Private Album Free 5.2.0.0
Tailored specially for Windows Phone users, Private Album Free is a tool that will not only preserve images and movie clips under total seclusion, but it can even be used to capture these multimedia files and have them safely stored.
Cool interface, with a practical design
The application has a pretty neat looking GUI, with a nice background and a well organized layout to offer you a pleasant experience. The albums have each a thumbnail pic onto their tiles, which makes them even more appealing.
The navigation among the various sections of Private Album Free and through the files stored in the various albums you create is seamless and this is true for the slideshow as well.
A visible annoyance comes from the pesky ad banners that appear in the lower side of the screen where they are constantly changing.
Capture photos or record videos to add to the secure storage
With the help of this app you can easily select the images that are already onto your phone and which you want to protect by placing them inside private albums.
There is one thing you should note here, though, namely the fact that once you copy the pics to the protected folder, you will have to remove them manually form the local storage, as the OS limitations do not allow third-party apps of this kind to do that for you.
In case you want to take a couple of snapshots or even record a video using your phones camera, you can do this from Private Album Free and this way the output will be automatically added to the secure area.
Photo slideshows and image editing on the go
In case you want to do a bit more than simply create some photo collections, the application provides a powerful editor that will surely come in handy if you need to customize some pics before sharing them with your friends.
The pictures you transferred inside the virtual safebox can be viewed sequentially by activating the slideshow feature this utility comes with. You can set the timer and decide for how long each photo is displayed, but once the slideshow ends, the app might suddenly close for an unknown reason.
Another flaw that ought to be mentioned refers to the scanning of local video folders which Private Album Free doesn't seem capable to carry out as an error appears every time the "add" button is pressed inside a video album.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The sleek interface and smooth navigation give this app a good feel and a nice look, but the adverts can be really annoying and hinder the proper operation of the utility. |
Function8
The feature set offered by Private Album Free is pretty solid, but there are some functional defects that make it lose some points. |
Security3
Considering its purpose and functionality, the application is far too intrusive as it requires access to almost every nook and corner of the system for no good reason. |
Battery2
This app is very thirsty for power as it will drain the handset's battery after a couple of hours of constant usage. |
Price9
All the nice features Private Album Free comes with can be used without having to pay anything but a lot of patience with regard to the ad banners. |
Compatibility10
This utility is ready to work well on most of the Windows Phone devices on the market, as it suffices to have a handset with version 7.5 of the OS to get this app running. |
