2024-10-26 | App works pretty good EXCEPT I hate the fact that every time I unlock the screen... THE PHONE AUTO LOCKS, so I also have to put in the phones unlock code .. So essentially the devices gets DOUBLE LOCKED and I have found NO WAY to disable that... If there was a way, this would get a 5 star review. | ||
2023-08-14 | Downloader Beware: I got this to run over Dismey+, didn't work. Well thats whatever, I'm sure it works for what other people need. The reason I am giving it one star is due to how the app CHANGED ALL MY OTHER APP PREFERENCES (location, notification settings, etc) after I allowed the app to run over my other apps (I don't remember what that preference option was called). Yes, I was foolish and gave permissions to an app I shouldn't have. Was able to fix everything after deleting the app. | ||
2023-08-08 | Not only does the "draw an 8" never register, the app doesn't even fully lock the screen. The notification bar can still be pulled and interacted with which easily leads to the settings where the app does not lock at all. I found these out in this order when it didn't register after 20 minutes that I was drawing an 8 then happened to pull down. | ||
2023-07-27 | Its good for portrait watching but if u go on landscape it makes u stuck on the app is pinned pop up. Maybe thats because im on the newest android version but also, whenever i unlocked the screen it became stuck even if i unlocked the app. I had to close the app repeatedly to make it work. It has good potential and maybe it did work before, its just not as optimized as it was. I hope you guys could update it more frequently so I could use this to its full extent. | ||
2023-07-19 | App works great for locking out accidental touches while working in my lawn, the first time I was able to listen to music without interruptions of accidental touches, but when I'm ready to pull up the screen to leave my music app it freezes and won't let me pull up the bottom of the screen to leave, I must shut off the phone and restart to leave the screen. otherwise I would give it a 5 star. | ||
2023-06-20 | Worst lock screen app ever. I used the frame lock on my Galaxy S22 and it locked me out completely. I tried the figure 8, it did nothing. I rotated into landscape, portrait, etc, it closed the app (Facebook) then opened it right back up to same video. From there, the touch screen wasn't even locked anymore, There is nothing I can do to get Facebook off the screen. I had to reboot. Tried it several times. This is a major issue that needs fixing. | ||
2023-05-15 | I've tried several other locking apps to keep my toddler from accidentally closing out of a video that he was watching and this is the best by far. It works as expected with just the free version and has lots of different functionality. I would highly recommend it. I'll probably upgrade to premium both for the new features and to support such a great app. | ||
2022-10-15 | I used it before and it was alright, for some reason my son could still unlock the app at times. Now it's just annoying...so glitchy, it's asking for permission to lock all apps, while I only need it to work on one app and when I go back to the setting screen, nothing happens. I have to allow permission to the app over EVERY single other app... | ||
2021-05-04 | This app is frustrating. It used to work well, but now it doesn't work very well. It is very easy for my 2 year old to get past the touch lock. All you have to do while watching Netflix is swipe down from the top, and it stops the show. It also stops the show any time a notification is received. Sometimes it stays locked after the show stops, but sometimes it fully unlocks. | ||
2020-12-28 | This app has lost all of my confidence. I used it for about two month and it worked flawlessly. I paid for the 'pro' version in-app. I had it set up as securely as possible, requiring fingerprint or pattern to unlock. Accessibility service enabled. However since the update which changed the UI yet again (swipe left to trigger pattern/fingerprint), my 18 mo has consistently been able to unlock it while using over MX Player Pro. Have found an alternative which works. |
