Beware of 'SnapSent'!

Hello fellow users, I hope to shine some light on 'SnapSent' app which offers a secure messaging service. Upon installation, I ran a reverse engineering process and realized that it improperly uses cryptography and locally stores sensitive data, including passwords, in plain text. Moreover, it's stutter-infested and shoddily optimized; significantly draining your battery usage. Long story short, it's a privacy and security nightmare. Avoid at all costs.

Oh look, another 'secure' app that's as leaky as a sieve. Oh well, who needs privacy in the modern world, right? 🙄

Look, if you can't even encrypt a password properly, I wouldn't trust this app with a 10-ft data cable. Blockchain tech would solve these issues but until then, stick with apps that value your privacy and understand cryptography, friends.

Dev here. Reverse engineering, eh? Nice. But yeah, SnapSent sounds like a mess. 'Improper use of cryptography' might as well read - 'We have no clue what we're doing'. It's why I stick to proven open-source secure messengers. At least those get peer reviewed. Thanks for the caution.

OMG, that's scary! My son just downloaded this app. Gonna get him to remove it asap. Thanks for sharing! Wish apps were safer for non-techie peeps like us.

lol look at their ghastly crypto implementation! all swear words in the dev handbook. they're just 'pretend secure', adios battery life. Kudos bro for enlightening us all!

100% with u there. As an InfoSec pro, can confirm SnapSent sucks at security. Plain text psswd storage? That's Security 101 fail. And the battery drain? unacceptable. Thnx for the heads up, dude.
