– Seecrypt Mobile allows everyday people to make and receive unlimited calls and texts in complete privacy all over the world.

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, May 7, 2013 — Seecrypt Group Inc. announced today the launch of Seecrypt Mobile, a new software-only communications app which allows registered users to make and receive unlimited, secure voice calls and text messages in real-time between Seecrypt Mobile-enabled devices anywhere in the world.

Currently available for Apple and Android smartphones, Seecrypt Mobile has an easy-to-use interface, similar to popular social messaging apps. Seecrypt Mobile is a compelling privacy service that is simple to use, easy to share, and looks and feels like your favourite apps. But more importantly, the app protects your private conversations over any public network.

The number of smartphones in use globally crossed 1 billion for the first time last year and will double by 2015. “For smartphone users who value their privacy, Seecrypt Mobile provides an unmatched level of protection,” said Mornay Walters, CEO and Co-Founder of Seecrypt. “From personal to business users alike, whether at home or on the road, we think they’ll find the service invaluable.”

Using double layer, end-to-end, military-grade encryption techniques, Seecrypt users are given true privacy around the globe, wherever they might be. Each and every new call or message is encrypted on the device with a unique key. This affords peace of mind and maximum protection when communicating with another trusted Seecrypt user.

By using narrowband and adaptive voice compression, Seecrypt Mobile is extremely conservative on data usage, consuming data well below the current benchmark of standard voice applications. Seecrypt Mobile operates securely over any Internet-connected network worldwide, from Mobile (2G/EDGE, 3G, 4G/LTE) to Wi-Fi, and even Satellite Broadband networks, which allows for making data roaming calls more cost effective. This is a major benefit to users with poor cellular coverage or those who suffer on congested networks.

Encrypting real-time data and handling large volumes of users are both challenging and equally critical. “Creating a scalable encrypted voice-over-data application that can operate with minimal latency anywhere in the world is not easy,” said Walters. “Seecrypt met and surpassed this challenge by using a set of proprietary protocols and a carrier grade back-end infrastructure that operates on a privately controlled and globally deployed network.”

The Seecrypt Mobile app is available as a free download on Google Play and the App Store. All first-time users receive a three-month, no-obligation ‘free-to-use’ account. By participating in the referral program, users will earn an extra free month for each new subscriber referred, up to a maximum of one year free. Thereafter, unlimited service costs $3 a month.

About Seecrypt:

Seecrypt Group Inc. is a privately owned and funded software development company anchored in the Cayman Islands, with regional presence in the United States, Europe and Middle East. Development and network operations are located in Pretoria, South Africa.

My Data Manager for seeing where your data is going

Posted by Jim July - 19 - 2011 - Tuesday ADD COMMENTS

Living in South Africa and owning a smart phone can be a really expensive thing with the cost of data and how easy it is to burn through your allotted bandwidth at an alarming rate.

Whereas our previously reviewed ZDBox is a great tool for letting you know how much data you still have on your plan, It doesn’t take the next step and let you know where it’s all going. When installed it keeps track of your plan type (monthly or pay-as-you-go), amount of data included per month, and the 1st day of your billing cycle.

Whereas we strongly recommend that you don’t use data roaming while travelling (We’ve all heard the nightmarish stories of  bills in the tens of thousands of rands), This app will keep track of exactly how much you are using while roaming. From then on it will log your use of mobile data, roaming mobile data, and Wi-Fi data used.

You’re also able to set up 3 warnings for each of the categories (3G/Wi-Fi/Roaming) when they reach a certain amount of data. One small drawback—the app will not work if moved to an SD card. It only takes up 1.1mb of space, so this shouldn’t be a big deal for most users.

Where this app really shines is in recording what app is using how much data. So if you find that you’re running out of data on day 3 of the month, you can have a look at this app and see what’s chewing it all up.

My Data Manager is a free app with ads displayed for Android 2.2 or better. You can also buy a pro version without ads for R28.79.

Aparatus gets Amazon’s nod of approval

Posted by Jim June - 28 - 2011 - Tuesday ADD COMMENTS

Bithack has developed a game that brings back the days of “The Incredible Machine”, or “Tim” as it was called.

Apparatus, is an addictive, brainteasing game for your phone or tablet device. The only thing stopping you from getting the marble to it’s goal are the laws of physics and limits to your creativity.

You’ll begin the game with a few objects and a single goal: to deliver a marble to a blue, bucket-like container. You’re free to build any kind of machine you want with the materials you’re given, and creativity is essential.

You can also use the hammer or wrench tools to connect wooden planks, wheels, and other objects. Cables can be used to link up batteries to motors. You’ll need to build bridges, set up see-saws, swing with ropes, build rolling vehicles, or just give the marble a complex, Rube Goldberg-style roller-coaster ride.

You’ll sometimes need to create a fabulously complex mechanism for moving the marble a few centimetres and other times construct a sleek, efficient structure that’ll allow the marble to travel a for what seems like kilometres (okay, maybe just a few meters) in as few steps as possible. Whereas there’s no fixed way to complete all the levels, there’s usually one much easier way. But where’s the fun in that?

Once you’ve got your pieces in place, hit the “play” button at the top of the screen. This will kick start gravity and get the ball rolling, and then you’ll see how your creation stands up to the test of physics: if it falls apart, or the marble gets obstructed at some point instead of being delivered to the blue basket, you’ll know immediately that your machine will need more work.

Play Challenge Levels or Go Freestyle

There are two ways to play Apparatus: Either you can progress from level to level, as in a standard video game, or you can do your own thing and go straight to the Sandbox for free-build mode.

In conventional play, the early levels teach you how to play the game and go through some basic concepts, so you should probably do this first. The more you progress, the more freedom the challenge levels provide; many levels can be solved in many different ways. Of course, they also get more difficult as you go along.

If you don’t have the inclination (or patience) to face the challenge levels, why not just play around in the Sandbox and build whatever comes to mind? After touching the Sandbox prompt in the main menu, you’ll be presented with an empty level. All possible materials and tools will be at your disposal, and the only rule will be gravity. Here’s where you can really set your creativity loose.

Unfortunately the free-build mode is only available in the Pro version which costs around R13.84 (at current exchange rate).

 

 

Building the Community One Machine at a Time

If you’re really proud of one of your creations, share it with other Apparatus players. Every time you complete a level, you can go into free-build mode and modify the level however you like. If you make the level better, or just harder, you can upload it to the Community section and let other people play the modified level.

Same goes for your Sandbox. After you’ve created something amazing, log in to your free account and share the machine with anyone else out there. You can download and comment on other players’ creations, too.

And the nod from Amazon? Amazon are currently giving away the Pro version for free in their US-only Android market.

Apparatus has been verified to work on the following devices:
• Nexus One
• Samsung Galaxy S
• HTC Desire HD
• HTC Desire
• Samsung Galaxy Tab
• ZTE Blade

But they should work on any that have met the minimum requirements:
• A minimum processor speed of 600MHz
• A screen resolution of 800 x 480
• Android 1.6 (Donut)
