Caesar Cipher Encrypter 1.2.0

Write down texts and encode them before sharing them as email or SMS messages
Numerous users are on the lookout for simple yet secure methods of communicating with friends and this spurred the development of numerous dedicated solutions for all desktop and mobile platforms.

In case you are a Windows Phone user who is keen to check out all sorts of encryption tools and methods, Caesar Cipher Encrypter might be a utility worth trying, as it uses a different method of encoding texts.

Easy to use, yet unattractive layout

This application succeeds in offering a very simple front-end, with all the functions and commands easy to reach and use, but fails at providing a hint of visual appeal, since the looks it comes with are dreary and dull.

The content is fairly well organized, but the box where you have to input the text strings that will be encrypted is rather small. Moving through the various sections of the utility is fluent and without any noticeable delays or some other kind of drawbacks.

Pick the cipher for the encryption and protect the texts

The most important stage in the whole procedure is the selection of the coding method, which consists of choosing the shift for letters and numbers, represented by the ROT-N value. Once this is settled, you can tap the "Encrypt" button to have the text ciphered automatically.

Inside a new screen you will be presented with the encoded data bits, which you can distribute or copy. The later option is possible only by using the "Edit" feature that unlocks the encrypted text and thus makes it selectable.

Send ciphered messages on the go

With Caesar Cipher Encrypter you get by default only two methods of sharing the content you obtain after encoding some text strings. More precisely, you will be able to send the encrypted bits inside an email message or as an SMS with a couple of taps.

Should you need to strengthen the encryption, you can pass the already ciphered text through the app again, with a different shift, but remember to send the ROT-N values to the persons receiving the texts, so they can unlock and read it.

Hits & Misses

hits

  • allows users to share the encrypted bits via SMS and email
  • very reduced battery utilization

misses

  • ugly interface
  • copying the ciphered content takes too many steps
  • needs a more convenient way of selecting the ciphers instead of having the user go through several screens
Bottom Line
Design / UI3
 

The interface of this application is poorly designed and doesn't have anything to offer from the visual perspective, so it loses a lot of points here.

Function7
 

The basic features provided by this utility work very well individually and also as a whole, but it could surely do with a bit of improvements and additions function wise.

Security10
 

Caesar Cipher Encrypter is a safe tool to have installed as it doesn't need to access any secure areas of the system.

Battery9
 

Barely noticeable while running, the app has a really low power consumption, which keeps the battery safe from an untimely discharge.

Price7
 

For users interested in experimenting with less common types of encryption this application may be of interest, but there are other tools more suitable for text encryption.

Compatibility7
 

Not too many users can have Caesar Cipher Encrypter installed onto their handsets as it only works on Windows Phone 8.1 devices.
