Hurt Locker 3.0.4.0
For those who want to create a safe zone onto their mobile device that only they can access, installing Hurt Locker might provide the much needed protection.
Clean appearance and well structured GUI
The application offers a tidy interface, without any adornments, but featuring some carefully drawn graphics that are consistent from end to end.
Moving around the app and going through its menus and lists of stored items is fairly smooth, with some small delays when loading large numbers of photos or videos.
After a couple of uses you will receive some reminders that prompt you to rate Hurt Locker, but these can be dismissed with a single tap.
Import content and manage the files on the go
This utility will make it possible for you to transfer inside the secure vault pictures and clips stored onto your mobile device in the "Camera Roll", "Pictures" and "Videos" folders. The process may be a bit lengthy than expected, especially when dealing with numerous items and large files.
With the photos and videos neatly stacked inside the corresponding containers you can rest assured they will no longer be visible inside their original folders. To end them back, you can simply make a selection and tap "Restore".
The application also allows you to add contacts from your phone book or create new entries directly inside the dedicated section. You can call or send a message to any of them form inside Hurt Locker and it is possible to add extra details for each entry.
Advanced security features at a glance
There are several layers of security that you can benefit from by simply activating certain features of this app, but note that most of them are only available for a trial period of 14 days.
Besides the basic access password you have to set from the first run, you can also create a fake locker by assigning it a second passcode. Another passkey can be assigned to the data deletion feature that enables you to clear everything inside Hurt Locker by entering that password 2 times in a row.
The password length can be customized and you can opt for any length between 4 and 15 characters. The built-in backup and restore mechanism can be of real help if you want to save a copy of the data in your Google Drive or Dropbox cloud storage account.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The appearance of this utility is pretty nice, even if simple, but with a neat layout and cool graphics. After the trial period is over, the free version displays adverts. |
Function7
Hurt Locker offers strong protection, but it needs support for more cloud storage services, some advanced management functions for the stored files and there are some functional glitches. |
Security8
The application needs to look inside several sensitive areas of the system, but some of them are not related to its functionality. |
Battery4
The considerable amount of power needed by this app to run translates into a very high battery usage. |
Price9
Having the full functionality available for 14 days is enough for any user to decide if they want to purchase the full version or keep the basic, free feature set. |
Compatibility8
Those wiling to give Hurt Locker a try must do so on a Windows Phone 8.1 powered device. |
