At my old school we had these in our gym locker and it was a very small school so literally nobody locked it but this year I’m going to a new school and it has locks of your actual locker so this really helped me to learn how to unlock a locker but I’m probably just going to put a ton of tissue in the lock so I don’t have to unlock it BUT this works well ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2024-08-18, version 2.1.0* Would love to have a stopwatch but you color it! Randomize the combination and is great for locker practice! ### 5/5 — App *2024-08-16, version 2.1.0* Good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Amazing. *2023-08-23, version 2.1.0* I transferred to a new school that had lockers, which wouldn’t be a problem. But, the last school I went to didn’t have lockers. We weren’t able to use them, so I had no idea how to open a locker. I came across this app and started practicing, which helped me and was very efficient! ### 1/5 — So stupid. DO NOT BUY!!!! *2023-07-29* Not worth the .99 cents. Should be free for this low of quality. It keeps getting its left and its rights mixed up, so when i do it like the instructions say to, it says im wrong. I have to do it the opposite way it says to, and god damit that is annoying. if your trying to learn your passcode during the summer, just know that the people that made this app have no clue what theyre doing and dont know their left and rights. **Developer response:** Hey! I’m very sorry to hear the app isn’t working for you. I’m not able to reproduce the problems you’re having, but feel free to send me an email at jwrand16@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help figure it out. - James ### 1/5 — Really? *2023-07-07* Did you REALLY think this is useful for anyone, even a single soul, on this earth? Apparently you did... **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for the feedback. Sorry you didn’t find the app useful. The goal of the app is to make it as easy as possible to learn to open a combination lock. If you have any suggestions for how that can be improved, feel free to send me an email at jwrand16@gmail.com. I apologize again for your bad experience. - James ### 1/5 — VERY BAD *2023-07-03, version 1.4.0* i tried very hard at this i think they need to do an example before js telling u things to do. like what am i gonna do i’m going to high school VERY soon like what let’s keep it abuck. ### 1/5 — Its not worth the money AT ALL. *2022-12-04, version 1.3.0* dont buy the app because its not worth it and it doesnt help. ### 1/5 — they don’t move good *2022-10-02, version 1.3.0* the lock moves to fast and not realistic at all they need to fix it and make it more like a real lock ### 1/5 — no *2022-09-06, version 1.3.0* This app is way to hard.🙃 I struggled ### 2/5 — The screen is to sensitive *2022-09-04, version 1.3.0* Does not work that well cause te screen is sensitive ### 2/5 — You get what you get *2022-08-30, version 1.3.0* It’s ok I mean in my opinion I don’t think that it’s really worth 1 dollar I mean if I was paying that much just for this one lock then I wouldn’t have bought it I would add different type of locks. ### 3/5 — Ehh its mid *2025-09-26, version 2.2.1* The fact it helped but i still wasnt able to open itttt because they were not being so specific like do i turn it 3-2 time to to reset orrr (dw i learned over 1 week ago it was aight ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — the app helped me in 6th grade *2026-08-20, version 2.2.1* the first year of middle school is always rough, but learning how to open your locker makes everything easier.
