One Locker 6.4.2.0
To avoid this from happening you ca neither make sure to take your handset with you at all times or enlist the help of a specialized app like One Locker that can offer a supplemental layer of security in a more original way.
Colorful and easy to use GUI
This utility comes with an uncomplicated interface that features some enhancements that are not too often seen with such tools. The animated tiles for each of the contained sections and the nice color palette give this app a quite nice look.
There are also some neat transitions when opening the various modules of One Locker, but a noticeable nuisance is the presence of some ad banners that will follow you around the app.
Set the access PIN and choose recovery question
With the help of this utility you will be able to easily create a numeric password that will be required to open the protected applications.
The 4 digits code can be changed at any moment and you have the possibility to choose a recovery question and assign it the desired answer, so in case you forget the access code you can still retrieve it.
Camouflage your most important apps on the go
The "Disguise" feature of One Locker is the main attraction, as it will enable you to set a decoy shortcut on the Start screen to baffle those who want to take a quick peek at your Facebook, Skype or WhatsApp messages or look inside other commonly used apps.
When the fake tile is tapped, an error message of your choosing will appear and the actual app will not be accessed. To bring up the numeric touchpad for entering the access PIN code and opening the respective utility you have to keep pressed for a few seconds the lower right corner of the screen.
Unfortunately, circumventing the protection provided by this application is not difficult as anyone can start the protected apps from the main list.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The utility has an interesting look and the animations and visual effects give it a pleasant feel, but the advertisements spoil some of the fun. |
Function5
The application provides a quite useful means of stopping intruders from getting inside personal apps, but the protection lasts only for a few seconds as it can be surpassed extremely easily. |
Security7
One Locker needs to look into several secure areas of the system that are not related to its functionality, more precisely it peeks inside the owner and phone identity as well as into the phone dialer. |
Battery7
The power consumption of this app is above moderate when it is in use, but it remains at lower levels while the utility stays in the background. |
Price7
This tool offers an interesting way of securing personal info, but its has some limitations (others than those of the OS) that decrease its value and there are also the annoying ads that contribute to this. Those who want more features and a smoother experience can pay to unlock them. |
Compatibility8
Suited for use on the more recent handsets, the application only runs on Windows Phone 8 and above devices. |
