I just want to sincerely thank all the developers and people associated with this app. It has so much great information and is a real godsend.
Lessons won't load regardless of reinstallation or updating in the setting.
No lessons. No help. No tutorial for setup.
Installed it, it asked me if I wanted to have the app pretend to be a calculator. Hit okay. Couldn't work out how to get it out of being a calculator. Uninstalled because I already have a calculator.
When installed it cannot open, what has gone wrong? Help.
App expects a password upon first load after install. Password reset feature failed when tried.
App expect pass but resetting pass fail
the dashboard will not accept any city/country. how do I get this info entered? Do you have a help forum?
I want to try this app
Hihgly recommended How can i install it on my computer with windows 7
Has great potential, though the app FCs too frequently (i.e., "Deleting files" > Checklist) to be practical. Some information is outdated, but this is to be expected as security and privacy is a journey (and therefore constantly changing), not a destination (set it and forget it). Overall, this app could be very useful and informative and has great potential —it just needs work.
Outdated information, some suggested apps are unavailable and the suggested OS (Cyanogenmod) is no longer updated and difficult to find for *older* phones.
Good idea and well recommended but doa on my galaxy s7 - just a red screen with an umbrella even with uninstall and reinstall. Willing to try a new release when it comes out.
This app makes way too many assumptions to be useful. Maybe it helps somebody but following some advice here without explicitly knowing those assumptions will get people hurt. Security still isn't easy.
Security made easy?? Surely that is a joke! If you have an hour or so to spare every time you want to sort out your security and you don't have a life.. This heap of crap is for you
So much information that is useful for aid workers and just good to know in general. I love it, thanks!
An app with these intentions and excellent implementation is a welcome sight in today's world where our data's security is sold to the highest bidder or taken from dark organisations. I'm delighted to see it and hope it stays honest and true to it's goal over time.
THE go-to app for both professionals and beginners travelling into areas of instability/insecurity. The checklist at the end of each section consolidates the beginner's new knowledge and reaffirms the pro's procedures, as complacency has no place in the security environment. Constantly fed with industry best practice and real-time vital information for those in-situ.
Have it if your security personal and social is conpromised or you wish to reduce the risk. 5 out of 5!
Extremely useful resource for those who need tips on securing their communications and person.
All I would say to be added is a part where you can plan directly on the app, where it can assist you, like a questionnaire, or a check list. Other then that I think it's an amazing app.
