MyCollections 1.6.0.0

Create several secure vaults to keep various type of data safely onto your Windows Phone
Looking after the privacy of personal information and locking important details so that no one but the rightful owner can access them require some specialized assistance and there are quite a few dedicated apps out there for users to choose from.

In case you want to try out a utility that is made to serve as a secure repository for several kinds of data, MyCollections is the app you need to install onto your Windows Phone.

Plain looks, made for practical use

This application comes with some nice graphics but the dull backgrounds and lack of customization options make it less appealing. Instead, the focus is set on functionality, as all the areas of the utility are easy to go through.

The information is well structured and you can choose the data fields to be displayed for each collection and item included inside.

A minor nuisance will start to bother you after launching the app for a couple of times as some reminders that prompt you to rate MyCollections will appear on certain occasions.

Create and manage collections on the fly

Inside the main screen of this utility you can add as many data containers as you need, but this only in the full version, because the free functionality is limited to 3 collections. For each new group you create you have the possibility to assign a different icon, but the choices are restricted here as well.

A neat feature provided by this application is the ability to re-arrange the items inside the main screen, so you can have the collections shown in the exact order you want them to appear.

The data containers can also be pinned to the Start screen or removed if necessary and to reveal the commands for carrying out these actions you will have to tap and hold for a few seconds the targeted item.

Store personal data and export or back it up in the cloud

Depending on the schema defined when creating the collections, you can add a wide variety of details for each entry you create and editing the info is possible at any moment.

A great thing about MyCollections is that you can create different access codes for each collection and only by providing the correct key it is possible to view and edit the contained data.
Since the application integrates seamlessly with OneDrive, you will be able to create backups of your data and restore the information from the cloud is necessary. Also, the app will help you export the details in Excel format to use them in your documents and it cam also import data of the same type.
