AppLock Customer Insights

1. I tried locking What'sapp and every time I go to open the app, it goes straight into the app instead of asking me to enter a password first! It doesn't matter how many times I reset my phone, unlock and lock it again or just play around with it.

2. First post: Been using this app for quite some time very successfully, but bought a new Motorola phone with Android 10 and it no longer works on any apps except its own.

3. Bottom line, it's always worked very well for me and I highly recommend it to protect your privacy! Thanks and a great job to the developers...It won't lock all the apps you want it to.

4. I noticed that possibly the other Apps or the phone itself will turn this App off giving the appearance that it doesn't work or function well.

5. Many app locks are providing this feature as it improves even furthertoo unstable! Works for a short time then my phone is blinking all over the place.

6. Also I do not think ads have been displayed every time AppLock is opened!once I downloaded applock it was okay and it worked fairly well but then I realized it was really draining my battery.

7. so I do not recommend this app.Update: It went back to working fine for a while after the app was updated, but now on Android 11 it locks me out of YouTube whenever I finish watching a video and try to go back to the homepage.

8. Still haven't found a proper one.. gonna uninstall.. sorry..Wth. This has so much potential! But it just doesn't respond 100% of the time.

9. I will add that I am running Fluid N.G. and noticed that it prevented me from using the Battery Saver option in AppLock.

10. :(The app is good, sometimes the lock applies after a few seconds and the app which is locked can be used for a few seconds.

11. One major missing part which I felt was that the key board on the lock should keep changing so that no 1 is able to see the code.
