Home Security Tips 1.0.0.0

Learn how to keep your house safe and avoid becoming a victim of the burglars
Having at hand a guide of best practices for protecting your home against attempts of intrusion sounds like a really good idea and Windows Phone users can benefit from a specialized application that was especially tailored for this purpose.

Called Home Security Tips, this utility offers a good deal of information on how to prevent various unpleasant situations that may arise independent of the precautionary measures you take.

Tidy looks for a well organized interface

This app offers a nice GUI that puts practicality above good looks, but the graphics are still designed with care and offer a rather pleasant appearance for this utility.

The articles that contain the valuable advice are ordered alphabetically and stored all together inside a single list that is accessible from the main screen of the application.

Moving around the app and inside the articles is smooth and without any lags, but the ads that are shown at the bottom of the screen are quite bothersome and appear in every area of Home Security Tips.

Read some basic advice and distribute the ones you consider worthy of sharing

This application provides a decent selection of tips and useful information, presented in the form of longer articles that you can read individually or in sequence, like the chapters of a book.

Although there is nothing extraordinary written in those texts, they can serve as useful reminders for security measures that you can take to keep your home safe.

When you find an interesting article, you can mark it by pressing the small star and it will be added to the list of favorites. Also, you have the possibility to send to your friends the tips through SMS or email messages or via your Facebook page.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

The front-end seems quite decent in terms of visual aspect, with smooth backgrounds and graphics, as well as a neat structuring of the content. The advertisement banners are the main letdown from this perspective.

Function7
 

There is plenty of information packed inside Home Security Tips, but most of it is more like literature rather than having a practical usefulness. The sharing options are a welcomed extra.

Security7
 

Despite its declared purpose, this app is rather intrusive as it requires access to many areas of the system for no obvious reason.

Battery8
 

The battery utilization is average insofar as this app is concerned, as it needs a moderate amount of power to function.

Price8
 

Home Security Tips has a good value as it provides some useful information, but it doesn't go too much in-depth nor does it propose innovative solutions.

Compatibility8
 

The user base for this application is limited to owners of Windows Phone 8 and above devices, with a screen resolution of HD720P (720x1280), WVGA (480x800) or WXGA (768x1280)
