awful – Crypto-Chat Review

Quite a few things done wrong in the app. First of all it's not a chat/instant messaging app. You write a message click the encrypt button and after you give it a keywork to encrypt it'll prompt you to either copy an ecrypted link or share it with your contacts, via sms, facebook, twitter or what have you. The link HAS to be opened on safari on an ios device with the chat app installed to read it. This all in theory. The actual service doesn't work. Whenever I tap the encypt button and input the password it sends me to the apps app store page, and the same happens when I want to decrypt a message, this makes the app useless. Lastly the fact that to chat you have to write the message, encypt it, copy the link, share the link and the other side has to do the reverse makes it a very slow method of communication. Many better apps out there. Take telegram for instance, you can set the messages to be deleted after 5 seconds of being opened.
