Photo Lock Free 1.2.0.10
For Windows Phone users there is a varied assortment of apps that fit this profile and among them you will find Photo Lock Free, a tool that is dedicated to protecting your digital memories.
Clean and easy to use front-end
The simple interface of the application has a smooth feel to it and the navigation among menus and lists of stored items is fluent from end to end. Loading the pictures to view or modify them takes a bit more time than it should, but other than that, the preview in the editing area is quite prompt and shows the changes almost instantly.
The commands and tools are conveniently placed in the lower part of the screen, so they can be accessed and used with no efforts, no matter the section of the app you are in. The advertisement banners shown inside the application can become bothersome as the banners are continuously changing.
Secure all your pictures and edit the photos on the go
The main purpose of Photo Lock Free is to make sure your images are safe and cannot be accessed by anyone else, so it offers two modes of securing the access. One of these methods relies on a classical password approach, while the other favors the more modern pattern-based login.
Creating albums is a breeze, but you should know that only photos can be added from the local storage, so the movies you have onto your device will not be protected. Nonetheless, if you use Photo Lock Free to record videos, these files can be included in the albums you create.
The image editing component is well represented and allows you to customize the pictures stored inside the protected albums with numerous tools, filters and effects.
