Trust

I no longer trust the easy online wallets for passwords and codes. I use PTE and rotation passwords and have for the last couple of years. My ID has been robbed at least 3 times through data breaches hitting the US gov and other places. TRUST no one. Encrypt your sensitive data yourself. Freeze your credit history.

Great app

Straightforward text encryption with multiple variations of method. I also love the added feature of hiding text in pictures.

Great job.

Very cool indeed.

disappointed

"upgrading" to Monterey destroyed my ability to use 90% of my legacy software, including iStego. While searching for any free steganography software that was free and usable on my now crippled mac mini (thanks for nothing Monterey), this Paranoia Text Encryption software claimed it could do steganography. Instead of conveniently letting you drop a file of your choice onto an image of your choice and ending up with a file hidden in an image with little fuss, PTE makes it practically impossible. Perhaps someone will figure it out, but my patience wore thin and I gave up after wasting time. Not intuitive or user friendly, and not worth the time I wasted trying to get it to work.

Response from developer

This is (as the name suggests) text encryption software. If you want to work with general files, I would recommend looking for something like FILE encryption/steganography.

Not For Infrequent Users

Each time i use this i type a bunch of great ideas, then proceed to irretrievably lose everything I types - zilch! The terrible part about this program is it is not prepared for people like me that has not memorized all the controls and don’t realize that after i create encrypted text and i think im cleaning up the readable text so i hit the broom, and EVERYTHING I JUST TYPED IS IRRETRIEVABLY GONE WITHOUT ANY WARNING, so its my fault that it doesnt have safeguards for human operators. So, not for me.

I have the same problem as yazo675

Response from developer

Please update your iOS.

Happy but learning

Using iPad mini, I noticed that my password from yesterday’s session was still enabled when I went to decrypt the same text I was experimenting the night before. Maybe I didn’t exit my previous session properly. Otherwise quite pleased with the product. Will do some further investigation. I exited the session pressing the “Home” button which is typical iPad, iPod practice.

Probably a user error 😌

The concept of this app is awesome, I just can actually utilize it because when I go to decrypt something I CAN’T SCROLL UP TO READ IT! Would be a 5 star but as the functionality of the app is in operable, I will give it 2. Will change rating if the Devs. fix this soon.

Response from developer

Please contact us by email and provide us with more information. What device and what version of OS do you use? A screenshot would be great. No one else has ever reported such a problem.

User friendly

Very handy and helpful.

Very useful

I have been using this app for several years. I find it very useful for keeping passwords, bank details etc on my phone without worrying if the phone gets lost. I rarely write reviews but as this really useful app is really short of them I thought I would add my tuppence worth.

great - with some critical thoughts

Bruce Schneier newsletters made us all aware that security software can work flawlessly for years, look and feel good, and still be “snake oil” - not protecting your data if the attacker has unlimited access to your files, enough time and resources.

I cannot check whether the code implementation of PTE has any flaws, but I like the idea, UI and functionality. 5 stars for this. BUT ... if your data were critically important, or a question of life and death ... ?
Sorry to see that the support email address has been deleted. I consider this another reason to repeat my above concerns.

Other than this, a detailed list of PRO features vs. light features would be nice. I couldn’t find it. If PRO is just a way to donate, just say so, I would happily contribute.

Great

Every thing else is awesome. I wish it had RSA support too.

Simple solution

No bells and whistles. Does what I need it to.

Challenger

A great app, very easy to use.

Fantastic, I love it!

Very easy and intuitive to use. Six encryption algorithms, three encrypted output formats to choose from. Button for send-to-clipboard.

Buena nota

Excelente app para cifrar texto con alto nivel de encriptación y buenísima herramienta estaganografica

Mr

Excellent app, no bull, no e-mail needed, easy to use.

If only it worked

Looks like it will work until you try to acess the settings section, and then it crashes..

Excellent , straight forward encryption tool

An excellent easy to use encryption tool for those that understand what they’re doing.

(Going buy 3$ version to show support)

Tks dev!

Trying out the lite version

I saw everyone raving about the pro version so I'm going to test out the lite version and gave it five stars based on the pro version reviews. I'll update after I review.

Five stars for this app!

Nice no frills app that simply works. I will buy paid version just to support the developer.
