Its a Secret 2015.128.2050.4523
Especially tailored for those who need to quickly encode some texts or hide them in an original fashion, Its a Secret is ready to take care of this task on any Windows Phone device that supports it.
Appealing looks and practical layout
The clean appearance of this application makes it pleasant to look at, while also offering quick access to all the functions and commands. The content can be read clearly and the buttons for activating the various features are clearly designed as well.
At first glance there seems to be not enough space for adding the content to encrypt, as the input field appears as a single line, but as you write the text, the area expands one line at a time, until everything you need to take down is included.
A very noticeable and bothersome presence is that of the continuously changing ad banners that are shown in the lower part of the screen, no matter the section of the app you are currently browsing.
Simple text encryption and decryption operations
The utility offers a straightforward way of adding text data to the protected storage, so with a couple of taps you can write the text and have it encrypted.
The actual encoding takes place very quickly and the ciphered bits appear as soon as you finish typing in the passwords required to star the operation.
In order to read a text sequence that was encrypted with Its a Secret you will have to paste it inside the dedicated decryption module and then provide the passphrase that was used to encode the data.
Hide text inside images on the go
A great feature of this application relies in its steganography support that makes it possible for you to hide any text inside a digital picture. Thus, after selecting the target image, you can add the text and have the image saved inside your local photo library from where you can sent it out to someone who needs to receive a secret message or simply keep the data hidden in plain sight.
Just like the previous type of encryption, making the ciphered text visible again means that you have to open the so-called "stego image" inside the specialized decryption module where, after providing the correct password, you will be able to read the written content.
An important mention you have to take into consideration relates to the text length limitations Its a Secret has. More precisely, the plain text encryption is limited to 500 characters, while the steganography has a 150 characters restriction. Both can be removed with one purchase.
