## Reviews

### "Spot-On's main feature is Messaging & the App needs to be in the Category "Encryption" - as it is an Encryption Suite" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *15 July 2024* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - very advanced encrpytion processes for Messaging and within further encryption tools
> 
> **Cons**: - you need to set up a server - though just 3 clicks in the app-given so called Listener Tab - you need to tell your friends the contact details.
> 
> \- still learning all the functions: looks very excellent for those, who want to communicate secure with encryption to friends.
- thanks for this open source application as alternative Messenger, which is worth to explore the encryption.
