If you don't want anyone snooping in your e-mails you might already encrypt your correspondence. But you still can't hide who you're writing to, and your e-mail client might even reveal much more about you and your computer. Bitmessage attempts to solve this.

How to install Abit APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Abit APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (ch.dissem.apps.abit-v1.0-rc1-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★I had somehow gotten into a state where it crashed every time I tried to open a message, but reinstalling seems to have fixed it. Developer responded quickly, but now am unable to reproduce. Much nicer interface than pybitmessage. All it needs now is Orbot support!
5 ★Keep on going that pretty thing you have born. However, what you think about adding a option for routing through tor and how about f-droid? Bdw. orbot runs on both rooted non rooted phones.
3 ★I'm very happy to see this app! I love bitmessage, as a secure messaging platform it's great. As of currently due to limited connection speed I cannot currently verify full functionality so keep that in mind when reading my say here. I couldn't get the app to generate deterministic identities. I've experienced and underwent several reboots and possibly crashes? but unsure of the status of the operation or if the POW for all this is on progress or what. There's really no interface showing what POW is queued up and running and I would REALLY APPRECIATE such an enhancement, since running a full node on mobile is taxing on the device, I'd like to have a little bit more ongoing information somewhere of what exactly it's processing so I know when the client is busy synchronizing to the network, doing POW, Exactly what kind of request is getting POWed on; is it broadcasting for a key for example?; and any possible estimate of how long POW may last. Now I know there are some small indicators of state in and around the app in general but they are not enough information. I would like to have some activity that simply lists everything the app knows it's processing and trying to achieve, so I can more easily decide when to run full node mode and when it would be unnecessary. I will edit more into this review when I confirm more by touching with a faster wifi connection and seeing if that helps my client catch up and start to see things trickle in. Function seems stable now, after spending some time on a faster connection. Seems solid now that any potential "initial synchronization" has taken place
5 ★Especially a preloaded suggested defaults. As well as qr scanning chans. Oh and nicer UI for chans too.
3 ★Does not work at all.
3 ★Cannot receive messages
4 ★It looks good. I had a few crashes but no big deal. I used Abit on a S4. It *does* work but it takes a long while before you receive or send your messages. As mentioned when the app starts, running a full node on a phone is no good idea... It sucks CPU and battery *a lot*. I like the effort of the author to offload the proof of work on an external node but I could not see it work.
3 ★If it did what it was meant to it would be a great interface but unfortunately I am yet to successfully send or receive a single BitMessage. :(
3 ★Eats battery power like hungry dog. Eats processor resource up to 100%. Time gap between sending a message and receive confirmation via whatsapp - up to 20 minutes! That's the only thing I've been impressed about this app. BUT! Keep trying. We NEED this app working. Thank you.
1 ★Unfortunately, tons of bugs and lack of any error display makes the app unusable. The app won't even show trusted node connection status, there's no way to tell if it even tried to connect to it.
3 ★Barely works on s5. Crashes a lot.
4 ★An excellent start to a sorely needed port of bitmessage to Android - good on you for doing this, & doing it surprisingly well.
