When I saw the ad for this app it said I could lock apps so you have to have a password to open them. To my slight surprise you can’t do that. The only purpose for the app without the premium version is a web browser witch is terrible and if you do want to buy premium you can just hide a few contacts and photos ### 1/5 — I’ve got a complaint *2019-12-18, version 2.0.2* When I tried to use this you have to get the premium version there is a button so small that you really can’t see it and also at first when I put my code in I was kicked out of the app multiple times do you have to pay to use the app so I give this a 1 star thus app is not good if you wanna use it for free ### 1/5 — Dumb *2019-12-14, version 2.0.2* it’s fake and so bad do not get or use ### 2/5 — 2ʀᴀᴛᴇ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴏғ 5 *2019-12-12* Tʜɪs ᴀᴘᴘs...Vᴇʀʏ sɪᴍᴘʟᴇ ɴᴅ Bᴇsᴛ ..ʙᴇᴄᴢ...ᴛʜɪs ᴀᴘᴘs ᴘʀᴇᴍɪᴜᴍ ʀᴀᴛᴇ ɴᴏᴛ ᴀʟʟʟᴏᴡ ɪᴛs ᴀᴘᴘs ....ᴍʏ ʀᴀᴛɪɴɢ 2 ᴏᴜᴛ ᴏғ 5 ### 1/5 — Stupid *2019-12-09, version 2.0.1* Im just looking for an easy app lock to keep my siblings from seeing certain things if they ever get on my phone. This app makes you get a subscription just to do anything on here it’s stupid. ### 1/5 — I am sorry *2019-12-08, version 2.0.1* This app is so bad ### 2/5 — Okayish *2019-11-29, version 2.0.1* It has a good potential... But you can’t really do anything without the full version. So it’s not useful to people with out the full version. ### 1/5 — It’s a con! They charge you loads *2019-10-20* Don’t download it. The money you download it it’s scripted to take out £9 a week and then more in app charges. It’s a con that apple haven’t bothered to check. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-10-14* So I see the app and think it’s a cool app so I load in to it make a password all that good stuff and I try locking apps and contacts and it didn’t work so I go in to the app and see if I did it right and I did so I try again and it says I need to pay for the so called “free” app and I have a card with no money on it so I try that it doesn’t work so I go to the reviews and I see good reviews but I see that the reviews are fake and the real reviews and all one star and I deleted the app wrote this and hope u know what you are downloading on your phone. Hope this helps. Have a a great day ### 1/5 — WASTE OF MEMORY😡 *2019-10-10, version 1.0.1* I CANT EVEN USE THE APP I REALLY NEED TO PAY JUST TO USE THE APP😡 ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-10-06, version 1.0.1* Never could get the features of this app to work after I downloaded it. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2019-10-05, version 1.0.1* Don’t work do not work it would not let me do anything ### 1/5 — I hate it *2019-10-04, version 1.0.1* Omg this doesn’t even work I got my hopes up for nothing 😡😡😡😡btw follow me on tiktok @Therealkbabycuter ### 1/5 — Premium forced *2019-10-03, version 1.0.1* When I start the app, I would not exit the premium screen that they show you when you open the app. It’s like they force you to get premium. This is my first 1 star review ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App öffnet sich nicht nachdem Bilder hochgeladen wurden *2024-10-27* Finger weg!!!

I will be deleting this app and looking elsewhere for extra storage👌🏼 ### 1/5 — Don’t believe the high rating. *2020-01-09* This app doesn’t allow you to use it, unless you pay a weekly fee, and the free usage stores legitimately nothing. I’m pretty sure to get the reviews up they used bots. Stay safe out there. ### 1/5 — Broke Me *2020-01-03, version 2.0.2* Don’t like it because you have to pay & im broke ### 1/5 — Wast of money *2019-12-29, version 2.0.2* I don’t want to have to spend money on a app ### 1/5 — Sarcasm *2019-12-22, version 2.0.2* I love this app This is the best app I’ve ever downloaded This app is very useful This app definitely doesn’t just freeze on the first slide This app does its job perfectly And these are the opposites of what the app actually does ### 1/5 — App is trash *2019-12-20, version 2.0.2* This app is a scam it forces you to pay do not download it your not going to keep anything safe besides give this app money🤮🤮🤮 i would rather watch anime for the rest of my life than this garbage ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Revenue increased *2021-07-21* "It's a great appღ.
