Encrypt My Photo 1.3.0.0
Those who own a Windows Phone handset have a varied choice at their disposal and among the possible candidates you can try an app that has a suggestive name: Encrypt My Photo.
Unappealing front-end, with a focus on practicality
Right off the bat you will surely notice the dull looks of this application, which lack any elements of graphic design that would make it attractive. All the functions are placed at hand inside the main screen, so you can pick an action with one tap, without having to go through other screens or menus.
Browsing the stored pictures from the slideshow module is fairly fluent when done manually and also while the slides change automatically. A noticeable drawback is the presence of the ad banners that are continuously changing in the lower part of the screen.
Quick import for batches of images and built-in photo capture
This utility is able to stash away all the pictures you keep onto your phone and since the access to the app is password protected, the same applies to the content stored inside. You have the possibility to add one image at a time or entire folders (optionally including their subfolders) in one go.
A neat feature is the ability to take pictures from inside the app and thus have them protected automatically, but there is a catch to this, as the photos are also stored unprotected in the "Camera Roll" folder on your phone.
Customizable slide show and basic picture management
To check out the images saved inside Encrypt My Photo you will have to access the "Slide Show" section and browse them by hand or automatically. You can set the speed with which the slides change by using the dedicated slider.
In case you erased the original pictures from the visible folders and you want to re-add them from this app, simply tap the "Save" button for each of them and they will be sent to the "Saved Pictures" album. The "Delete" function will exclude the selected item from the photo vault.

Bottom Line
Design / UI3
The appearance of this app is definitely in dire need of a redesign and only the smooth navigation among the hosted images saves it a few points here. |
Function4
The password protection method is very basic, without even requiring a minimum number of characters for better encryption, while there is no other way of viewing the images can only be done from the "Slide Show" area. |
Security8
Besides the places that are closely related to its functionality, there are a few system areas in which this application needs to look into for no good reason. |
Battery9
The power consumption for this utility is minimal at all times, so the battery usage records very low levels. |
Price5
Having to put up with some annoying adverts and given the rather entry-level feature set offered, this tool doesn't have too much value overall as there are others better equipped. |
Compatibility9
Most Windows Phone users can try this app onto their handsets since it works on any device powered by version 7.5 and above of the operating system. |
