Description

New beta version available! Signup here: https://surespotencryptedmessenger.blogspot.com/search/label/beta

Be sure no one else can see your messages. Use surespot and everything you send can only be read by the person you sent it to. Period. Everything sent using surespot is end-to-end encrypted with symmetric-key encryption (256 bit AES-GCM) using keys created with 521 bit ECDH shared secret derivation, but you wont notice because security in surespot is built-in, not a layer over something else. Be confident sending private information and pictures, you have control over your messages, when you delete a sent message it will be removed from the receiver's phone and images are not shareable unless you make them so. Multiple identities allow you to be who you want with just who you want, and if anyone gets annoying you can block them. Surespot does not require or store your phone number or email address and we don't mine your data, no advertisements here!

Encrypted Voice Messaging. If your eyes or hands are busy, your keyboard too cumbersome, or you just want to say it instead of type it- voice messages are sent with the same exceptional end to end encryption as the rest of your surespot messages. Simply hold down the microphone button to record your voice message and release to send. Activate the feature from within surespot to start sending voice messages (it is free to receive and play them) and enjoy speaking freely.

Surespot uses your mobile data plan and Wi-Fi so you don’t get texting charges, especially important for those friends in other countries.

Surespot clients are OPEN SOURCE software, this creates transparency and invites peer review so you can be confident in our claims. If you wish to contribute/review you can find us on GitHub listed under 'surespot'.

Great App. And really great idea I don't use it too much as my friends aren't on it. But I love the fact your own messages disappear from both devices when you delete them. One word of advice though. Generating new keys pairs will render your previous backup saves useless. So always backup immediately after doing that.

Could not create an account It said the username I wanted was available. I tried registering it and it sad ir failed and try again later. I tried again and it said it was taken. Did this with multiple usernames.

Eric Prescott

Great, when it works My preferred chat app but server issues are often slow in getting fixed. For instance, over the last 24 hours many of my sent messages never made it to their recipient despite showing as sent. Others had the same issue until we all finally gave up and switched apps. This sort of thing happens too often. If reliability improves, we'll be back.

It's great! Working fantastically. I would love a feature that shows if the message has been delivered and read, but that is low on the list of priorities I had for a secure messaging app, surespot checked all the boxes except that one! Especially not having to sign up with my phone number! Thanks for making a fantastic, easy to use app.

Sam Anderson

Great but ... I wish more people would use this but that is not the case, the surespot team should rework the GUI. It should have been updated a long time ago. It can attract more users.

wont let me make account every username i pick, even if it shows up as available always ends with an error message saying its picked, noticed someone else was having this issue in recent reviews

Poor design The paid feature for voice texts cuts off messages at 10 seconds. Very disappointing. Uninstalling. Refund demanded.

Jeremy Detheridge April 20, 2016

Everything works I was having a photo issue, support have fixed that bug making surespot faultless for me

surespot November 17, 2015

Can you email us at support@surespot.me so we can suss out what's going on with that.

Maro Meyer September 16, 2016

Muneerah Mollagee May 2, 2016

I have to pay for voice messenger? No thanks

Pitbull Lover September 6, 2016

Will anybody like to help me test this?

Jynx Swag May 29, 2016

Good app Seems to do what it says

Neerja Kambil July 16, 2016

Awesome!

Gina Ciavarella April 19, 2016

Surespot It's an awesome app!!! If you don't want the whole world in you business or "big brother" listening in.... Check out surespot

Test Pro March 25, 2016

Love this app It's quick simple and encrypted! Is there an easy way to swap between accounts though? I can reply from any account I received a message from instantly, but I have to log out and log in again to compose a message from a different account. Thanks Are the servers down at the moment? Having trouble signing in and connecting.

surespot March 31, 2016

Thanks! For now you can make the accounts friends with each other and send a message to the one you want to switch to then open surespot from the notification for that user. Adding "fast user switching" is in the backlog.

Gregory Jensen January 3, 2016

Semi-Reliable May Still be the Best Though Self destructive messages still hasn't happened. Free voice messages still hasn't happened. Now push notifications don't work despite clearing cache, data, rebooting phone, and making a new ID. Update: Push notifications work now, it's been a week or two. It's nice they work now but I've become weary of the app. Changed to 4* from 3* anyways.

Robert Revan December 1, 2015

Great app thanks for making. Daniel Johnstone, you are a complete idiot. Great app, sorry people like Daniel Johnstone below are so freaking dumb they blame you, not the actual Terrorist who orchestrated and committed such brutal acts. Screw Daesh! I guess by his logic Henry Fords is responsible for every person who use cars in terrorism. Great app screw the NSA! And screw Daesh!

Sergi Pcm November 17, 2015

private doesnt mean criminal this is a great app to protect privacy and can be used for many things; like a knife can be used for cooking or killing or even a peace of wood can warm you or kill someone. How can u guys be so narrow minded? Leaving your freedom in hands of the government; with the promise of protection; can only lead to abuse and control. Life is fragile, freedom is hard and can be used for good & bad accept it, but be brave and a man and don't behave like a small child who is afraid of the world!!!

Nearly perfect Ui is terrible, terrible enough that I can't get my friends to use it. My iPhone friends tell me the iOS version makes their phone act unstable(?) Idk, iPhones....... absolutely love that it's local only and easy to completely destroy your account with no option of recovery! This app is great though IMHO it's the best of its kind. Fix the iOS issues and update the UI and I will give 5 stars!

