my 2 cents

I'm a tester now :) , can I get please a code too?

awesome work and app and ui by the way :D

i have some remarks and questions : first the splash screen like [MENTION=6098695]digitalpig82[/MENTION] said i would love to get that removed and straight to pin/fingerprint

can you implement the use of more than one fingerprint ? or/and use the fingerprints already in the phone ?

i noticed that when i encrypted a video and played it ( it decrypted it so i can watch it ) and when i decrypted it (and moved to original path) the first decrypted video was still in the phone and taking space !

is there a way to decrypt the files (using a softwarre like veracrypt etc) in pc ? or i can't use the files outside the app ? since i like to use my sd card in pc (faster speeds) !

i presume once you delete the app all the encrypted data is lost forever is there any way to prevent that ? like deleting the app without the data ? or asking wich to delete when uninstalling .

saw that you offer cloud syncing wich is a great feature but is the data sent to the clouds in the encrypted or unencrypted form ? and can i access those files from a pc for example ?

edit1 : it says i haven't verified my accont while i'm sure i did (please fix that) , and add to the poll Marshmallow and nougat :D !!

edit2: your official website doesn't seem to be working , the app asks for root but you don't explain what does root priviliges give exactly

edit3 : is there a possibility to auto encrypt the pics/videos taken by the phone instead of each time entering the app ?

and one last question what's the difference between your app and EDS for example ?
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks for the in-depth feedback.

1) Yes, there is a small bug in the backend because of which the email verification status is no updating. The only solution is to sign-out and sign-in again. We are working on a permanent fix for the problem.

2) Do you have the Facebook app installed on your device?

3) We have no control in this and is not a bug in the app. The purchases are handled via Google Play so it is the best and the safest option to pay. We will stick to Google Play In-App purchases and subscriptions only. You might want to add a credit card or an international debit card.

4) Password resetting is a basic functionality that is needed in any account-based app. If you forget your password then what do you do? Maybe we will make resetting password a bit more difficult so that not anyone can reset the password easily. Good suggestion.

5) You cannot change your email id in the app. This is the basic identifier that it needed to identify a particular user. If you register a new account with a new email id, then it's a completely fresh account with no relation to the previous account.

Do let me know if you have any more queries. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Sorry for that minor issue. We have improved the timing of the message and it should be available in the next update. Thanks for the suggestion. Will wait for some more awesome suggestions from you. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks for your feedback. Glad to know if liked it so much over many others. Do let us know if you have any specific suggestion. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
I have PMed you the details of the promo code. It has been a couple of days since you have started using the app, how do you feel about it overall? Your feedback will be valuable to us to improve the app further. :D
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Yes surely. I have sent you the promo code details via PM. Also let me know if the app is working for you? Any feedback or suggestions? :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
No, there is and will be no way to disable the splash screen. :) And it is not unnecessary at all. We have not placed a splash screen just for the sake of placing it. There are lots of operations going under the hood when you are waiting for the splash screen to load. This initial loading of the necessary data is what makes the app work so smooth. :D

Yes, as mentioned it is a "promotional offer" for all XDA members so it can't be for a lifetime. If you like the app, you may wish to purchase the premium version for support the hard work we put in making it.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks for your feedback. What is the problem that you are facing with the device-sensitive feature?

It is actually there to protect others from copying even the encrypted files to some other device and decrypt them there.

Let me explain it to you a bit. Suppose you encrypt some files using Andrognito. A friend of yours, who is unable to crack your PIN, somehow finds the encrypted secure containers outside of this app. He takes those files to his own device where ha already has got Andrognito installed and decrypts everything.

Is that what you would expect? :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks for finding this little typo. We have already fixed it. Please keep yourself updated with the latest version of Andrognito.

Please let us know if you have some more suggestions. [emoji4]
[Android Apps and Games] Byteater:
If I have to encrypt a file on Google drive, this couldn't be viewed on another android device, which, in fact, defeats the cloud purpose [emoji4]
[Android Apps and Games] CAL7:
Yes, please provide a link.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Can you share some details about this security/algorithm? What is it composed of? How do I make sure it is safe?

What if I need to recover my data from an unbootable phone and can't access it because of the "per device" security?
[Android Apps and Games] CronosTech:
Shouldn't there be an option to hide apps or lock apps too. I mean that would make it a complete package wouldn't it ???
[Android Apps and Games] kharkory:
Nice App
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
The three suggestions you gave are really outstanding. We would try to bring them in the future updates pretty soon.

