At long last, iDiscrete 3.0 is ready for download. This new version is fully functional on all new iPhones and the latest version of iOS. It is now optimized for the larger screen sizes of the newest iOS devices. We are still ironing out some small bugs, but we're 95% of the way there... Thanks for supporting our pet project iDiscrete. We will continue updating the app as long as there are still users out there that are enthusiastic about it. THANK YOU!! iDiscrete has a very simple Mission Statement: "To securely store our user's private content (videos, images, notes, et al.) on their iOS devices, and to do so in the most discreet way possible." You can think of iDiscrete as a digital safe, where you can securely store all your private pictures, videos, notes and more. Rather than requiring a suspicious looking password or PIN to enter the app, iDiscrete uses its patented Touch Sequence Protection™. This works by bringing up a fake "Loading" screen upon entry to the application. An unauthorized user will think the app is really loading, but the device owner knows that this is actually the password screen. A series of taps in the correct places (the "Touch Sequence") will open up the app. Doing nothing will boot to a dummy app. This unique feature, combined with an application icon and name that do not give away its functionality, mean that an unauthorized user would NEVER suspect the true nature of the app. Keep your private life private with iDiscrete! =================================== iDiscrete distinguishes itself from the competition in a number of important ways: ► PRICE ◄ iDiscrete is half the price of its nearest legitimate competition. DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND READ OUR REVIEWS, AND YOU WILL FIND THAT iDISCRETE IS BY FAR THE BEST VALUE, NOT TO MENTION A SUPERIOR APP. ► SUPPORTED FILE TYPES ◄ iDiscrete has a massive list of file formats it supports, and here is it: JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, 3GP, ASF, AVI, DIVX, DV, FLV, GXF, M2P, M2TS, M2V, M4V, MKV, MOOV, MOV, MP4, MPEG, MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, MPG, MPV, MT2S, MTS, MXF, OGM, OGV, PS, QT, RM, RMVB, TS, VOB, WEBM, WM, WMV, TXT, DOC, DOCX, RTF, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, PDF and MP3. Whew! (And we are adding more all the time…) ► UPDATES ◄ We have a number of future upgrades planned that will add even more functionality to iDiscrete, many of which were taken directly from real end-user suggestions. Other apps do not offer the exceptional customer support and updates that we do. ► WIFI HARD DRIVE ◄ Using our innovative iDiscrete File Manager, you can get your content onto your iOS device using any computer with a web browser and a WiFi connection. In addition, YOU CAN PULL CONTENT OFF THE DEVICE IN THE SAME WAY. iDiscrete allows you to upload any file type (unsupported formats go into a "Misc." folder) so in this way it doubles as a mass storage device. Stand alone apps that do this often cost more than iDiscrete! ► It's right in the name: DISCREET! ◄ Other apps simply password protect your content, but to prying eyes this can still look very suspicious. Thus, iDiscrete not only hides the sensitive content and effectively password protects it, but it conceals the very fact that an app with this functionality exists on the user's device. It avoids a situation where an unauthorized user may inadvertently click on the app, see a password, and ask you "Hey, what's this??" IT NEVER LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE WITH iDISCRETE. ## Key features - Securely store private content - Patented Touch Sequence Protection - Discreet application icon and name - Supports numerous file types (JPG, MP4, PDF, MP3, etc.) - WiFi Hard Drive functionality for file transfer - Acts as a mass storage device ## Recent user reviews (10 of 50) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/idiscrete/id370574724/reviews.md ### 1/5 — App disappeared from phone and deleted my data *2023-01-09, version 3.1* This app randomly disappeared from my phone and wasn’t available in the AppStore for a period of time. I’m located in the US. It then came back and all of my data was gone. ### 1/5 — I got this app to hide texts—doesn’t work *2022-04-16, version 3.1* The only reason I got this app was to hide texts and I can’t even do that. Worthless ### 3/5 — Passcode *2021-12-19, version 3.1* I cannot get in need to reset passcode ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2021-07-03, version 3.1* This used to be an amazing app. But the fact that it hasn’t updated in three years has caused a lot of issues. The file manager stopped working. Sometimes it refuses to do multiple videos at the same time. Videos end up without a thumbnail so it’s hard to tell what’s what. And now. The new issue. The protection of the key sequence password is defaulting to unprotected. So it defeats the purpose of the app. ### 1/5 — Would be good. *2021-06-25, version 3.1* App doesn’t load video from camera roll so it’s pointless. Needs to be fixed then I’ll give better review. ### 5/5 — Please update *2020-09-27, version 3.1* Please update this app I’ve been using it for years I don’t want my downloads to go away ### 3/5 — Stopped working *2020-05-01, version 3.1* I have never had a problem w this app EVER.. with the latest IOS update 13.4.1 it has stopped accepting my passcode and my notes screen ‘hint’ is no longer there.. (I put the answer in but still doesn’t work). I have never paid for this app & in the help sections I am finding that’s it’s no longer free.. HELP???!!! ### 2/5 — What’s happening here??? *2020-04-19, version 3.1* My pictures are being replaced with other pictures in an entire different folder. What’s going on? Why is this happening??? ### 1/5 — I forgot mi passcode *2020-03-25, version 3.1* I dont remember my passcode and there is no way to contact support so they can can tell me how to restore my passcode ### 2/5 — Could be perfect with one simple change *2020-03-15, version 3.1* In file manager, if there was a way to select multiple files to transfer, this would be a much better app. As it is, having to select one file at a time is ok only if you don’t have many files to transfer. That one simple fix would put this to a 5. ## Frequently asked questions about iDiscrete ### What does iDiscrete do? iDiscrete is designed to securely store your private content, including videos, images, and notes, on your iOS device.
