TigerText
The ultimate in clandestine texting, TigerText allows you to message at will, whilst barely leaving a trace of wrongdoing behind. It's perfect for those who have a tendency to drunk text and cheating partners alike.
The company initially developed the app for those people who were concerned about privacy, and not necessarily for those wanting a bit on the side.
What does it do?
- messages are never saved on your phone
- time limit feature, enabling you to set a time when all messages are wiped from your phone, the receiving phone and the server
- no messages can be forwarded or copied (careful: people can still take a screen shot)
- delete history feature - this deletes any trace of when and to whom you send messages
Cost?
- free for first 100 messages in 15 days
- $1.49 for 250 messages/month - $2.49 unlimited messages after that
- free to receive messages
- any recipient of a message must also download the app

- automatic locking and message encryption when phone is put down
- screen capture protection
- message interception prevention; without correct device information messages cannot be decrypted
Cost?

Photo Safe
Photo Safe is an app that allows you to hide your photos and videos on your smartphone. This is quite the thing if you don't want prying eyes at what you may have lurking around on your mobile device. It's so popular, it's been the top privacy app for the last 12 months.
What does it do?
- hides all pics from regular gallery from casual users of the device
- multi-select option

- interrogation password: if someone questions you on photos, you can enter this password to send them to the innocent photo album
- password hint and reset button
Cost?
- free for a limited time only
Mobile Vault
For those who'd like to keep photos, contacts, videos and messages secret, Mobile Vault can attend to all of that at once. This app is good for those who aren't so tech savvy, and is quite easy to use.
What does it do?
- encrypted, password-protected space on your device, storing photos, videos, text messages and call history
- easy to move items in and out of the vault
- private contacts list; once a contact is added it hides all correspondence from said contact on your device

Ever had to make a phone call, but crossed your fingers that they don't actually pick up? SlyDial is perfect, because it takes you through to voice mail straight away. Useful for anyone having to make awkward phone calls? Yes. A handy tool for anyone wanting to cheat on their partner, definitely.
What does it do?
- say, you're with someone else (cough) and your partner calls... SlyDial will allow you to call them back and leave an answer phone message without actually talking
- or, say, you see unknown phone numbers on your partners phone; SlyDial them and find out who they are
Cost?
- free for iOS, Windows, Android or Blackberry
- 10c/phone call for ad-free version