Thanks a lot. Is there anything more that you would like to recommend? [emoji4]
[Android Apps and Games] pollob666:
Multiple file UnHiding

when I am Locking a file, I can select multiple files but when I want to unlock, I have to do it one by one. This is a pain for me, as I have accidentally ( used select all for testing :( ) hidden 300+ files. :( bummer

I am missing the option for selecting multiple files to unhide together.
[Android Apps and Games] mihir_s9:
Have a fixed vault/filder/files location

Suggestion

I have used a few hide files apps, one thing common to all is the ability to have a vault / file location for backup purposes...i couldn't find that in this app, pls add that or add some kind of a backup feature ...

anything...even cloud backup is gr8...dropbox/ google drive/anything
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I must appreciate that you have a very keen eye in looking at apps.

I would try to implement all your suggestions in the upcoming updates. But about your first point, we have implemented the file browser part as a Fragment and not as a new Activity. That's our design pattern, I would say.

So, that will not be changed I guess, but still pressing the back button would take your to the previous screen as you suggested. :)

And I would like to talk to you about certain things, as you are a developer too. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Yes, its a nice app I must say. We also have a lot of plans for app hiding, password protection and many other cool features for apps too. Keep a look at Andrognito. :)

How do you compare your work with this one?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2704486

There has been a long reputation of it on xda, even if it is alpha. Me myself has been a user of it , and seeing your new work, wonders what yours is different from that.

Oh, and would you open your source also? This makes user more sure of the safety of your app rather than mere words "three layers encryption"
[Android Apps and Games] SuppliedRelic:
I am also interested in how your security measures compare to ones offered by the reputable Secrecy app.

The only way to know if a security app is truly trustworthy is for the code to be open source.

You should detail what type of encryption algorithms your app uses instead of saying "Advanced 3-Layer Encryption Engine" which says nothing about how reliable the encryption protocols are.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Yes, this is a known issue actually. Will soon work on a fix for this. Thanks for reporting. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Currently, this app's UI is not optimized for the tablets. We will soon be releasing a Tablet optimized UI.:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] CAL7:
I installed the apk on my Z2T. Works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
These are some really good suggestions, I would say. We would try to take up your recommendations and work on that way soon. Thanks a lot. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Olivia750:
A very good thing for personals pics videos etc privacy
[Android Apps and Games] digitalpig82:
Alright, thanks for the reply. If the time in the beginning is necessary for operations to be processed, then I'm happy to look at the (quite nice, btw) splash screen instead of a blank window to get filled with content. ;) No problem, thanks for clarifying.

And yes, I'm totally with you. I purchased many pro versions of apps I use regularly, I was just curious. :cowboy:

Thanks again for the offer. I wish more developers would do this as the customer gets a much better impression of what an app is really capable of this way. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] |mickey:
Hello :)

I'm gonna give the app a try too, it look very promising.. what type of "military grade" encryption are you using? that is if u can share the information. I'm nearly sold eheh seems to beat the competition by miles, but lets see how the testing goes... will start adding files tonight.. still have to make the loud account tho...

edit: what are the advantages of granting the app root access? why does it need it?

thx for the clarification!!
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Guys, a new update is available which brings lots of enhancements to the app overall. Please update to Beta 13 and let me know how it works for you. If you find any issues please let me know here.
[Android Apps and Games] bingoo1:
nvm
[Android Apps and Games] Mahnsinn:
Hi, I just checked out your app and it looks promising, wanted to catch your offer about the beta testing. I registered and account and am already signed up for Beta testing. Is this offer for the promo code still available? Greets
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks for the feedback. I have sent you the details of the promo code via PM. Please check. Let's get to your feedback points one-by-one.

1) No, this is not possible. The splash screen is there for a reason. There are lots of heavy-lifting done the hood when the splash screen is shown. Lot's of important stuff are already loaded during this time so that the rest of the app works fast and smooth.

2) Currently, the Android API doesn't support identifying individual fingerprints. There are unofficial ways of doing so, but you never know when they stop working. So its better to wait for Android to provide official support for identifying fingerprints. And yes, we are using the registered fingeprints from your phone only. Just try it.

