iDiscrete operates on a simple principle:

“To securely store your private content (videos, images, et al.) on the iPhone, and do so in a 100% discrete way.”

For less than the price of a cup of coffee, iDiscrete is the most fully featured privacy application available in the App Store. Rather than requiring a suspicious looking password, iDiscrete employs its patent-pending Touch Sequence Protection™. This works by bringing up a nondescript “Loading” screen upon entry to the application, which registers touch input in 8 discrete locations. The user has predefined their desired Touch Sequence, which can be as simple or as complicated as they wish. The Loading screen will only grant access to iDiscrete if the correct Touch Sequence is entered. Otherwise, when the Touch Sequence Timeout expires without receiving the correct sequence, the app will boot to a generic-looking text entry interface. This unique feature, combined with an application icon and name that do not give away its functionality, mean that an unauthorized user would never suspect the true nature of the app.

iDiscrete distinguishes itself from the competition in a number of important ways:

? PRICE ?
iDiscrete is half the price of its nearest legitimate competition. DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND READ OUR REVIEWS, AND YOU WILL FIND THAT iDISCRETE IS BY FAR THE BEST VALUE, AND A SUPERIOR APP.

? FUNCTIONALITY ?
iDiscrete offers BOTH image and video storage, in contrast to some apps which require two separate purchases to achieve the same result. Easily move images or videos already on the phone into iDiscrete, or use the iDiscrete File Manager to transfer them directly via WiFi. v1.1 adds support for TXT, DOC, XLS, PPT and PDF files.

? UPDATES ?
We have many future upgrades planned that will add even more functionality to iDiscrete, many of which were taken directly from real end-user suggestions. CURRENTLY BEING WORKED ON: DIRECT IMAGE/VIDEO CAPTURE FROM WITHIN THE APP, SUBFOLDERS, DRAG-AND-DROP FILE/FOLDER REORGANIZING, iPHONE-TO-iPHONE TRANSFERS VIA BLUETOOTH, PLUS A DOOZY THAT WE CAN’T MENTION, BUT WILL SURELY BE A USER FAVORITE! Other apps do not offer the continuing customer support and updates that we do.

? TWO-WAY FILE TRANSFERS ?
Using our innovative iDiscrete File Manager, you can get your content onto the iPhone using any computer with a web browser and a WiFi connection. In addition, YOU CAN PULL CONTENT OFF THE PHONE IN THE SAME WAY. iDiscrete allows you to upload any file type, and in this way it functions as a mass storage device, with the added security of Touch Sequence Protection™.

? It’s right in the name: DISCREET! ?
Other apps simply password protect your content, but to prying eyes this can still look very suspicious. Thus, iDiscrete not only hides the sensitive content and effectively password protects it, but it conceals the very fact that an app with this functionality exists. It avoids a situation where an unauthorized user may inadvertently click on the app, see a password, and ask you “Hey, what’s this??” IT NEVER LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE WITH iDISCRETE.

Thanks, and please help us spread the word about iDiscrete!

I rely on my iPhone for everything. When I’m on the road, my iPhone replaces my laptop. Subsequently, my iPhone contains most, if not all, of my data-sensitive information, personal and business.

As a result, the need for a private, secure data storage app presented itself out of necessity. Prior to my iPhone, I used a Blackberry that came with a standard “Password Keeper” application, made specifically for entering/storing sensitive data, such as passwords, credit card numbers, bank accounts, pin numbers, private notes, and any other private/ personal information. I loved the applications simplicity and sorely missed it when I made the transition to my iPhone.

As a result, I tried several data storage apps in the past, all offering a plethora of bells and whistles; most of which I don’t need/use. After repeatedly entering all my data into a new app time and again, only to have to revert to another app for one reason or another, I finally settled on using LockBox Pro.

LockBox Pro is a simple, straightforward application that executes as advertised, without all the unnecessary features (multiple predefined forms/categories, custom icons, customizable categories, integration with other services, etc.) and desk-top companion modules. Priced near the middle of the data storage app spectrum at $2.99, it also offers a “lite” version, aptly titled “LockBox.” LockBox is ad-supported, lacks bulk data importing and has limited data-entry fields (sub-fields are limited to two fields per entry).

LockBox Pro offers basic features, including strong security (data is secured via Apple’s Keychain, which utilizes 3DES encryption for high security), the flexibility to add as many fields as you like to each entry, the ability to rearrange and delete items in your list and the ability to import/export data from your computer into LockBox Pro (and visa-versa) using WiFi.

Upon opening LockBox, the user is asked to enter a 4-digit code:

After entering the code, the application “opens” to it’s main menu interface, which lists all entries in (unsorted or in alphabetical order, depending on the user):

photo6

This interface is straightforward, user-friendly and easy to use, offering 4 options: Edit, Add, Import/Export Data and Un/Auto-sort.

Edit and Add allow you to enter and change or modify new/existing entries. Each entry has a Title, Information section allowing you to input as many rows of data you need, a Category section containing 6 preset options and a Notes/Additional Info section, again with multiple data-entry fields:

photo8
photo7

Entering and modifying data is simple and straightforward. LockBox Pro is basic and lacks many advanced features of it’s more expensive counterparts.

Importing/Exporting data is also easy. Users simply enter an IP address into their browser to import, export and back-up data over WiFi, LockBox Pro lists its contents, which can then be pasted into a word processing file for storage. I was able to do so using Windows Notepad and Wordpad, but encountered problems using Microsoft Word.

And that’s LockBox Pro in a nutshell. It’s a basic, “no-frills” data storage application that I’ve found to be adequate, reliable and easy to use. Its simplicity is what makes it attractive, but at the same time prevents it from performing those advanced features found in similar applications. If you’re looking for a solid, basic data-protection app, LockBox Pro is a viable contender.


ContactWord

ContactWord is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

ContactWord is based on a simple idea and a growing necessity.

Every day we need to create and remember more and more complex and robust passwords for the important websites we often use (banks, email, etc.) and we struggle to remember all of them or even generating good ones.
Storing a lot of passwords in a “wallet” behind another password still present a weak point of entry. Password rules like the first letter of the lyrics of a song, or character substitutions, still requires a certain degree of memorization.

ContactWord allow the user to perform a simple gesture (like selection an easy to remember contact from the address book, and from it, combined with the unique ID of the iPhone, generate a strong password.
Every time the user select that contact on that phone, the same password is generated.
No password is ever stored on the device.
If someone happens to use the same contact info on a different phone, a completely different password will be generated.
If someone steal your phone, the number of permutations required to find your password you use can be quite high (find the contact you used, find the right length and character combination) depending how good the user is at obfuscating the contact.

The app UI is kept simple to be fast and easy to use, while providing in one single page a clear indication of all the steps to follow.

Again, the basic idea is to use something easy to remember to generate a complex and robust password.
