4.0.3 to 5.x including both phones and tablets. This upgrade is free for all users who already own a license of eWallet version 7 for Android. If you purchased a copy from Google Play or Amazon using their app stores, then you’ll be able to use the Update feature in the respective store to get the new version. Get all the info about eWallet here on our site.

eWallet 8.1 for Windows PC runs on all versions of Windows 7, and runs on Windows 8 and 8.1 in Desktop mode. This update is free for all users who already own a license of eWallet for Windows PC (desktop), version 7 or 8; you can download or upgrade to the latest Windows PC version from our site (you do not need new registration codes). If you have version 7.5 or later with automatic updates turned on, you’ll get prompted to update to the latest version (you can press “Check for Updates” in the About screen too).
