<p>Cheaters, watch out! An Indian-origin entreprenuer has developed a ‘cheat’s app’ that you can download on your partner’s phone to create an invisible record of text messages and call logs from a suspected lover. <br /></p>.<p>People don’t even have to worry about their partner finding out that the app has been downloaded as the icon does not appear on the home screen of the phone.<br /><br />The user has to enter a secret code to access the Cate app, which stands for “Call and Text Eraser”, the Daily Mail reported.<br /><br />Suppose your partner happens to walk in while you are reading texts from their secret lover, a simple shake of the phone will make it all disappear.However, the app can also benefit cheaters as they can hide specific numbers from the contacts list.<br /><br />The screen will never indicate who has called and at the touch of a button, all private information can be wiped from the phone forever.<br /><br />Advertised with the slogan, “Love is blind, we keep it that way!”, the smartphone app which costs 3 pounds to download, is the brainchild of Boston-based entrepreneur of Indian-origin, Neal Desai.<br /><br />The 25-year-old student bought the app for 11,000 pounds from a Miami police officer, who developed the programme after seeing his friend dragged through the divorce court thanks to incriminating text messages on his phone.<br /><br />Desai then decided to expand the business by appearing on Shark Tank, the American equivalent of BBC2’s Dragon’s Den and ended up securing 44,000 pounds.<br /><br />Since the app was launched three weeks ago, it has been downloaded 10,000 times and 70 per cent of the purchases have been by women.<br /><br />While critics have pointed out the “morality” of his product, Desai insists there are legitimate reasons for using his app, which he said is there to protect someone’s privacy.<br /><br /> “It’s a privacy app, essentially, and as with every technology that involves privacy, there is good with the bad,” Desai was quoted as telling The Sunday Times. </p>.<p>“But it is also labelled a privacy application and could have uses for government officials, or corporate business, or for lawyers whose entire business is based on keeping things confidential,” Desai said.<br /></p>
