User reviews

Latest update

After the latest update the audio is not working. Turning it on/off off/on doesn’t fix it.

Excellent Enigma emulator

This is a very polished app with great attention paid to fidelity and authenticity. I like that various versions of the Enigma machines are simulated and explained.

Problème de son

Bonjour, depuis la dernière mise à jour, plus de son des frappes au clavier.

Fast fix!

Wurde superschnell behoben! Wieder Top!

alter Text:
Schade, fand ich mal super. Aber nun kann man die unteren, mittleren Tasten nicht mehr erreichen, weil der Bereich von der Homegeste beansprucht wird. Und oben verschwindet einiges hinter der Dynamic-Island.

Response from developer

Könntest du es noch einmal mit dem neuesten Update (4.5.1) versuchen? Ich hoffe, es löst das Problem. Danke! (online übersetzt :)

Cool, one major flaw

The app works really well. I’ve read about the Enigma machine for many years and have become quite familiar with it including how it works. It looks great, too. A great emulator.

Now for the bad part. All the help and tutorials are written in some bogus font that looks like a severely distressed typewriter. My tired old eyes struggle to read them. If the developers are reading this, please stick to a font that’s readily readable. If it wasn’t for this issue, this would be a five star review.
