This one is different — it works smoothly, locks apps instantly, and integrates perfectly with Face ID. Now I can hand my phone to anyone without worrying they’ll see my private stuff. It’s fast, secure, and doesn’t slow down the phone at all. Honestly, this app gave me real peace of mind. Highly recọmmended! ### 5/5 — Pour mon sécurité *2025-08-06, version 1.6* De mon téléphone ### 4/5 — It’s a good app *2025-05-29, version 1.6* It works well but u have to pay tho ### 2/5 — Why reveal charging fees AFTER asking for my info??? Be honest and up front for once!! *2025-05-26, version 1.6* I get so tired of these apps asking for personal information BEFORE revealing that you are charging prices!! ### 1/5 — Won’t give me refund *2025-05-19, version 1.6* Mistake ### 4/5 — App lock *2025-05-02, version 1.6* This app is great! Totally recommend. ### 5/5 — Rama *2025-04-28, version 1.6* Rama ### 5/5 — Nice and easy *2025-04-22, version 1.6* Lovely ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — You can’t lock apps 🤦🏽 *2026-03-15, version 1.6* Why? You can’t lock apps? That’s the thing. Can you not have a subscription? please fix it and Remove the subscriptions ### 1/5 — Is this a Scam??? *2026-01-12, version 1.6* I spent the 20$ only to find out there is no Siri & Search on my phone? I need either my money back or an updated process that actually works. ### 1/5 — Don’t even download it it doesn’t even work *2026-01-02, version 1.6* When I tried the hide apps it showed me numbers when I was finished putting the numbers I could not submit it it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2025-11-22, version 1.6* You can’t even hide any apps with this. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Locked out *2025-11-02, version 1.6* I’m locked out my account and can’t recover my business email account ### 1/5 — No sirve no te dejan probar *2025-10-18, version 1.6* 0 de diez ### 1/5 — Very bad *2025-09-16, version 1.6* This app is completely misleading. I paid thinking I would be able to hide important apps, like my banking app. It even has the option to “add app to hide,” but in practice it doesn’t work: I add the app, it shows as if it’s hidden, but it still remains visible on the home screen and I can access it directly without going through this app. In other words, it doesn’t hide anything. Very bad, I don’t recommend it to anyone. I’m giving it 1 star, and if I could, I would give 0. ### 1/5 — The rating is too low to support the high price *2025-07-06, version 1.6* I have not paid for this app nor will I the rating on this app is too low and why would I want some other developer to have access to what apps I’ve hidden, I would recommend anyone trying to download this app to instead research how to make their own app that way your items are truly safe from would be developers who are only human. If you know what I mean, even angels have their devious ways ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-06-20, version 1.6* Don’t waste your money. Does not hide the apps even with a subscription. Rip off ! ### 1/5 — App lock *2025-06-02, version 1.6* When I try to open the app it closes immediately afterwards ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — gesso *2026-08-09, version 1.6* mene ### 5/5 — VERYYY GOODS *2026-02-22, version 1.6* SOOO GOODDD ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-02-22, version 1.6* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Hmm!! This is the best! *2026-01-01* I really like how professional this app feels. Hidden apps are truly invisible across the entire system, including the App Library. The app lock is responsive, and I haven’t experienced any crashes so far. Great solution for anyone who values privacy. ### 5/5 — Great App!!!!! *2025-12-31, version 1.6* I’ve tried many app lock apps before, but this one is the first that truly hides apps everywhere — even from the App Library. That’s exactly what I needed. The interface is simple, easy to use, and works smoothly without bugs. Highly recọmmended if privacy matters to you. ### 5/5 — The Ultimate Privacy Guardian – Simple, Discreet, and Reliable 💞💞💞 *2025-12-31, version 1.6* I’ve been using "App Lock, Hide App" for about a month now, and it has quickly becọme one of the most essential utility apps on my phone. If you are serious about protecting your private data and ensuring certain applications are invisible to casual users—or even nosy friends and family—this is the app you need. The core feature—hiding applications—works flawlessly. It's not just a superficial folder move; the selected apps cọmpletely disappear from the home screen and app drawer. They are truly hidden and can only be accessed through the dedicated vault or by entering the secret passcode/pattern into the dialer (a brilliant, discreet access method). This is perfect for keeping financial apps, private chat logs, or work-related tools cọmpletely off the radar. ### 5/5 — Very useful and secure 🫡🫡 *2025-09-30, version 1.6* I tried this app and it’s extremely convenient. I can hide all my private apps like finance or personal chats, and nothing shows up on the home screen anymore. To open them, I just go inside App Lock, which makes me feel much safer. Before, I was worried when others borrowed my phone, but now I’m cọmpletely at ease. ### 5/5 — Secret Hero! 🙉🙉🙉 *2025-09-26* Seriously, this is an absolutely essential app if you have secrets... or just want to keep your privacy! I have tried many lock and hide apps, but App Lock, Hide Apps is the one that I am most satisfied with. My goal was to cọmpletely hide WhatsApp and some other personal apps so that no one, especially my wife; could find them. And it did! What I like most is that it is Cọmpletely Hidden: I actually hid WhatsApp and other sensitive apps. No matter how much my wife rummaged through my phone or checked the App Library, she could not find them. This app not only locked them but also disappeared from my home screen and app library, as if they never existed! ### 5/5 — No More Worries When Someone Uses My Phone *2025-09-07, version 1.6* I often let my kids or friends borrow my phone, but I always felt uncọmfortable thinking they might open my personal apps. Since installing this app, I finally feel safe. It locks everything I choose, and unlocking is super fast. The best part is that the app is very discreet — nobody even realizes I’m using an app locker. For me, it’s like having a personal security guard for my apps. ### 5/5 — This is so attractive to me and wife *2025-08-21, version 1.6* Am so happy --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
