unreadable 1.1.0.0

A quick and convenient tool for Windows Phone users who want to secure their text messages
Ensuring the information exchange is protected when sending out messages to friends and family is of the utmost importance these days.

Those who use instant messaging solutions on a regular basis and share personal details or other kind of private data might be interested in finding a utility that can encode the content they are getting ready to send out.

In case the communication is carried out using Windows Phone devices, there is a neat little app that could come in handy and it goes by the suggestive name of unreadable.

Simple design and layout made for ease of use

The application offers a pretty clean interface, with all the functions and commands hosted inside the same screen, which makes them pretty easy to reach and use.

While navigating inside the various modules of the utility you might experience some minor delays in loading the main menu or the selected section of the app.

The input box where you can add the text to be processed is adaptive, so even if it seems very small when empty, it will accommodate all the content you need, as it adjusts its margins automatically.

Effortless encryption

with simple configurations

unreadable uses the powerful encryption offered by the AES 256-bit algorithm to scramble the texts and it needs you to provide a password for this purpose. This passkey should be sent to the recipient in a secure way, so you can be sure that they will be able to decode your messages.

Optionally, before proceeding with the encryption, you can activate a neat feature of this app, namely the ability to insert inside the message the instructions for decrypting the ciphered content.

When the encoding is complete, you are presented with the entire text string selected and ready to be copied or sent via email on the spot.

Decode the encrypted messages with ease

When someone receives you encoded communication, they will have to install the app onto their Windows Phone as well in order to be able to decrypt the text and read it.

The procedure could hardly be any simpler, because all you have to do is input the ciphered text in the corresponding field and then type in the password and with a single tap on the "decrypt" button the content will immediately become available.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
 

The looks of the app are less appealing and leaning more towards practicality, so it is average from this point of view.

Function6
 

unreadable uses a very strong encryption method, but its feature set is pretty slim, lacking more options for sending out the text, for instance.

Security10
 

The application leaves the sensitive areas of the system untouched and is very discreet while functioning.

Battery6
 

Keeping this utility running for longer periods of time will have a quite visible impact on the battery usage.

Price10
 

Completely free of nuisances and without asking for anything in return for the features it provides, unreadable has an excellent value.

Compatibility9
 

Those who want to take this application for a spin can install and run it on any Windows Phone 8 or higher handset.
