Hide it Pro 5.2
Sleek UI with many features at hand
The app doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of instructions to get you started, just some tips on the home screen so that new users wouldn't be confused. The nice thing about Hide Pictures is that its logo resembles that of an audio app and its home screen icon says Audio Manager as to confuse unauthorized users that might be snooping through your phone.
The disguise features volume toggles for various system functions. You'll need to tap and hold on the logo to launch the actual application. The message only appears once, when you launch the app for the first time.
Secure your files with a PIN
Aside from the disguise, the app also comes with the option of securing your files with a PIN code and providing an email address in case your forget said code. You can also create a fake pin to use whenever you get caught, the app would display an empty vault if you enter said pin.
In addition, the same operations can be made using a password. In addition to login settings, the app also lets you change the theme and pick one of the many available. You can also manage icons in the vault screen and the app uses encryption to hide important files.
