We all have heard that a picture can hold a thousand words, but why not secrets? Have you ever wanted to send something to your friends or romantic partners secretly without anyone else knowing? With Concealment these questions are answered!

Concealment allows one to take a picture and hide inside of the image a secret message and up to three hidden images (image function not included in Lite version). These images can then be stored on the in app photo library, the device photo library, iMessaged (iOS 5), or be emailed directly to whomever one is sending the message to.

Anyone viewing the photo now will just see a plain innocent picture, while only the people you tell will know the secrets that lie within. To view the secret within, the recipients must have Concealment or its Lite version. For enhanced security, one can place a password on the hidden contents of the image to further hide your secret.

Features of the Lite Version:
-Select any picture from the clipboard, device photo library, or from the camera to hide a secret inside!
-Compose a message of 128 characters to hide inside of the image, away from prying eyes!
-Secure your secret with a password!
-Store the created secret image inside of the in app photo library to hide the hidden image from the device photo library. From here, besides viewing the image, you can send the image to someone over email or save it to the device photo library.
-Share your secret by sending the created image through email or iMessage (iOS 5) to your friends or loved ones!
-If your friends or loved ones don’t have this app, they can download Concealment Lite for free, to view any messages/images that you send them!
-When viewing a secret that has been sent to you from someone else’s picture, you can save to your photo library any of the hidden images for later viewing!
-Universal app for iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone!

NOT Included in the Lite version:
-Compose a message of ANY LENGTH to hide inside of the image, away from prying eyes!
-Add an additional three images to hide inside of the base image to share those precious moments!
-One can choose whether or not to watermark their image to let others know a secret is inside! Custom watermarks are available.
-Scramble your message in case of interception! *only works with short messages*
-No Ads!

With Concealment Lite, you are able to give your friends or loved ones a message and view for free any messages that have been sent to you, without anyone else ever suspecting a thing.

Feel free to send me any suggestions that you may have for the app or any questions that you may have. Any reviews would be much appreciated!

Note: For this app to read any photos from the device photo library and to save the secret inside of the image, location services must be turned on. This is needed to grant the app access to the photo library. This app does NOT collect your location information in any way. Any image processing will cause the hidden message/image to be lost. To share images, use email and select “Actual Size” when sending. For texting the image, only iMessage will keep the concealed message intact, regular text messaging modifies the image.

*DISCLAIMER: Note that Concealment is meant for personal recreational use and not for professional use. Sending personal information such as credit card numbers and other sensitive data is not recommended. Anything that you hide inside of an image is done so at your own risk and at your own choice and we cannot be held responsible.

Pros and cons of Concealment Lite app for iPhone and iPad

Concealment Lite app good for

This app is amazing!!!!!!!!! This App changed my life!! I will never look at a picture the same way again!! David Berroa strikes again with an amazing magical app!! Please Dave let me get your autograph!! Ill do anything!!
I figured out how to use the software immediately. Of course i am a computer geek. This is genius. The only thing that would make it better is if the icon was more innocent. The idea is to hide stuff. So of course you dont want somebody picking up your device and saying hey whats this? At the very least, put an option to password protect opening the software itself. I use my ipad for business so of course i do show my ipad to customers and would be embarrased if they saw a personal photo. I may actually buy the full version.
I love this app. I actually bought real version so I could hide messages in it as well. I love that you can send one picture and hide others inside. This would have come in handy in high school :) kudos to the person who invented it.

Some bad moments

Its free so there was no money wastedl, just my time. I downloaded and tested this app on several photos, it is steganography and the app does work. However, maybe this is just the free version, each image created had a message stating there was a hidden message in the image and instructed the viewer to download the concealment app to view it. The purpose of steganography is to hide my message, this takes away from the image "hiding" my messages. This may not be the case with the paid version, but Im not paying for it just to find out.
