Master PIN 1.0.0.0
Windows Phone users can try Master PIN, an app that relies on a numeric code access method to make sure no one can look into the database and retrieve the goodies stored inside.
Smooth looks for a practical GUI
The utility offers a simple and easy to use layout, in which all the functions and commands are kept at hand. The cool background wallpaper and the decent graphics are a neat touch from the visual perspective.
The main functions of the utility reside inside the main menu you can reach from the lower side of the screen, while the data input fields are sufficient for adding the necessary details.
Going through the few areas of Master PIN is done seamlessly, as there are no delays or other flaws of this kind. After a few uses you will start to receive some occasional prompts to rate and review the application.
Add and manage entries on the fly
This app works in a very simple manner, so you should have no difficulties in operating it. Creating new entries in its database the list takes only a couple of seconds, since all you have to do is fill in the required fields before confirming the fresh addition to the database.
A neat thing in this respect is that the data input forms are adapted to each type of entry you want to create and Master PIN supports card data, bank accounts, website logins, birthday or other anniversaries, as well as other reminders.
Security options, extra features and drawbacks
The application allows you to create a custom 4-digit PIN code that will be required to access the utility, so you can modify the initial "0000" passkey with anything you want. More so, it is possible to create up to 3 security questions that can help you recover the lost or forgotten passcode.
A built-in password generator offers some nice features and you can use it to create complex passphrases with letters, numbers and symbols. The content can be shared via email or SMS right from inside the application, while the "Fast SMS" feature allows you to create a set message that can be sent at a later time to anyone in your contacts list.
A major drawback is represented by the fact that anyone can access the database info if Master PIN is recalled from the recently used apps list and was not closed properly.
Also, when resuming the application like this, some entries will be duplicated, while after tapping on the stored entries to reveal the data, the items will be erased from the database once you go back.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
From the visual perspective this utility seems well designed, despite the fact that is looks a bit simple and doesn't have any GUI customization options. |
Function4
The ease of use and ability to share stored data are welcomed, but the fact that it doesn't succeed to fully protect the content is a serious letdown. |
Security10
Discreet and well-behaved while running, Master PIN doesn't go anywhere near any secure system area. |
Battery5
The high power consumption of this application means that the battery drains rather quickly while the tool is up and running. |
Price10
This utility offers everything it has without asking for anything in return, so it is a pretty good deal. |
Compatibility10
The app is designed to run well on most Windows Phone handsets on the market, as it only needs version 7.5 of the OS. |
