Try rotor setting MEU (rotors I II II, rings in AAA position) and encode 'AAAA'. You should get GDXT but you instead get XDTT. This is because the rotor notches are not programmed correctly so the rotors don't move the way an actual Enigma does.
Confusing text says150 billion billion ways to setup (Enigma) is less than 403 million billion (Substitution)?! Reading Wikipedia might be better. Enigma machine setup needs instructions, Not clear what to do with tyre offset. Why is there a change machine option when there is only one machine listed? Need to set up again for every message.
I like the idea of being able to write our own messages in code, but please add a mode where we can attempt to decrypt messages the computer gives (on one of the easy ciphers), would make it a lot more fun
There seem to be a few glitches in the Enigma implementation but they don't spoil what is a fascinating and intriguing app
Brilliant, still needs work, but a brilliant app all the same please add Enigma instructions and in-app sending for codes, and make a Facebook page for it!!!
Makes it possible to try out different coding systems easily. Useful tool to base a fun activity for children on.
It's interesting and fun to use amongst friends, but enigma needs clearer instructions on how to use it.
Great idea. Gets kids invovled and hands on with something that will be an everyday thing in the future.
Pretty fun, but the enigma method doesn't work.
Doesn't support Alcatel One Pop Touch C7
Needs the ability to send the coded message to the recipient from within the app.
This is my type of stuff, love it!
Very interesting content and very creative presentation!
It's great, I'm only 11 but I can already master it
Besides tabs, Please release it for phones too...
Thanks GCHQ!
Very good thanks a lot
We want more!
Loved it.

As we move to a computing curriculum, children are learning about cryptography and how to create simple cyphers for themselves using computer programs. However the introductory stages - letter transferance is relatively difficult. The first few activities are really good but for younger children the Enigma needs more explanation - it wasn't as intuitive as some of the other material.
