Encrypt a SMS 1.1.0.0
For Windows Phone users who want to share secret thoughts or private texts worry-free a utility like Encrypt a SMS could be very well worth trying.
Decent appearance and easy to use front-end
This application comes with a quite nice aspect that is mainly due to the cool background that is displayed in every screen of the app. The smooth navigation is another plus for the interface, as the transitions between the various sections of the utility are fluent and without any delays.
The special drawing area inside Encrypt a SMS has a generous space reserved for the workspace and the response is immediate when sketching on the empty canvas.
Quick encryption and decryption of messages
When it comes to actual functioning of the app, things are really simple and everyone can have an easy time encoding texts and sending them in a jiffy. The input and output boxes seem a bit undersized as they will accommodate only 3 lines of text per view, but this should not be too big of a problem.
In order to encode and then decode the messages a so-called "secret key" is involved and you have to create it then let the recipient(s) know it so as to be able to decipher your texts. Needless to say that it is mandatory that all the parties involved in the message exchange have this app installed onto their handset, otherwise the SMSes will not be readable.
Draw, encode and send secret images
A neat feature of Encrypt a SMS is its ability to send out hand-drawn sketches you will be able to make in the dedicated section of this application.
Thus, after you put your imagination at work and draw the most amazing doodle ever, press "Encode" and the image will be encoded and ready to be sent not only via SMS but also as an email attachment.
