Criptext Secure Email

Oliver Clothes Off

Wow this may very well be changing the game for email privacy. Email is pretty much the least private way to communicate. But these guys have a whole different approach that replaces all the weak aspects with super strong privacy and security minded processes. One of a kind and a hell of a good find!

Simple and secure. I know a lot of people gets scared when they are told emails are stored locally, but yet they still sync across all your devices. This is for me the best and most secure email service I've used ever. I'm very concern about my privacy, so this is a perfect solution. I'm in the process of moving from Gmail to this great service. The only thing I'll suggest to improve is to allow users to set a password for the automatic drive backup as you are able to do with local backup option

Loved this app from the minute I installed it. The concept is perfection. Two small things that make it almost unusable for me as a user on multiple devices though: 1. Drafts don't sync across devices (I use 4 different devices and don't always finish emails right away). 2. I often get 'content unencrypted' instead of the message body when opening mails on subsequent devices. Apk is running on galaxy s7 and desktop apps are used on windows 10. A fix would be much appreciated. Edit: Nice, cheers!

Started off as a truly excellent app, but just recently over the past few weeks there have been more and more problematic actions (or in actions! ) that this app is performing. For example, I open the app and then try to open any email and the app inexplicably stops and closes and I get an option to report this. This had happened countless times, I have made many reports and yet it is still a problem. I am uninstalling the app now until Criptext can assure me that this problem is dealt with.

Allthe Way

Initially I gave a positive review but now there's too many things wrong with the app. There's just too many bugs atm which is a serious security issue. App will open up to an email when you haven't even fully entered your password. Then there's the issue of when you try to correct a saved incorrect email address the app just reverts back to the incorrect one. Did contact app dev but they don't seem too interested. Will be uninstalling app an going back to a proper secure email provider.

Complete garbage, so many bugs its not worth going over. I fully regret transferring my life over to criptext email addresses. "Criptext doesn't store your emails in its servers. Instead, your entire inbox is stored exclusively on your device." ... than why can't I view any emails in airplane mode? It says 'failed to fetch emails'...

Amazing app in theory, in practice it almost seems like abandonware. The latest email they sent everyone didn't really fill me with confidence either. However, I think in the end something could come of this. Assuming it's not abandoned, that is. The latest email the developers sent out can be read at Reddit, and I'd suggest checking it out before you sign up for Criptext.

I loved the app and i loved the service. The desktop app needs some improvement such as support for multiple accounts and a more flat monotone interface. But overall i love the app, this is exactly what i want from Email Services. You should create a self-hosted webmail type software so that it can run headless on a local always-on device like a raspberry Pi.

It's great for secure emails but when you use the dark theme the emails become incredibly frustrating to read, must implement a fix for this, possibly force the email's contents to specific colours or just redesign the dark theme background of the email to be a slightly lighter greyish colour so you can read the contents clearer. I don't want to give this 2* because it is a good app but if you can't clearly read your emails that's a huge problem and the light theme is blinding.

First is the spelling problem.. Criptext sounds strange and difficult to communicate to others, cause people think of normal spelling: "cryptext", which means encrypted (via "y", not "i"). Secondly, backing up to gdrive is like saying good bye to whole idea (which is to keep your mails with you only). Alright, there is a local backup option. But your fake .db file is not compatible with any database viewer! How do I view my mails if, suppose, after few years your app is no more? Uninstalling.
