### 2/5 — Need to improve

*2023-07-15, version 5.6.2*

Sometimes it doesn’t work..

### 2/5 — No sounds

*2023-01-16, version 5.6.2*

You can’t hear anything when to play videos please fix and is be great If you can rename the app its a dead giveaway

### 3/5 — Help!

*2022-04-18*

Every time I try to log into my messenger on the app it makes me log into the actual messenger app and won’t let me use it on here

### 2/5 — Sound unavailable

*2022-03-26*

When I tap a video to watch,the sound fails to display. It has been a long time that the developer fails to fix it. Disappointed!

### 3/5 — great but..

*2020-07-21, version 5.6.2*

this app works pretty well, but im displeased at the lack of snapchat. the social media selection on here is kinda outdated

### 1/5 — Wasted money

*2020-01-30*

Only allows from within the app you can still access apps from outside of the lock app

### 1/5 — Locked out

*2019-11-23, version 5.6.2*

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!!!!!!!!!! 

I have been LITERALLY locked out of this app for almost 3 months now! I can’t even get on my YouTube cause it’s under my social lock! Suppose to do my finger print, then it goes to my password where it won’t even let me put it in!? How is there a way to get in this, so I can just delete the app and have all my stuff separate?

### 1/5 — Hide apps

*2019-10-29, version 5.6.2*

Too difficult to figure out how to hide apps, the tutorial in app and the YouTube link were not helpful.

### 1/5 — Mine

*2019-09-16, version 5.6.2*

This app is nothing more than an in its toon to be hacked on any and every level you could fathom.

### 1/5 — Unfortunately the Issues with the app Outweigh the Security it Offers

*2019-08-15*

The app needs to allow for the user to add whatever apps he or she chooses. Instagram should be in it, as well as gmail, outlook, etc. Similarly, apps should be removable. I believe there are plenty of fish out there but no thanks. Its not a problem i have but i can imagine the scenario where the insecure gf, after inquiries into the “special folder” see’s that. Also, the apps that are within it have several glitches too. Fb doesnt copy at all and pasting is frustrating. Editing is frustrating, and the UI leads to unintentional exiting of the current place in your feed, taking you ALL the way back to the top, or out of the app altogether. Lastly i understand you need ads... i do, but a 30 second ad, 20 seconds after the previous 30 second ad i just watch, due to the unintentional exit due to the flawed design is rather annoying. Before you go thinking I'm just some giant Dooo shhh... this is MAYBE the second app review I've ever done. Im sorry but after around a week and half.. more or less, it is time to delete it. P.S. people shouldnt have to pay for an app to circumvent ads. The app should actually offer better or more features, along with ad exclusion. JUST in case someone was going to suggest a way yo avoid the ad frustrations. I wish the developer well. Hopefully they can fix the issues.

### 4/5 — It's a geart app but...

*2019-05-31, version 5.6.2*

You should add snapchat

### 4/5 — Please add What’sapp

*2019-04-29, version 5.6.2*

Just add what’sapp and you get a 5 stars

### 1/5 — No video

*2019-03-13, version 5.6.2*

The videos are no working most of the time

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-02-10, version 5.6.2*

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with updated IOS

The app will just continue to start and crash close whenever you try to use your face ID for any apps AND only takes you to the web browser version of your apps. NOT the apps downloaded onto your phone.

### 5/5 — Locked

*2016-07-26, version 5.6.2*

Really good way to secure ur app and et ur privacy

### 5/5 — The best social lock app!!

*2016-07-07*

This app is awesome! It is easy to use, and you can use your fingerprint instead of a passcode to login. It is perfect for keeping your social media secure from nosy siblings or friends that get ahold of your phone. It is fast, and operates very well. I prefer it greatly to other apps that offer the same type of service. Thanks!
