Kryptos
This is a
great app for your iPhone 5 if you believe that you could benefit from knowing
that all your mobile phone conversations are secure, without the possibility of
your calls being listened into or intercepted. This may all seem a little over
the top for many of us and our day to day conversations but for some of us
whose business may require secure voice communications, Kryptos will provide
you with military-grade AES-encrypted phone calls. To ensure your privacy, both
the caller and the receiver will need to be using the Kryptos application which
is free to download but requires a $10 (about £7) per month subscription fee.
Norton Snap
This is an
app to protect you from malicious QR codes, which are the little boxes with
black and white pixelated patterns in. These are increasing being used by
companies on their promotional materials as a quick and easy way to direct you
to their website simply by scanning the code using a QR reader on your smart
phone. Unfortunately, hackers and criminals are recreating them but then
directing you to a malicious and potentially damaging website. The Norton Snap
app is a QR reader that allows you to review the URL that you are about to be
directed to before you visit the site, so that you get a chance to decide
whether or not you want to go to the site. The app also checks the URL against
a database of known fraudulent websites which is constantly being updated.
Find My Phone
This is a
great free app that you will definitely need to download to your iPhone 5 as it
may help you to track down your iPhone 5 and increase your chances of finding
or recovering it in the event that it has been stolen or mislaid. All you have
to do is log into Apple’s website and register that you want to find your phone
and it will then use your phones GPS to identify the location of your iPhone 5.
Foscam Surveillance Pro
If you like
the idea of being able to keep an eye on your home whilst you’re away, why not
take a look at the Foscam Surveillance Pro app which when used in conjunction
with an inexpensive IP camera and an internet connection will give you the
ability to do just that. The app will work with up to six different cameras
which can be displayed on your iPhones screen and if you’ve bought a camera
that can tilt and pan, you can even control this on your mobile using a virtual
onscreen joystick.
