What's New
You can now scan messages directly into Identicode using the new camera button with no typing required (on iOS15 or newer). If the colour code is present at the start of the message (as it is in the magazine) then Identicode will automatically switch to the correct colour and switch to decode operation. This kind of convenience is something every secret agent appreciates when mission timescales are tight.
App Description
This futuristic, yet strangely retro technology allows you to break the secret codes supplied in the 1960s Sci-Fi comic "TV Century 21".
The original issue of the comic on January 23rd 1965 came with a functionally identical code-breaker but, more than 50 years later they are a very rare beast indeed and possibly chewed and mouldy as they were made of thin card and paper. So, if you have some old copies of the magazine (and you can buy them online!) and you've been yearning to know what those secret messages at the foot of the pages were then this is just the app you've been looking for!
If you were feeling mischievous you could of course encode your own messages to surprise your friends on Social Media. :-)
