Secret Photos & Videos 1.0.0.2

Add digital images and clips inside a secure vault and create protected notes onto your phone
Preserving the privacy of user information and of the data stored onto a mobile device is of the utmost importance and for this reason many dedicated applications have been developed and are available from the Store.

Among the many apps of this kind developed for Windows Phone users, Secret Photos & Videos aims to provide the needed security and a bit more, inside the same package.

Smooth graphics and well organized GUI

This application comes with a really nice appearance that relies mostly on the neatly drawn elements of graphical design. The content is structured in an organized manner, making it easy to access and handle, while the functions and controls are at hand.

Going through the lists of items that can be added inside the app is a breeze and the navigation among the various sections of the utility is seamless, without any delays or other kind of glitches.

The advertisement banners shown inside the application can become bothersome, as they are continuously changing and only a purchase will remove them permanently.

Import videos, photos and create text notes on the fly

The app allows you to create as many collections as you need and store inside images and clips from the local storage or you can take snapshots or record some videos to have them automatically included in the secure vault.

Secret Photos & Videos is also ready to host as many written notes as you need to keep protected and inside the dedicated area you can even rearrange the items after holding one of them for a few moments to reveal the command that allows you to reorder the notes.

Built-in browser and pattern-based lock method

The utility relies on a pretty common type of login, namely a pattern lock that you have to set up from the first run, but which you can change at any moment form the "Settings" area. Also, you will have to choose a password in order to be able to regain access to the app.

To facilitate the web navigation, you can rely on Secret Photos & Videos as it comes with its own secure browser that can be accessed right from inside the main menu. It is able to store your favorite webpages, but unfortunately it doesn't support tabbed browsing.

An extra feature of this utility is the monitoring of the downloaded content that can be also kept inside a special module, where it is safe from unauthorized access attempts. To allow others to view your images and videos, you can activate the web server component with one tap.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
 

The appearance of this utility is quite nice and it earns a lot of points from the visual perspective, as the only major letdown is the presence of the advertisements.

Function8
 

The images stored inside Secret Photos & Videos remain safe at all times and the extra features are a welcomed bonus.

Security5
 

This application needs to look inside too many sensitive system areas for no good reason, so it should be handled with care.

Battery4
 

There is a noticeable stress on the battery while the app is running as it needs a lot of power to function correctly.

Price9
 

Given the neat array of features it brings, the utility is a very good deal, as only the ad removal requires payment.

Compatibility8
 

The more recent devices that run Windows Phone 8.1 and above will be able to have this app installed and running well.
