Save your 1.99. NO UNLOCK ### 1/5 — Worse app ever, worse service ever. *2016-06-02* Don't waist your time, this app is just a big joke, I even tried several times to contact there support team no respond. Not even worth one star. ### 5/5 — Grest locking remotely app *2015-12-17* Just fantastic and simple. One thing I would like to have in the app is to choose the way it locks. Instead of real lock to use go to sleep CTRL+SHIFT+EJECT. It great works with another app Knock Knock, that unlock the mac :-) Thanks and keep going guys... ### 1/5 — Very, very bad. *2015-09-08* Very bad, very poor, very useless app. Not always work. ### 1/5 — Very bad *2015-09-05* I just tried it, I was very excited at the beginning but I got disappointed, at first it locked perfectly, but when I tried to unlock my MacBook Pro the screen turned black only showing the mouse and nothing else, it just froze at black, i had to shutdown my laptop and then I tried it again and the same problem occurred. I cannot recommend it to anyone as long as this problem will happen every time ### 5/5 — Works like it says. *2015-09-03* Not sure if it a Mac issue another reviewer is having problems with but this work fine on my PC. People should look in to why things aren't working for them before leaving bad reviews. It's rather inconsiderate to the developers. ### 1/5 — Very poor app *2015-09-03* Just tried it with my MacBookPro and not able to unlock as it either kills all the apps as finder doea not show any on unlocking. My warning save all your work before even thinking of trying. Not worth the effort i took. ## Frequently asked questions about LockItUp ### How does LockItUp work?
