Photo Lock Pro 2.6.0.0

An important number of users are less willing to show off to the whole world the pictures they take and many are disinclined to have other people going through their albums.

For them and others as well keeping these items inside a portable secure vault sounds like an interesting idea and now there are plenty of tools to help in making this happen.

Thus, Windows Phone users can try out Photo Lock Pro, an application that was made in order to serve as a dedicated protector for images and recorded clips.

Uncomplicated GUI, with a smooth look

The simple front-end has a pretty nice feel to it and moving through menus and lists of items stored inside is quite fluent. Also, the graphics are well designed, with a decent look that is consistent from end to end.

All 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.

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.

Safeguard the image files with two types of protection

Photo Lock Pro focuses on making sure your personal images remain private and cannot be accessed by anyone else, so it offers two modes of securing the access.

The first method relies on a classical password access code, while the second one will enable you to choose a pattern for unlocking the app.

Right from the first run you are prompted to provide an email address for password recovery purposes, so you can have a way of getting in even if you lost or forgot the access key.

Add pics and videos and view them inside slideshows

This utility makes creating albums a breeze, but you should note that only images can be added from the local storage, which means the videos you have onto your device will not be protected.

However, Photo Lock Pro can be used as a capture tool as well, so if you record clips with it, those files will be included inside the protected storage on the fly.

There is a very useful image editing toolbox at your disposal and it allows you to customize the pictures stored inside the protected albums with numerous tools, filters and effects.

Also, you have the possibility to make some custom slideshows and have the content inside the selected album shown in a more pleasant manner.