3) No this ain't a bug. You can now check and the file would not be there. When you are previewing an encrypted file, it is temporarily decrypted in a "Temp" folder. It will be automticaly deleted when you quit the app or restart the app again. It's not permanent, please try it again and let me know.

4) No, we don't support 3rd party softwres to decrypt files from Andrognito. Files encrypted using Andrognito can only be decrypted using Andrognito and your account.

5) No this presumption is wrong. Did you try it? Or are you just assuming it? Even if you uninstall the app, all your files are safe in your local storage. You can install the app again andn login with the same account and all your files will be there. But if you delete the "Androgntio 3" folder from your storage, then your files will be lost unless you have backed them up in Andrognito Cloud Storage.

6) Thanks. All data are first encrypted in your device itself and then sent to the cloud. So there is absolutely no way for the server to decryopt your data as it doesn't even know the key. Its a Zero Knowledge system with full end-to-end encryption.

7) Yes, this is a known bug. You can just logout and login again to fix it. We are working on a permanent fix btw.

8) Which offical website are you talking about? And yes we will be putting more information on what root mode actually does in the app.

9) No, it is currently not possible. But we have plans of implementing a camera feature in the app ltself, so that any pictures you take with this camera will automatically get encrypted.

Thanks a lot for your awesome suggestions. Please let me know if you have any more. :)
[Android Apps and Games] |mickey:
You forgot to elaborate on the type of encryption used or why root is needed... I hope you understand I'm not insisting because I want a quarrel but simply because I care about the security of my files, and clearly security by obfuscation is the same as playing Russian roulette...

Can you please elaborate on those questions? I'm loving the app by the way :D

edit: hummm can't add a password... no matter what I write there's alwaysa prompt saying invalid password...

edit 2: I can help translate the app to Portuguese if you need it...
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thank you. Do let me know if you are interested in trying out the app and want a promo code? :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Yes absolutely. We will eventually come up with more promotional offers also some offers for trying out the cloud storage as well.

If you have any more feedback or suggestions for the app, don't hesitate to let me know. We are actively trying to improve the app. :)
[Android Apps and Games] |mickey:
Hi, could you please reply to me? I'd like to beta test too if you're still taking ppl to try the app too...

Shame you couldn't take the time to reply to my previous simple questions...

Anyway, I've been having issues, as setting up a password even if "abcde" without the " will not work at all and you can see what happens in the next screenshot... On top of that if I insisted a few more time the app will freeze and display a" cannot retrieve your data at the moment, please try again later message, in a pop up box... I couldn't get a screenshot of this last pop up since the phone simply froze...

Let me know if I can help troubleshoot the issue..
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Hang on buddy. There is nothing to get too excited about. Just wait patiently, we would have replied to your question eventually. If you follow the thread, you can see that we have responded to each and every member with time. So there is nothing to be "shameful" about. All other members have always waited patiently and so should you. :)

Btw, you are doing a simple mistake here. You can not use passwords like "abcde" in a strong security app. It needs to be a proper mixture of uppercase, lowercase, digits, a special character among @,#,$,%,_ and must be between 6 to 30 characters in length.

There comes a "CHECK RULES" button (showing the details of the password rules) beside the "Invalid Password" message. Sad to know that it is not coming for you. So that's a bug and we will fix it in the next release

And about the app freezing, this seems to be weird. This is the first time I am hearing that the app simply froze. It would be great if I can get more information and screenshots about the problem so that I can debug it. For the time being, I would recommend you to restart your device and start the app from fresh again. Pretty sure you won't see the problem again. :)
[Android Apps and Games] |mickey:
Hello again,

ok I'll 2wait for the clarification regarding the previous questions then... glad you could find a bug from my experience already. Is there anyway I can save logs regarding app activity? I ask because screenshots wont be an option if that situation repeats itself, the phone froze so hard I could take screenshot or anything else...

I will follow your advise and start fresh, if it happens again I'll try to bring more info, like app that were running etc..

I did the abcde etc to make the screenshot, I used a much harder pass with 12 characters... I like my privacy mate, I wouldn't be sloppy on the password here... and that's the same reason why I requested earlier to know the reason for root usage on this app, as apparently, for what I could tell so far it's doing nothing the user can see...

thx again for your reply...
[Android Apps and Games] bingoo1:
bug

i sent you this in pm but maybe you didn't see it so i'm reposting here :

When you open the app the last 2 characters of the email are hidden so that it is more secure (which is good ) but once you enter the Andrognito folder your email is fully shown as a folder !
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
It used AES-256 as the base algorithm for encryption. Moreover, it uses custom built cipher input/output streams for much faster encryption and decryption speeds.

