This app locks both your phone and your individual apps, which means you can edit which apps or files other people may see/use when they use your phone. You may lock your apps with a pin number, your fingerprint, or a drawn pattern on your phone interface.

A security app that is difficult to disable

One feature of the app is that you can hide its icon under something such as a calculator icon, which helps stop people trying to uninstall it. As an added safety measure, you can disable its force-uninstall function, which means you have to be logged in to the app in order to uninstall it. Both the adverts for the app and the adverts within the app are for adults only, so avoid downloading this app for your kids unless you want them to see adverts with kids flipping people off and adverts for personal feminine products. Plus, despite the efforts of the developers, the fingerprint function is still very poorly optimized.

Helps you lend your phone to friends

Despite the fact that the developers have shown genuine effort when it comes to keeping the app updated and fixing problems that people report, this app it is not a paid app, which means the developers have no reason to keep adding features or fixing security problems. A coder, or somebody who is dedicated, will find ways to get into your phone. However, if you are looking to protect your phone and its files from people you know, such as people who you lend your phone to, then the App Lock app is a suitable option for you.
