SafeGuard 1.0.0.0

A virtual vault to hide right onto your phone all your images, passwords, contacts and more
Preserving the privacy of personal data and avoiding having the credentials for accessing various services stolen are some of the main security concerns of the modern times.

This means that there are numerous users who are constantly on the lookout for the best ways of protecting the content stored onto various devices, especially portable ones.

Tailored specifically for Windows Phone devices and able to accommodate several types of personal information, SafeGuard is an application that can help you shield website logins, links, photos and also create encrypted notes or diary entries.

Well organized GUI with a decent look

The application offers a tidy interface, without any adornments, but featuring some carefully drawn graphics that are consistent throughout the utility.

There is a noticeable when the application is starting up, so you will have to wait a few seconds for the login screen to appear. The content is structured in an organized manner, making it easy to access and handle, while the functions and controls are at hand.

The navigation through the various sections of the application is fairly fluent, but there is a quite visible downside related to the visual aspect and it is represented by the presence of some ad banners inside the GUI.

Add the content on the go and manage it with ease

When it comes to creating new entries for securing passwords, notes or links, this app offers an intuitive method that allows you to get the job done from a single screen. Nonetheless, the data input procedure is quite lengthy, as you have to fill in all the fields in order to save the respective entry.

Even for the images you can store inside SafeGuard you have to provide a title and a description, even if this information is not displayed when browsing the pictures.

A major letdown is the fact that photos not only have to be added one at a time, but you will also have to go through them and view the pics one at a time, without being able to zoom in.

Creating a list of contacts that is visible only from inside this application is another options at your disposal and you can even add multiple diary entries to keep track of any important events.

You can write down some notes and have them safely stored in the corresponding section, while the "Links" module is able to take care of your preferred webpages, which you will be able to open from that section.

Deleting and unlocking items is done with one tap, so there are no issues there, but if you want to remove several entries at a time, this is not possible either, just like editing the existing entries.
