More Cryptography Then Steganography.
Much like must of the applications claiming to encapsulate "Steganography" this application is only scratch on the surface of it's true meaning. It takes 3 clicks to "Hide" your file and only 2 clicks to reveal it (In Note Pad). For anyone trying to read or even discover your files it would be extremely easy. Firstly, load the carrier into any text reader to see the additional bytes of information secondly if a user was to hide a large file, lets say 5Mb in a small picture, lets say 100x100 Bmp it would look very bizarre to an inspector having a small (29Kb) file suddenly consume 5Mb of hard disk space.
This software does hide information, or files within other files... Is it detectable? even on the most basic level "Yes, absolutely". Is the information crackable? I don't know, from my experience most "Byte edited" information can be read using a "Hex-Editor" or "Bit Cruncher". As I said this application is more cryptography then steganography.
Personally, it's great for a bit of fun, but there's no way I would entrust this software with my credit card details.
