Recycle Bin 2.2.37

Send files to the recycle bin and restore the ones that you wish to keep, or at least in theory
Recycle bin applications are really useful regardless of the type of device that you're using. They're a great way to keep your files in one location and prevent them from being deleted.

You can also keep files that you're not sure if you wish to delete. Fortunately, Google Play Store has some applications that could do just that. One of them is Recycle Bin. It's a nice app that has all the features that you might find in a desktop Recycle Bin.

Sleek UI with some features

The app displays some instructions when you launch it, although it would have been more useful if it came with a tutorial and onscreen tips. Still, the UI is really intuitive even if it doesn't come with material design.

You'll find settings under the overflow icon on the top of the screen, however the app doesn't come with any customization features. The icon resembles that of Windows' Recycle Bin, but the app has fewer features.

Send files to the recycle bin

In order to send files to the recycle bin you only need to select the file in your preferred file explorer, then select Recycle bin in the 'Open with' or 'Send to' menus. The selected file will be deleted from your original location.

The application can partially monitor your sdcard in order to automatically send files to the recycle bin when you delete one. The functionality can be enabled or disabled from the application's settings page. The maximum number of files that are watchable depends on the system that you're currently using.

More features

Aside from all this, the app also lets you automatically hand known files. You can also have the app monitor folders on your device or manage file extensions of files that can be sent to the Recycle Bin.

You can send all sort of files, including pictures, audio and video files, documents and compressed files. APKs and .exe application files can also be send to the recycle bin. It comes with some sorting options and files can be automatically purged after a certain period of time.

You can also backup data and settings, but only after you upgrade to the premium version for 1.39$. The app seems to have some stability issues. The restore or delete icons are hidden, which makes it difficult for users to perform operations with this app.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
 

The interface is okay, but the most important icons for deleting or restoring files are hidden and difficult to access.

Function7
 

It definitely needs more features and it's quite inconvenient that the app doesn't automatically fetch deleted files and you need to send them to the app.

Security9
 

It only needs a few permissions from your phone, to areas that are connected to its features.

Battery6
 

Consumption is a bit high, keep an eye on resources when using this application.

Price8
 

It comes with ads, remove them and get access to locked features by purchasing the premium version for 1.39$.

Compatibility7
 

The app should work on devices running Android version 4.1 or later, making it accessible to many users.
