Hello, is 1Password 4 going to replace 1Password Pro 3.x ?

Does it make sense buying 1P Pro or should i go directly with 1P4 ?

i have the same question. Does the universal 1Password 4 for iOS REPLACE 1Password Pro 3.7.x

Considering that 1Password 3.x -- Pro or otherwise -- isn't even being sold on the App Store any more, I'd say the answer is yes <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

We're asking because we don't want to buy 4.0 and find out that they release 4.0 Pro in a month or two.

Obviously only Agile can answer this question definitively, but they're probably all off recuperating from last night's launch party <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />



However, the only difference between 1Password 3.x and 1Password Pro 3.x was that the "Pro" version was universal. 1Password 4 already [i]is[/i] universal. Ergo, it seems to me that the answer is "yes" and this is basically what khad was more or less saying in his earlier post above.



If there were a "Pro" version of 1Password 4 on the horizon, I really have no idea what additional features it would include, but it would be conceptually a completely different product and not a direct replacement for 1Password Pro 3.x, since 1Password 4 already does what the "Pro" 3.x version does -- run on both your iPhone/iPod touch and your iPad as a single app.

Originally there were some bigger plans for the Pro version of 1Password Touch for iOS. See this old blog post:

I remember the WebDav and MobileMe being two of the biggest things. But as things always seem to happen there were many changes on the horizon.



The biggest: iPad



Then iCloud sort of made the MobileMe/WebDav stuff obsolete.



So basically, if you bought the original Pro version back in the day you never got the originally planned new features BUT you also never paid for an iPad version. In a nutshell, the original Pro version became the combo version.



And with all the diversion you can see it took 3 years before Favorites and Folders finally made it to iOS. I am sure part of that long delay was the decision that a whole new app would be made as opposed to updating the old version. I'm sure RK learned a lot from the original iOS version and thus would have several different ways of doing things if he did it again. To me it sounds like the version 4 app is a re-write from the ground up.



So I would safely guess that the current version 4 of the iOS app won't see another flavor pop-out in anytime in the next couple of years but rather version updates.

The old 1Password Pro app was simply a universal app that combined the iPhone and iPad apps together at a discounted price.