Daniel Johnstone November 17, 2015

Good job idiot's Idiots allow Isis scumbags to plot attacks with this app!! Great job Sure spot you F-ing morons! !

September 17, 2016

Stuck In The Past An app with great potential but stuck very far in the past. This app had all the features no other app had but has not been updated to match the times

Question for developer Great app. What exactly sets surespot apart from these by Edward Snowden recommended encoded messenger apps: SIGNAL WICKR TELEGRAM ? We all (your potential clients) truly want to find out which of them is the most secure app and more importantly WHY. Thanks in advance for responding. Cheers

surespot December 29, 2015

Signal needs phone number. Compare signal permissions vs surespot permissions. Show us wickr source code 100% of ours is here: https://github.com/surespot. Telegram implementation ridiculed by expert cryptographers.

E Dubbz November 17, 2015

Dumb f*cks like Daniel Johnstone I suppose car manufacturers are to blame for accidents too, you thick, naive, divisive, excuse for a person.

Kristina Koenig November 17, 2015

Awesome, secure app Awesome and secure; works great for messaging and sending images. Eager for group chat features! Thank you for providing a safe and secure messaging option!

Rex Or February 7, 2016

Good Note 5: It's a good app, it could be a bit slicker, but the only problem is that no one uses it, or there's no way of linking anyone to your profile besides the QR Code.

Aseem Pathak December 3, 2015

Black screen after account creation I can't do anything after that :/

surespot December 29, 2015

Please email support@surespot.me so we can trouble shoot.

Dennis Dreo January 24, 2016

No Auto Logout I just wish it had an auto logout tomake it really secure and private.

April 19, 2016

Fantastico! Era proprio quello che cercavo, fuori dal monopolio facebook, instagram, what's up e chissa' che altro e chiave asimmetrica. Messaggi, immagini e voce ...tutto cifrato! Ottima anche la possibilita' di cancellare i propri messaggi nel tel del destinatario

gdn wen November 24, 2015

its a good app but its to simple and dont have group chat function.

Michael Rubery October 16, 2015

Nice Easy to use and works well when unchallenged

Alex Patrenko January 8, 2016

Notifications Notifications are not working...

Ro S April 16, 2016

Works

Rich Howe September 25, 2015

Given the developers recent response to these allegations I recant my statement and I now consider this application completely secure to use

Excallent Very good service and most importantly encrypted!! Keep up the good work!!

Kevin Landreneau May 2, 2015

Surespot, Surely one of the few I trust I don't remember what attracted me to this application the first time, but ever since I first installed it, no matter how many apps i try, i keep coming home to.Surespot. Obviously, if the NSA with their Quantum Computers would want to crack the encryption, they could surely do it; however, an anonymous analyst i know responded, "but all you really need to do is avoid the initial red flag by the recognition software (that SMS go thru) and itll never be looked at again. SO SIMPLE TO BE SOOO SAFE!!!!!

Joost Houtbeckers April 30, 2015

Best messenger ever Surespot definately is the best messenger I have ever used. As I am privacy paranoid, I feel really safe knowing that no one can read my messages (as the NSA and such can with WhatsApp etc). Notifications did not work for me at all until about a month ago. Everything works fine now and I even got my mother to use it now! Thumbs up and keep going this way Surespot, you have my respect. One thing that you could change in the future: the interface looks like it's designed for android 2.3 or something, I don't really like that but that's all.

Antti Ranta March 26, 2015

Open source IM with PGP like security features Surespot is a free and end-to-end encrypted instant messenger for Android and iOS. Both clients and the server are open source. No phone numbers are needed for registration (though this can be also a drawback for larger adoption). Everything is end-to-end encrypted by default so the user does not have to make the decision or effort to do it (apart from verifying long term keys). Biggest drawbacks are the lack of a group chat, no support for multi device syncing and no perfect forward secrecy in the protocol. Also I am not aware of any audits on the code but at least it is open for anyone to see. In conclusion Surespot is a good open source option if you are satisfied with similar security as in PGP but if you want something more modern like forward secrecy and encrypted group chats there are other open source alternatives that deliver those.

Con Lew June 18, 2015

Other than the Credial Storage problem I've been having I uninstall it and reinstall once its worked ok, now it's doing it again asking me for my Creditial Storage password, but it keeps says its not a correct password. Other than this, It's an awesome App. Help, I've don't the remove password keychain in global options but then I always need to log in again. Helppppppppp!!............................. HELLO????????

Apha Ann March 15, 2015

👎Don't waste 💲in-app purchase does NOT work Dev should have created a regular paid and a free app, instead of in-app purchase for voice feature full of bugs. More users are having same inapp voice purchase issue, it doesn't work! I already tried dev advice it does not work. Research shows that this is a surespot code issue. Make it a paid app or fix in app purchase bugs. I paid for the voice message and it says "surespot voice message not purchased" This is a ripoff! On top of that dev support is useless and they don't want to fix issue👎

surespot April 4, 2014

We know that others enjoy that surespot is free to use. We would be glad to refund your order but would rather get your encrypted voice messaging working. Please contact us at support@2fours.com. Thanks!
