Secret Videos 1.0.0.2
For those who own a Windows Phone powered handset, there are quite a few alternatives when it comes to utilities that are meant to protect the content kept on the mobile device and Secret Videos is one of them.
Plain looks for a well organized layout
The interface that greets you once you install the app onto your handset is quite dull and unadorned. The controls (not too many) are all neatly tucked in the main menu that resides at the bottom of the screen.
The live view when recording the videos is responsive and fluent, while the playback quality is very good, without glitches of other kind of issues.
Nonetheless, there is a noticeable letdown that follows you around while using Secret Videos and it is represented by the occasional full screen adverts that appear once in a while.
Select the items to be protected from various sources
This utility will make it possible for you to transfer inside the secure vault the clips stored onto your mobile device inside the "Camera Roll" folder or in other locations on the local storage.
Also, in case you keep the videos onto an attached SD card or inside your OneDrive account, importing them is possible as well and with minimal efforts. It is important to note that only AVI and MP4 format files are recognized and supported by this application.
In case you want to capture a fresh clip and have it saved automatically saved inside the protected storage, Secret Videos is ready to help you as well, because it can access the on-board camera and record anything you want.
Basic protection, smooth playback and simple file management
The security provided by this utility consists of a simple password you can set by accessing the dedicated section from the main menu.
Unfortunately, if left running in the background and recalled from the list of recently used apps, Secret Videos will no longer require the access code, so the data is exposed.
In case you want to watch any of the stored clips, the usual playback controls are at your fingertips, while removing items from the app's database can be done very easily, by pressing for a couple of seconds any item to reveal the deletion command.

Bottom Line
Design / UI4
The unappealing design of the front-end has very few if any elements in its favor and the full screen advertisements make it difficult at times to work with the application. |
Function5
The utility is able to import videos from several locations, but the protection it offers is less powerful and the files cannot be structured in custom folders. |
Security8
The application needs to look inside several sensitive areas of the system, but some of them are not related to its functionality. |
Battery6
Secret Videos takes up a large amount of power while running, so it is no surprise that the battery usage reaches high levels. |
Price8
As it offers every feature without asking for anything in return, the app is a good deal, the only problem being the pushy adverts that require a purchase to remove. |
Compatibility8
Those wiling to give this application a try will have to so on a Windows Phone 8.1 powered handset. |
