iDiscrete – iPhone App Review
iDiscrete – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
iDiscrete ($1.99)
Version – 1.1
Review – “Keep prying eyes away from your important files!”
Whether you are working with top secret documents, or you just want to keep sales figures or private files safe, iDiscrete is an extremely useful app! The basic idea of iDiscrete is that most people will not even know what it is when they see it. You actually access the app by entering in a code using the hidden buttons on the “loading” screen.
When you open up iDiscrete for the first
time it tells you that you should read the tutorial information under the “settings” area of the app. While the information there is good, I didn’t really need most of it to figure the app out myself.
The first thing you’ll want to do when you open the app is set the security settings by touching the “Settings” button in the upper right corner and then touching “Protection Settings.” Once you enable protection you’ll need to set up your “Touch Sequence,” how long the app gives you to enter it and a “Reset Code.”
Once you have set up your security options when you open the app you’ll be greeted by a “Loading” screen. It’s at this screen that you enter in your “Touch Sequence” to open up the actual app. If you don’t enter the sequence in the time limit that you selected you’ll be taken to a screen titled “My Notes.” If for some reason you forget or cannot get your 
touch sequence to work all you have to do to reset your security settings is enter in the “Reset Code” that you have into the text box on this page.
The interface of the app itself is much like other file sharing apps that I have seen in the past. By default you have three different folders: 
“Images,” “Video,” and “Text.” You can modify these folders or add files or folders to the main folder by touching the button in the upper left corner.
Adding pictures and video can be done from the media in your camera roll, or you can also upload media from your computer via a simple web browser interface. You can also upload a variety of different types of documents to the app as well. The app supports all the formats you would expect from PDF and DOC files to just plain text. Unfortunately the only types of documents that you can edit within this app are paling text files.
The speed and ease of use are what really separate iDiscrete from a lot of other apps like it. It’s creative use of a “Loading” screen to log in to the app will also keep a lot of people from even attempting to gain access to this app. It also helps make logging into the app much quicker that other more traditional methods, as you’ll see in the embedded video below.
Whether you have personal reasons for keeping certain things safe on your phone, or you have professional interest in documents that you need to have on you all of the time, iDiscrete is a great solution! That, coupled with the fact that it’s available for just $1.99 will make this app a real must have for a lot of people. So what are you waiting for? Check out iDiscrete today and start protecting your documents!

Be ‘iDiscrete’ with Your Private Information
Be ‘iDiscrete’ with Your Private Information is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website
Price: $.99* Score: 9/10 By Anna Papachristos
Anyone who knows how to read directions can gain access to all the information on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Simply swipe to unlock, and there they will have access to everything you have stored within your device. Photos, videos, and text – they can see it all. So what happens when there are distinct items that you don’t want just anyone stumbling upon? Why, you store things iDiscrete-ly of course!
With iDiscrete by VoteQuimby, LLC, users can store all their photos, videos and text items, providing a new level of privacy that anyone would love to have, especially in the unlikely event that your iPhone or iPod Touch falls into the wrong hands.
To sign in, iDiscrete uses their patent-pending Touch Sequence protection instead of the password system other privacy protectors employ. Upon startup, users will be greeted with an ambiguous loading screen that will open after touching the screen in eight discrete locations. Users predetermine their touch sequence so they may set its ease or complexity. Make sure you remember your sequence, though, for iDiscrete will not open unless you input the exact assigned touch sequence. The fantastic part is, if an unauthorized user attempts to open iDiscrete, the Touch Sequence Timeout will activate and boot only a generic, text entry interface so outsiders will never suspect iDiscrete’s true purpose
Users can store photo, video and text files within iDiscrete. (For video functionality, however, users must be working with an iPhone 3GS or third generation iPod Touch.) You may move images or videos already stored on the device to iDiscrete or use the iDiscrete File Manager to transfer files via Wi-Fi. Simply connect to your web browser via your Wi-Fi connection to transfer files to and from your device.
Once you’ve signed in, the main screen will provide a list with Pictures, Videos and Text, each with a number beside them to indicate how many of each type of file you have stored. ‘Manage’ in the top left corner will allow you to edit, create a new folder, or add content. Tap on any category and you will be taken to your list, which you may either delete from or add to. Under Text, you may also create new text, which can be written right within iDiscrete.
Supported image file types include JPG, PNG, BMP and GIF. Supported video file types include MP4, M4V and MOV. Supported text file types include TXT, DOC, RTF, XLS, PPT and PDF.
On the main screen, in the upper right corner, users will find the ‘Settings’ button. Here, users can set their Touch Sequence preferences as well as choose to turn Multiple Selection on or off when it comes to transferring images from your Camera Roll. The Instructions are comprehensive and may just be the best part of the entire app, for they explain every single question you may have.
Also, iDiscrete openly reveals all the updates they have in the works right within their App Store description: direct image/video capture within the app, subfolders, drag-and-drop file/folder reorganization, and iPhone-to-iPhone transfer via Bluetooth. And, if you are having issues with iDiscrete or need help figuring out how to use a specific function, the customer support reiterates time and time again how willing they are to aid you with your questions and concerns.
*Price listed is available for a limited time only.
iDiscrete requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review.
