Mark Cuban's Cyber Dust App is 'WhatsApp Meets Snapchat'

Billionaire Mark Cuban's Cyber Dust app, described as 'WhatsApp meets Snapchat', is a communication app that erases your messages 30 seconds after being sent.

Cyber Dust is simply a more natural way to message. Don't leave a trail of everything you say. Messages disappear forever after 30 seconds and cannot be traced. Stay in control of your messages! Don't limit yourself to sending only self destructing photos when you can have entire conversations with text, photos, stickers and more!

Cuban describes why he created the app:


"For me, it was watching the SEC taking every digital message I gave them and apply whatever context it wanted to apply. No matter what the truth was. Then I saw the success of Snapchat and realized that I wasn’t the only one who had a need to reduce my digital footprint. Cyber Dust isn’t designed to fight off the NSA or some nefarious intruder. Cyber Dust is designed to replace texting for anyone who realizes that you lose control of every text you send. [It’s also realizing] That the phone companies and your text recipients own your texts and even the most innocent text can take on a whole new context. I wanted to have a means of communication that is analogous to face to face – where you can speak openly and honestly. That is why we created Cyber Dust."

Features:
- Have fun and private conversations without worry
- Fully Encrypted Messages that are deleted forever
- Share Photos, Stickers & Emojis
- Send mass photos and texts to multiple friends
- Send and Read Confirmations
- Screenshot Detection
- Share in-the-moment conversations with friends
- Never pay for an sms text message again
- Instantly connect with friends and other users
- Beautifully designed for iOS 7
- Video (Coming Soon)

You can download Cyber Dust from the App Store for free.

This is actually better than Snapchat. And i'm sure the SEC part is a publicity stunt to gain users.

Take a screen shot and save whatever you want, regardless of what an app does. It's lame to think that something will be deleted forever and cannot be traced. Now days this sounds like a joke.

Screenshot detection? what's that supposed to make a girl feel like no one's going to screenshot that nude selfie? Sure it's just going to be a little bit of a burn and get you caught
