Mininigma: Enigma Simulator App Reviews

Love both this one & the mini 209 cipher machine app. Tons of options & great implementations!! My only request is to add some more machines, such as a purple :-)

How do I decode an encoded message that was sent to me. If I paste in the text it just re-encodes it. Neat app

Excellent app, enjoyable to learn and use, developer responds to questions from users.

Easy to use and models several different Enigma machines. The backspace function is a very helpful addition!

Fun. Educational. Nice UI.

Ive been obsessed with the Enigma for over half my life, even owning a physical (albeit digitally powered) replica machine. And while I love the tactile nature of typing on a constructed device, the sheer breath and depth of options available in this app makes it a must-have for any self-respecting cryptology or WWII history fan. If you are interested in this app, you need not hesitate—its AMAZING!!

Implementing an Enigma simulator is not overly difficult, and there are several open source examples available on the Internet. What sets this application apart is the UI: the developer spent a lot of time and effort to recreate the look and feel of the original machine, down to the actual sounds. The result is visually rich, engaging, and just plain fun to use. If youre looking for fast, modern, bulk encryption...this is not it. But if you want to try one of the most historically significant crypto devices of World War II, this is well worth the price.

I wish there was the ability to have spaces, but I guess it would be less realistic.

This is an amazing Enigma machine simulator. The developer has decided to create as realistic a simulator as possible and he hits a home run with the result! I have fun encoding messages and also teaching my kids about codes and ciphers. They also get a history lesson too! One of the best parts is that the dev keeps the app up-to-date and is very responsive to comments. Great job on creating this wonderful app!

This is a great app, it works just like the original Enigma that the Germans used in WW2. This also means it still has its weakness. A letter could never be itself; if this was fixed, I would give this 5 stars. This is a great app, works great. You can set it up they way u want on the rotors or the plugboard and get the Trillions different possibilities this machine has. If you are into code or ciphers, you should get this, and hopefully the developer will update to fix the weakness. P.S. Also it could be nice to have numbers in their also.

The app was great before and it just keeps getting better. The latest version includes a custom keyboard that increases the realism. The developer really cares about the quality of his app.

This is the app to have if your an Enigma fan or want to learn more about the German code machine that was used in World War II. This is the machine that was the subject of the movie "The Imitation Game". You can change the initial settings and type into the machine and get the coded message. You can also add the Enigma keyboard to your text messages and type code directly into a text message.
