BitEncrypt uses solid 256-bit AES encryption; the same standard that the United States uses at a highly secret level.

BEAMY  BitEncrypt is a great idea and has a nice GUI, but it seems to have some problems and does not work with all files...

Why not making it open source, so that more people can help to improve it ?

CALIGULA  Alright macgeek914,

this will be my last word about it.

This is what happend to me: I wrote a letter to someone, 4 pages, decypted it with your _non-beta app_, deleted the original file cause it was a private letter, tried to open the encrypted file hours later at home to print it, - and could'nt open it anymore. So I lost my work and I wasn't in the best mood while I wrote my review.

I know that some files decrypt well, I tried it before, but some files don't.

So if you had feedbacks that there are problems with your app I think _you_ should warn your expected users about that, criticizing reviews isn't the right way you should handle that problem imho.

I'm not your enemy, I just don't like the risks your app brings to the users.

And please let _me_ choose if I want to spent the time to help you to bugfix your app, or just warn other users. I'm not a member of your team, freeware or not.

You can talk to the admin if you don't want to see negative reviews of your app here, maybe he will delete it for your pleasure.

But think of it.

Peace macgeek914.

MACGEEK914  I'm sorry you had those issues with the letter, and I found the cause of the issue in the program code. I am working on a fix and 1.3 will be out soon!

Sorry you lost the letter, have a nice day.

TICE  If you encrypt an .rtfd (which is a folder) you get no errormessage - BUT! if you decrypt it later the document is EMTY! That can be a bad awakening if you thought you could trash the original file.

CAREFUL!!

TRANCE  most of the comments below are correct ....i just tried it and i either got a "variable error" dialog or the one file i managed to encrypt and then decrypt became an empty blank file.

........i'd say you have a very good chance of losing your data with this app

BOBMAC  Macgeek914 - the new release (1.1) works just dandy on my MBP 10.5.4 - love the new interface. Thanks for the rewrite of this - it cleared up whatever weird problem I had with 1.0 and 1.0.1.

BOBMAC  I've installed version 1.0 and today 1.01 and can't get either to work - every time the dialog box tells me encryption failed and to contact the developer.

MACGEEK914  Hello bobmac, what type of file are you trying to encrypt? Did you try a different key?

MACGEEK914  Hi bobmac: Unfortunately I can't find any reason why the application won't perform correctly on your machine. All of my beta testers and myself have no issues with the encryption functions, and I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.4 too...

I'm extremely sorry about this, a complete rewrite of BitEncrypt is in the works.

TRONDAH  Huh? Ever heard of disk utility? It can create 256 bit AES encrypted disk images.

MACGEEK914  The purpose of BitEncrypt is not to create encrypted disk images, its purpose is to simply encrypt and decrypt files easily.

CALIGULA  What is this?

An unsecure security app?

Most files I tested won't decrypt.

went to the best place for it: the trash...

MACGEEK914  You could at least consider talking to us about how you are producing the problems before rating it poorly. That's a shame...
