Locker 13 1.0.0.0

Add the digital photographs on your Windows Phone to a secure collection, available only to you
Preserving the privacy of data stored onto mobile devices and avoiding to have personal photos stolen from the smartphone is of the utmost important in the modern era, so many users are looking for viable solutions in this respect.

Windows Phone users can now enjoy a pretty simple and easy to use tool of this kind called Locker 13 and which is made to ensure the images are stored safely and cannot be accessed by anyone except for their rightful owner.

Inflexible GUI, made for efficient use

This application comes with a pretty simple interface that has a nice background, without worrying too much about the visual appeal, as the overall appearance is more practical than attractive.

Going through the images that are included in the collection is smooth and fluent, with a barely noticeable delay when tapping the pics to load them in the preview area.

Unfortunately, there is no way of zooming in or viewing the photos in full screen. A more annoying drawback is the fact that you can only use Locker 13 in landscape mode because it will not adapt to changes in screen orientation.

Pick the photos and add them to the vault

This utility is able to stash away all the pictures you keep onto your phone. The procedure of adding the images will be quite lengthy, as you have to do it one file at a time, which is another letdown.

In case you want to better organize your images by creating custom folders, this will not be possible with this application. Thus, all the pictures remain all huddled together inside the same container.

It is important to keep in mind that Locker 13 does not automatically remove the pics from their original location once you include them inside its protected storage, so this task you will have to carry out on your own.

Basic safety measures

The security this app relies on is a simple password that you can change from the first run or later on, whenever you access the login screen. The default code is 123456 and when you change it make sure you remember or store the new passkey well because there are no recovery options to help you if you lose of forget it.

The management options at your disposal for the contained images are two and they consist in a removal option for any selected pic or in the possibility to send it to the local photo library. Revealing these commands is done by pressing for a few seconds onto the respective item.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
 

The app has a less appealing look, despite the pretty nice background image and it loses a lot because of the inability to adapt to portrait screen orientation.

Function5
 

The password protection method is very basic, while the image management and viewing options are scarce.

Security10
 

The utility will remain very discreet during its run time, leaving all the sensitive ares of the system untouched.

Battery8
 

Locker 13 needs a modest amount of power to run properly, so the battery usage remains well within moderate levels.

Price10
 

Everything about this application is completely free, there are no annoyances or costs related to it, so it has a great value.

Compatibility9
 

Made to function on the more recent Windows Phone devices on the market, the utility needs at least version 8 of the operating system.
