About Mininigma: Enigma Simulator
Basically, Enigma was a cipher machine used by the Germans during World War II for the encryption and decryption of secret messages. It looked like an old typewriter with some extra features.
Being fully compatible with the real Enigma means you can also use Mininigma to decode any of the original messages which can be found on Internet.
You can also generate a machine configuration based on a keyword or keyphrase. That means you'll only have to share that keyword to send a message!!
Mininigma can accurately simulate different types of machines: The Enigma I, M3 and M4, Railway, G-312, or Swiss-K, with some others coming in the future. You can read more about these, as always, on the Wikipedia :)
You can actually select between the different machine types and setup them as you would with a real one: choose rotors, configure them, or use a plugboard to switch letters. All at the tip of your finger.
Mininigma supports Copy/Paste to allow you to interact with any other application on your device. You can even copy/paste machine configurations in an encryptable string!!

Cool, one major flaw
The app works really well. I’ve read about the Enigma machine for many years and have become quite familiar with it including how it works. It looks great, too. A great emulator. Now for the bad part. All the help and tutorials are written in some bogus font that looks like a severely distressed typewriter. My tired old eyes struggle to read them. If the developers are reading this, please stick to a font that’s readily readable. If it wasn’t for this issue, this would be a five star review.

Looks great… but…
This app looks absolutely wonderful… And from my testing, the app performs as advertised. My only real concerns are as follows: 1) The UI does not account for newer devices such as iPhone X as some of the elements are cut off towards the top due to how the screen and Face ID camera are set up. And also 2) The app is not compatible with the voiceover screen reader built-in to iOS. What does those two minor little grapes, great app. The developer should consider making appropriate changes to meet the needs of modern devices as well as make their app slightly more accessible to more users by allowing access via the voiceover screen reader
