### 1/5 — Please provide privacy policy.

*2015-06-11*

Unable to accurately rate this App, because I can't find the Privacy Policy.  Uninstalling.

### 1/5 — Ad platform with little value

*2014-11-07*

Obnoxious ads appear top and bottom. Some are for apps not available on the U.S. App Store, some look like they are part of the app.

### 1/5 — Worrying set up

*2013-03-16*

I see when you try to send an encrypted text message, it automatically copies the text into a new message, but I see the dev has sneakily tried to make you send the message to him as well as your contact, he has an automatic contact setup with a black name so in the to: field it just looks like a circle but it is a contact and who know where you will be sending your message that is suppose to contain sensitive data!!!!

### 1/5 — Not Impressed

*2010-10-10*

Not impressed

### 4/5 — Good

*2010-08-15*

This app would be AWESOME if I knew how to work it!
