Great Software

Sub Cipher is a great software. It is so easy to use and works without flaws. You can type in your regular words or phrases and it automatically encrypts them according to the adjustable offset. You can make the offset either forward or reverse. This makes it so easy to create educational books. You can copy the plain text that you have inputted and then copy the automatically ciphered text and paste it in a slide presentation or book. This software works flawlessly and has such a well thought out aesthetically pleasing User Interface.

Great piece of software

Mainly a simple substitution, but fun to use. There’s so many ciphers out there, I’d like to see a few more. Good job!

Good fun

I know its a cypher, but I used this little app as a unique name creator for an alien planet that features in my novel. An will use again. Thanks to the developer for that.
