We will continue to optimize it to make it better to use. ### 2/5 — Time limit on when it locks *2024-09-21* There’s needs to be a time limit on when the app locks. If I go into the app I can still get into even after I have closed it. There should be an option to lock it immediately after closing the app or time limit. ### 2/5 — Easy to bypass. *2024-08-01* You can simply delete the app and your apps are unlocked or just open the app and press unlock, it won’t even make you enter the passcode. Other than that it’s fine. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback. First of all, once you delete App Lock, then App Lock doesn't exist on your phone anymore, so it definitely can't lock your other apps anymore; secondly, you can set a login password for App Lock, which means that if you want to go to App Lock again to turn off the lock status of other apps, you still need to enter the password to access it. App Lock's login password can be turned on in the app's settings page. ### 3/5 — Help!!! *2024-07-28* After I locked some of my apps through App Lock, I deleted App Lock. Now, my apps are still locked. I tried downloading App Lock again to unlock my apps, but App Lock doesn’t have previous information of locking my apps and thus not able to unlock my apps. What should I do to unlock? **Developer response:** Hi, normally once you uninstall the App Lock, all the restrictions will be released. In this case you can head to Settings - Screen time - Apps with Screen Time Access - find the App Lock and turn off the authorization. After that, App Lock will not be able to restrict any of your apps. If you find that you still can't unlock your apps after turning it off, then it's definitely not our App Lock that's creating the restriction, you can check if there are any other apps locker with Screen Time Access. ### 3/5 — Read the directions please 😭 *2024-07-26* Seriously make sure you read directions before you use this😭 I couldn’t get into my wattpad for 5 minutes **Developer response:** Hi, our App Lock is only locking the apps you choose, not restricting them, as long as you enter the correct password you set, you can access the locked apps at any time. ### 4/5 — Thaw review *2024-06-12* It is okay but you can not have over 50 apps locked at once **Developer response:** Thanks for your appreciation. The iOS system limits the maximum number of apps to 50. ### 4/5 — Okayish *2024-05-01* This app worked well ( better than the other ones on the App Store). Other than to immense amount of ads when I’m trying to put in the password, it worked amazingly. ### 4/5 — Can’t open app forgot password *2024-04-02* I feel like you guys shouldn’t add hints to help with password because I tend to forget my password and now I can’t even delete the app to reinstall or get into the app, but overall it’s a great app totally recommend ### 4/5 — it’s free n actually work this go hard , now I can lock anything . *2024-02-11* Thanks App Store who ever created this app .🩷✊🏽 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best app *2024-08-31* Honestly as a real human and not a robot typing this comment I love the app soo much , it is very useful .. however I just wish there was a way to hide apps too but other then that it’s a 10/10 I must recommend 💕 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-08-15* I’m writing this review as a real person who’s just was trying to protect the privacy of their phone with having to pay a monthly subscription for a app that doesn’t even act as simple and efficient as this app, i genuinely really like it and encourage Anyone who’s having privacy issues to get this app immediately lol, like honestly i think it’s amazing, it’s super simple and does exactly what you want it to do, which is lock up you apps and only unlock when typed the password. ### 5/5 — Hi *2024-08-11* Thank You so much for a safe and secure app for people that want any privacy of theirs locked with a password/passcode. ### 5/5 — Feedback *2024-07-27* Amazing highly recommend ### 5/5 — Nice app *2024-07-26* This app is simple and convenient to use.
