File Locker Free 1.0.0.1
For those who own a Windows Phone powered handset, there are quite a few alternatives when it comes to utilities that are meant to protect the content kept on the mobile device and File Locker Free is one of them.
Simple and fun graphics for a clean GUI
The application offers a tidy interface, without any special adornments, but featuring some nicely drawn graphics, that are consistent from end to end.
Going through the various sections of the utility is easy to carry out, but sometimes you might come across some slight delays in loading the complete photo list when lots of files are inside the respective area.
There are some ad banners that load inside the screens you visit, however they might often fail to come into view, so you will no longer have to put up with them.
Quick password setup and file transfer
File Locker Free relies on an access password you set to protect the content stored inside and you will be prompted from the initial run to create the passcode.
The application makes it possible for you to add photos stored on the phone's local storage by making multiple selections. Nonetheless, the pictures are shown all in the same screen, without the folder organization you have on your Windows Phone.
A major drawback is the fact that you cannot create custom albums or folders, so all the images or videos will be stored together in the two dedicated modules. Also, when selecting certain types of files, the application will crash out of the blue.
Basic photo and clip management
All the images and videos you store inside File Locker Free can be viewed or played on the spot, while the actual file management features are very limited.
More precisely, you can only select a number of pics or clips and either delete them or make them visible, by having them transferred to a new folder you will discover in the phone's multimedia library.
The security offered by this app is good if someone tries to open the app directly, but if it is left open in the background, when selecting it from the list of most recently used apps the password prompt will no longer appear and the content is thus exposed.
