Protected Text 1.0.0.2
Windows Phone users can choose one of the numerous specialized tools of this kind and one of the apps that offers a simple approach to writing and storing texts securely is Protected Text.
Easy to use GUI, with a simple layout
This application offers a clean interface, with some carefully design graphics that are not flashy, but well appropriate for such a utility. Going through the few sections of the app is smooth and without any delays or other glitches.
The functions and commands are all kept at hand and you will not have to go through any complex menus to reach the available configurations. A visible nuisance is the presence of the ad banners in the lower side of the screen where they keep on changing and flashing.
Password security for quick notes
Protected Text relies on a fairly basic method of keeping the texts you write private, as it enables you to add a personalized passcode to access the document. Modifying the access passphrase is possible and very easy to carry out.
There are no extra security measures, backup or recovery options, so you will have to make sure you keep the password well because otherwise you will no longer be able to open and view or edit the text.
Write and share text on the go
The utility allows you to easily type in the content you need to keep secured, but it doesn't provide any editing or text customization features.
The management options for the stored text are also scarce and in fact you will only be able to save modifications or clean the contents of the document with one tap.
When you tap the "Save" command there is no confirmation that the operation was carried out successfully, so pressing it at least one more time to make sure might become a habit.
In case you want to share the written content you store inside Protected Text, the app provides a single method of sending it out directly, namely inside an email message.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The appearance of this app is common, but rather plain, so even if the theme adapts to that of the phone it scores only a few points from the visual perspective. |
Function4
Very basic in terms of provided security and text input as well as handling, Protected Text needs a lot more than it currently offers. |
Security8
The utility require access in some secure areas of the system, some of which are not related to its actual functionality. |
Battery4
Even if it seems a simple app with basic abilities, Protected Text takes up a considerable amount of power while running. |
Price9
All the features packed inside this application are free to use, but there rare some annoying adverts to put up with inside the GUI. |
Compatibility9
Tailored for use on the more recent handsets powered by Windows Phone, the utility needs version 8 or higher of the OS to function. |
