'TigerText' app allows for messages to be deleted after sent from iPhone to iPhone

Haha, sounds like something I could have used a few months back when I had two girlfriends.

ya i bet

How many numpties will not realise it has to be on both phones, and end up getting someone in the deep stuff.
As for your other half not being able to read your texts, if they’re paranoid enough to look at your phone anyway, then just seeing this app will tell them you’re up to something.
The idea does sound good to some degree, being able to have received messages ‘self delete’ after the receivers own set period ‘unless saved’ sounds a good idea, saves having to manually go through messages and deleting all the old crap.
I don’t like the idea of an app being able to set parameters on my phone, even if it is just a delete period, how long before someone hacks into it and gets the receivers phone to do something else, or just corrupt it.
As with all these things, they may seem harmless enough to those that devise them, but somehow, someone will end up suffering with something ‘the developers’ didn’t see as plausible.

I can think of a few high-profile celebs that could have done with this ;) TigerText is a bit funny too.

This app has nothing to do with cheating spouses...granted any technology can be used for good or bad. that being said, this app has so much potential for being used for good. think about doctors being able to text patients instead of seeing them, it would cut down on number of appointments. or how about businesses putting all there employees on tigertext so there is no crucial information leaked. the littlest thing could crush a business. privacy is becoming ever more important and you too will want your cell phone private
