This locker padlock app is the bomb.com. I now know how to unblock and lock my locker! ### 5/5 — Title *2021-08-30, version 1.0.4* Good ### 4/5 — Thank You *2021-08-19* My son was very upset his first day of school due to the fact that he struggled with opening his locker. This App Was Extremely Helpful!!!! ### 3/5 — Way too slow *2021-08-15* Great concept and user friendly but the lock turns painfully slow. I understand that it’s probably slower to help new learners but it’s so slow that it’s actually hurting the process. ### 2/5 — Locker *2021-08-09* I’ve been doing it correctly, but it’s not letting me twist left. I wasted a dollar on this. It’s not working and is very slow. I’ve been re-trying. It’s only worked 1 time and school is starting soon and I don’t understand how to open a combination locker ### 5/5 — I WILL SURVIVE *2021-07-20, version 1.0.4* I will survive middle school now thx, btw worth the cost :) ### 5/5 — Would reccommed if you need help opening your locker or your struggling with it *2020-11-19, version 1.0.3* I need to open a locker in my gym class and I always needed help and didn't know how to open it so a girl from my class would always help me but I hate asking for help and my teacher only gives us five minutes to change out and Change back into our clothes and I didn't want to waste time.In conclusion this app is worth it because I can now open my locker In a good amount of time. ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT SO MUCH! *2020-09-23* I just started middle school and my teacher didn’t go through how to open a locker and somehow eneryone else in my class knew how to open it and I couldn’t I only paid 99 cents and it was a life saver! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very Disappointed *2023-08-05* Trying to help my 12 year old since he has 2 lockers with build in combination locks making it impossible to practice at home. Found this app & was very excited…only to discover you can only TURN THE TO THE RIGHT (counter clockwise) MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE to practice when you need to spin to the left for the 2nd number. Very disappointed. **Developer response:** With these kind of locks you need to spin the lock counter clockwise at least two spins (once past your combo number) then to the number. Think of those extra spins as resetting the lock tumblers. Then you can go the other direction straight to the second combo number, then back counter clockwise to the final combo number. This is what most people get wrong they don't do the two spins at the beginning. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2022-08-25, version 1.0.4* I don’t write reviews very often but this was a complete waste of money. ### 1/5 — Could be better *2021-09-03, version 1.0.4* It’s too slow but like the idea ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2021-08-26, version 1.0.4* you can only spin it one way and when you spin it it doesn’t even spin smoothly ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2021-08-12, version 1.0.4* Warning do not BUY! These reviews are fake and want people to buy it. It only turns one way so pls don’t buy it ### 1/5 — Don’t trust the good reviews! *2021-08-09* I was debating on whether or not i should try this app out because of the bad reviews. I thought since there were so many good reviews that it would be just fine but the app ended up not working correctly and being a waste of money. The lock was only able to turn one way making it impossible to unlock it. ### 1/5 — Not good *2021-04-28, version 1.0.4* For a dollar this app definitely isn’t worth it. It only lets me spin it one way and the rotation is way too slow ### 1/5 — No counterclockwise!! *2020-10-02, version 1.0.3* The lock would not turn to the left (counter clockwise) ### 1/5 — Can’t turn left!! *2020-08-27, version 1.0.3* It will not let you turn left!! Please fix! ### 1/5 — Hate it!!! *2020-07-01, version 1.0.3* I was practicing but the lock would never let me turn left. I was so excited but now I’m disappointed... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great helped me out *2024-02-28, version 1.0.4* Best app for this ### 5/5 — Recommend *2023-09-20, version 1.0.4* YALL I LOVE THIS APP IF U EVER HAVE LOCKERS AND IS HAVING TROUBLE GET THIS APP I WAS HAVING TROUBLE TRYING TO OPEN MINE IN DANCE AND GOT IT OPEN IN LESS THEN TREE DAYS ### 5/5 — Great app for new middle schoolers. *2023-09-01* This helped my son so much with opening his school locker in middle school.
