Just about everyone worries about the security of the personal information stored on their iPhones. However, while we’re good at worrying about it, most of us don’t actually do shit about it. Thankfully, iFortress allows users to store their most precious data in a secure and hassle-free way.
Ifortress uses government-grade CommandVault technology to protect whatever data you choose to use through it. The interface is in tune with those used by Apple, and should be easily accessible to most people.
Ifortress is easy to use, and functions around whatever password you choose to set up for it. Once you’ve typed your password (just don’t make it too obvious), iFortress encrypts the hell out of it, making it virtually unhackable.
If someone types in the incorrect password enough times, then the app wipes all of the data contained within it. Personally, I’d prefer it if it exploded the iPhone in the thieving bastard’s face, leaving them blind or at least scarred for life, but maybe they can include that in an upcoming patch.
Aside from importing data from other apps, iFortress has its own set of handy functions. You can take notes and photos within the app itself for instance, saving you the hassle of importing things all the time. For the more organisationally obsessive, it also allows you to place your data into neat little colour-coded folders.
Ifortress is one of the most secure data protection apps for the iPhone. Beneath its easy functionality and simple interface, it protects your precious info to the nth degree, making you feel a little more secure whenever you step outside the house with your precious little iPhone.
