Cryptography 1.0
For those who are looking for a really simple method of sending text content on the go, without having to worry that it may be caught and viewed by prying eyes, a utility like Cryptography will do the trick.
Plain and unadorned front-end for ease of use
This Windows Phone app doesn't stand out through any visual feature, as it comes with a really dull interface, painted in two main colors, black and white, with some shades of gray. The layout of the utility is very simple, so you will have no problems in using it.
The areas for writing the texts and viewing the encrypted content are equal in size and placed in the middle of the screen, so as to make them easy to read. Some slightly bigger input boxes for both functions could be implemented, as they seem to be a bit undersized.
Instant encryption and decryption of any written text
Cryptography functions based on a popular method of encoding and decoding information, more precisely it uses a modified Caesar cipher for both operations. All you have to do is write down or paste the text from the clipboard in the appropriate area and with one tap the input will be encrypted.
Deciphering the encoded output can only be done from inside the same application, so the recipient will have to use this utility as well. Adding the ciphered bits in the dedicated box and pressing the "Decrypt" button will reveal the original content.

Bottom Line
Design / UI5
The looks of this app work against it and only the practical layout and great ease of use save it some points from the perspective of the visual appearance. |
Function7
The utility manages in providing a really simple way of sharing messages and the fact that it has only two buttons inside is an advantage but also a drawback. The overly simplified feature set doesn't even offer some copy/paste functions to handle the content easier, not to mention the lack of any sharing possibilities from inside the app. |
Security10
Perfectly safe for use by any user, Cryptography remains barely visible as it doesn't need to peek inside any system area where sensitive information is stored. |
Battery9
The minimalistic looks and simple way of functioning have a positive influence over the power consumption which remains very low all through this app's runtime. |
Price9
Definitely a tool to keep by anyone who wants a really simple text encryptor and decryptor, this application offers everything for free, but there are similar utilities with a bit more features under the hood. |
Compatibility10
All windows Phone users can try this application onto their handsets, as it needs at least version 7 of the operating system to run properly. |