Thanks for the appreciation mate. The root permission is optional and not mandatory at all. You can grant it the root permission so that it can operate with elevated privileges. It makes the file transfer operations much faster and also increases the reliability of encrypting/decrypting files to/from the SD card.

Sometimes in some devices and OS versions, even after encryption, the original files stays right there. But with root permissions, it is ensured that the original files will be purged properly.

There is nothing too fancy we are doing with the root permission, so we have decided to keep it optional. Hope this clears your doubt. Do let me know if you have any more doubt. :)
[Android Apps and Games] |mickey:
Thx for clearing that up... May I suggest you had an explanation about why the app needs root, in the app, or atleast in playstore discription? I think it's best to clarify these things as people who look for an app with proper encryption will be hold back by the app asking for root and not knowing what for. ;)

I'd like to offer my assistance if you need help with translating to Portuguese, I'm rather busy this time of year, but come January things will quiet down and I could take a few hours a day to do it...

I've reinstalled the app, following a ROM reflash and tonight will be setting it up, lets hope I can enter the password this time, instead of a pin. I'll try to screenshot everything if something goes wrong! :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
What do you mean buddy? :D
[Android Apps and Games] bingoo1:
Oh no i didn't find delete accidental post so i wrote nvm instead of "."
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks. Absolutely, the offer is still in place. Have sent you the details of the promo code via PM as well. Would love to have a feedback from you. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks for letting us know. But this ain't a bug and probably won't be changed. But would have a discussion with my team if we really need to do something about this. :)

[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
No, the app is currently available on Android only. Have plans to bring it on iOS as well. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
If you have any more queries, don't hesitate to let me know. In case, I have missed something to clarify. And you are using the app for a couple of days now, are you facing any issues? We are going to move the app out of beta soon, so do let me know. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Hey folks, we will be ending the beta testing phase very soon, so if I have missed out giving promo codes to someone here, please let me know by leaving a comment here. This promotional offer will not be available after the app goes out of beta. So, hurry up! :D
[Android Apps and Games] kiva1:
I'm on the beta, but I have not asked for code.

would you sent to me?

Edit : just got the beta !! OMG the interface is super :D Will report more about functioning when I finish testing

Thanks for the awesome app. Really appreciate your hard work:)

Edit2: Working as expected. Couldn't find any bugs in normal working. I'm using cm 14.1 on Asus Zenfone 2 Laser

[Android Apps and Games] CynoMan:
1.Hey, if i encrypt something and due to some reason, have to uninstall and then reinstall the app ,will it recognise the encrypted files again?

2. For the "Set Lockdown duration", can we have lower time periods or better user supplied period? I feel the lowest 15 mins option is a little long

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

Possible bug - For some reason it's not showing my 2 video files that I encrypted.

1. Yes I clicked the vault in which the file was stored from the left slide menu. It shows empty under all files Tab and video Tab.

2. Yes I clicked "files" section in the left slide menu. Still blank

3. Tried setting default vault . Still blank

So..... What's up that?

Screenshots attached

Patiently waiting for the code :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
I just saw you had an issue, so let's focus on that for now and get it done urgently. I will respond to all your other queries later on for sure. :)

Problem -

You have encrypted 2 files which are not shown right? When you open the navigation drawer from the left you can see the "Files" count to be 2. So your files are there.

Solution -

Open the navigation drawer from the left as usual. Click on the small down arrow beside your name and email address. This opens up the list of vaults you currently have. Please take a screenshot and send it to me.

Now you can see the vaults that you currently have in your account. Click on the vault name that should 2 files beside it. Now your files should be shown as usual.

Do let me know if you still have any issue. Also send me the screenshot or post it here so that I can debug the issue and ensure it never happens in future.

Will surely get back to your other queries soon. Thank you. :D
[Android Apps and Games] CynoMan:
Here is the screenshot. But I already tried that and it doesn't work:(

The files are there in the storage (screenshot attached). Can't figure, why they won't show up :( up
[Android Apps and Games] CynoMan:
Don't know what happened, but..... It's displaying my videos correctly now . Yay :D:D !! Thanks for your prompt support.
