Secret Chat 1.0.0.0
For anyone interested in making sure the communications with third parties are safe from prying eyes, a utility like Secret Chat for Windows Phone could be a good choice.
Dull and unappealing interface, focused on practicality
The looks of this app are plain and completely unadorned, as they lack any element of graphics that could be deemed as pleasing to the eye. The sombre appearance is a clear indicator for the fact that this tool is bent on functionality, so the ease of use is at the core of its development.
The text boxes where you can input the text to be encoded or paste the encrypted content to have it deciphered are quite generous, as they can accommodate 5 lines per view. Also, there are no noticeable limits with regard to the total amount of text that can be inserted in Secret Chat.
One tap encryption and decryption
The utility is very easy to operate and both operations it supports, namely encoding and decoding texts are carried out automatically, without requiring passwords or encryption keys. The only mandatory requirement is that the person trying to decode a message encrypted with Secret Chat does so only inside the app, otherwise the text cannot be deciphered.
After you enter the message in the corresponding box, simply press "Encrypt" and the encoded string will appear right under the text field and you can copy it or send it via SMS directly to a contact in your phone book.
A word of advice for those who want to send important information through this app: don't. The encryption used by this utility is not too powerful and the code can be easily deciphered without too many difficulties by most users.

Bottom Line
Design / UI3
The GUI is as simple as it can get and the plain appearance is completely void of any appeal. The only thing that counts as a plus is the decent size of the text boxes. |
Function4
The application is very easy to use and has some simple yet useful features, but the very weak encryption makes it unsuitable for exchanging private info. |
Security10
Secret Chat doesn't even come near any areas where secure information is kept, so the personal information stored onto the mobile device is safe from this point of view. |
Battery8
The power consumption for this utility is rather reduced, so the battery usage remains well within normal limits at all times. |
Price3
For amusement purposes and to have bits of casual small talk pass like something important, users can try this application, but in case they want to keep their texts secure, this is definitely not the one to go for. |
Compatibility8
Suited for use only on Windows Phone 8 and above handsets, this utility doesn't have any special requirements. |
