Description

From the listing uploaded by “htcsense”.

If somebody else picks up your phone and sees this app it will just look like a regular note-keeping app. But they are actually seeing a bunch of bogus notes. Draw any squiggle to make the unlock screen show. When you enter the correct unlock pattern the bogus notes are hidden and your real notes are displayed. To be sneaky the app isn't called "secret" or "secure" notes. And there is no safe or lock in the icon. Optionally, Snotes can even automatically maintain dates on your bogus notes to make them appear current ;) This is the Paid version: + no ads + unlimited secure notes

Snotes - Paid APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Snotes - Paid APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 201f34dc2527cfcc778500988c1e2679.
