Anti Theft Alarm 1.0.3.3
In case this happens a lot to you, there are some little helpers you can turn to and get wind of someone's attempt to tamper with your Windows Phone and Anti Theft Alarm is one of them.
Uncomplicated GUI with a nice look to it
The application comes with a relatively simple interface, that has a pretty cool appearance with its smooth graphics and neat background, which seems to have a metallic finish.
The crisp display where you can check out the status of the alarm and the well-sized numeric pad that you can use to input the correct code and access the app also have an appealing look.
The controls are all at hand, easy to reach and use and there are no delays or other kind of glitches when moving around the few sections of the app.
Configure andenablethe alarm on the go
Anti Theft Alarm provides you several options when it comes to setting up the alerts, so you can start by picking the alarm sound that you think is the most appropriate from the dedicated area of the "Settings" menu.
There are 5 levels of sensitivity you can opt for, ranging from "Lowest" to "Highest", each of them being more or less responsive when it comes to detecting any movement of the device.
There is also an activation timer that you can customize by selecting the desired delay interval before the alarm is armed. Thus, you can opt for 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds, choosing the one that is best suited for the situation at hand.
Secure access and extra options at a glance
With this utility you can easily set up a personal passcode that is 4 digits long and which will be required to silence the alarm sound and for getting inside Anti Theft Alarm.
A neat thing about this application is that it will work under the lock screen if you activate the corresponding feature from the same "Settings" area.
If getting passed the lock screen that asks for the PIN code can be done by tapping the "Start" button or by closing the utility from the list of recently opened apps, the sound will only stop when the code is inserted.
The volume buttons are functional as well, so the noise can be suppressed from there as well, but when the app is reopened after being closed without providing the access code, the alarm will start immediately.
