Q: Will my web login information be shared with the user?

Q: What if I have already logged in to Facebook or other websites on the device in Safari? Do I have to login again on this app?

A: Yes, logins are not shared with Safari if you have already logged in. It has to be done in the app.

Q: It looks like you default to http instead of https. Isn't that less secure?

A: For compatibility, Simple Web will automatically fix a web address that was typed in to use http instead of https. When the user loads the page, URLs are automatically upgraded to https if they support it keeping it secure.

Q: Do I have to buy the full version for both the primary user and the managing user?

A: No, the purchase only needs to be made from the primary user so that any managing user can edit websites without having to purchase the app as well.

A: This app can be used without iCloud if you aren't sharing the websites and settings with a managing user.

Q: What if I don't have an Apple Device?

A: You can still setup the user as a single user and edit settings from their device.
