Spy Hunter 1.0.10.0
This application proposes an interesting and even fun way of keeping the phone protected by spotting trespassers who want to have a peek inside your mobile.
Inconspicuous spy detector dressed in bright red
The utility has a neat interface that includes some nice looking graphics for all the icons displayed in the main screen and throughout the app. All the commands and menus are conveniently placed so as to be at hand and easy to access.
The vivid red background cannot be customized and from time to time an advertisement will appear out of nowhere to cover the entire screen.
Highly customizable app for stealthily recording image and audio
Spy Hunter offers a wide variety of possibilities when it comes to setting up the app's parameters, so you can choose from several image resolutions, have up to 2 photos per second taken with the front camera for a time interval that ranges between 1 and 10 seconds.
Once the captures are complete, you can have the application close silently or make it display a fake PIN code to confuse the intruder. Also, the sound recording can be activated and you can receive notifications on Facebook and Twitter for hidden captures. The upload feature is unfortunately not functional at this time.
Extra features for blocking access to the captured data and daunting intruders
This utility can also sound a loud alarm if you activate this feature and also set a trap by placing a decoy tile on the Start screen that may draw the attention of someone trying to spy on you and make them press it to activate the capture.
As an extra precautionary measure, you have the possibility to create a real PIN code for accessing the application, viewing the hidden captures, modifying the app's settings or entering the photo gallery.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The utility has a decent look, with carefully designed graphics, but the bright red background can become bothersome if the app is used for longer periods of time. Also, the full-screen ads are not helping at all from the visual perspective. |
Function8
The application is fully loaded with features and comes with many customizations, but most of these are only available after a purchase. |
Security10
Spy Hunter is safe to use and it even brings some useful protection features that can help make the data stored onto the phone more secure against people who want to look inside while you are not present. |
Battery8
The power consumption for this app is fairly light, seldom reaching moderate levels, so the battery usage is kept well within normal limits. |
Price9
The wide array of features packed inside this tool make it a coveted app, but there is a (very small) price to pay in order to unlock all of them. |
Compatibility7
Only users who own a Windows Phone 8 and above device can have this app installed and running properly, provided their handset is equipped with a front-facing camera. |
Have fun ensnaring nosy people with your phone
