    "Hi the software doesn't work on the lastest mac os"

    June 28, 2012  |   By matrixvga

    Version: TrueCrypt 7.0a

    Pros

    On lion 10.7.4 after I install the package and run the application it immediately crashes, every single time. I have since moved the app to the trash and waiting for an alternative to truecrypt.

    Might I ask the developer to update the software to funciton on the new OSX Lion. Thanks.

    Cons

    Truecrypt doesn't work on the lastest mac OSX.

    "One of the easier encryption utilities to use"

    June 5, 2011  |   By BosoxMan

    Version: TrueCrypt 7.0a

    Pros

    Easy to use, quick, and unobtrusive. And of course, free!

    Cons

    Something true of all encrypted folders and volumes: The slightest change will cause Time Machine to re-save the entire archive. You need to exclude encrypted folders or volumes from backup, if they're of significant size.

    Summary

    Quick, easy, and more than good enough for any rational user.
