Increase your iPhone’s security and efficiency with PowerGuard [Sponsored]

Apple’s iPhone is an exceptional device if you know how to get the most out of it.

If, like many people, you’re new to smartphones or just extremely allergic to technology in general, you probably don’t. If you don’t, your iPhone may not be as secure as it could be or may not be set up for maximum efficiency.

Luckily, there are apps out there that can help you, including PowerGuard - a free (thanks to a limited-time price drop) security app for iPhone users.

The app was designed by developer Toms Zhang to protect your iPhone hardware and your most private data, such as your contacts, your photos, and your videos.

Download the now free PowerGuard app from the App Store, for example, and you’ll no longer have to worry about buying a fake or previously damaged and repaired iPhone. You won’t have to worry about losing any of your precious data if your smartphone is nabbed by a nefarious criminal either.

The PowerGuard app wasn’t designed solely with security in mind - it can also help to increase the efficiency of your iPhone usage.

If you purchase a new iPhone you can drag-and-drop your contacts onto your new device, for instance, and check on functions like CPU, memory state, and battery power. If you need to check on the warranty of your device or boost your phone’s memory, you can do that too.

Zhang is proud of every feature found in the PowerGuard app, but he’s especially proud of two components: ‘Memory Optimize’ and ‘Private Album’ - the latter of which is packed with a smart face detection element.

The ‘Memory Optimize’ feature will come in especially handy if you’re an avid mobile gamer who likes gorgeous-looking titles like Infinity Blade III or Real Racing 3. These types of games require lots of free memory, and PowerGuard can help them to run smoother by releasing valuable iPhone memory.

Over the next few months, the team behind PowerGuard will consider improving the apps features, including the newly added ‘charging screensaver’, which displays weather info and other tidbits on your iPhone’s display while it’s charging.

Also on the developer’s to-do list is an app security scan feature and the ability to backup your private messages.

PowerGuard is currently available to download from the App Store for your iPhone or iPod touch. There isn’t currently a dedicated iPad version of the app, but the smartphone app will run just as smooth on Apple’s tablet.

PowerGuard may be released on other platforms in the future, but iOS is the current focus, and will remain the focus until the app is ‘perfect’.

Grab PowerGuard from the App Store now for free. Be quick, though, as it won’t be free forever.
