6cret 1.2
Users can log in and speak their mind freely, without having to worry someone will see their name or other details and if you own a Windows Phone device, 6cret is the app for that.
Simple looks and smooth browsing
The application comes with a clean and uncomplicated front-end that makes it easy to look at the secrets of others and add some of your own. The graphics are kept very simple, without any flashy effects, so the focus is clearly set on practicality.
As easy and fluent as it may be to move through the list of posts, there is no categorization, so there is a lot of mixed content presented inside the "Explore" area. An even more visible drawback is the presence of the advertisement banners that can be removed only after a purchase is made.
Add your secrets on the go
Creating a new secret can take a few seconds or a couple of minutes, depending on the amount of details you want to include in your posting.
The application allows you to use a simple, blank background, pick a colored one, use the built-in search to find Flickr pics or simply take a snapshot with the phone's camera.
In case you want to get some opinions from your friends and other people who look at your secret, there is an option for attaching a poll to the secret so everyone can answer with "Yes" or "No" to the question you ask.
Privacy and expression of opinion
6cret preserves the focus on privacy and freedom of speech that are the main characteristics of the online service, so the first thing you may want to do when starting the app is choose carefully if you want your location to be used and posted when adding new content.
When exploring the list of secrets you have the possibility to mark the posts you like and leave comments, while also reading the opinions expressed by others.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The layout of this app is too simple and lacks a more proper organization to make it easier for users to find secrets based on their interests. Nonetheless, the graphics are nicely done and the smooth navigation is also to be appreciated. |
Function8
6cret provides enough options for personalizing the background of the new posts, allows sharing the secrets and offers the possibility to add comments, all in a straightforward manner. |
Security9
The utility only needs to look into system areas that are related to its functionality, so it is a fairly safe bet to have it installed. Also, the geolocation feature is not activated by default and can be turned off from the "Settings" area. |
Battery8
The moderate power consumption of this app makes the battery usage remain well within normal limits at all times. |
Price9
For all "Secret" users this app is really useful and offers a good set of features to have a very good value overall. |
Compatibility7
Only users with more recent devices powered by Windows Phone 8.1 can enjoy this application onto their handsets. |
