User reviews

Users find Smart AppLock effective and easy to use for app locking and privacy with useful extras. However, multiple reviews highlight serious security flaws like no uninstall protection and vulnerability at startup. Ads are often intrusive with no paid option to disable. Recent updates brought annoying unlock prompts and glitches. Despite fingerprint support and intruder capture being appreciated, the app's inconsistent reliability and intrusive ads reduce its overall appeal.

App can be uninstalled anytime if a person finds your phone unlocked and wants to see your locked apps. They'll just have to tap, hold, and uninstall the app, and all your locked apps will be open for them. There should be protection from the main settings locked by this app, and it should be able to prevent unauthorised uninstall.

I needed an app that would give me an extra layer of security on my phone. Free from prying eyes, so to speak. One feature I really appreciate is the option to capture a picture of anyone who might try to access my apps. I lock my messages because many times apps need to send a code through SMS to verify your identity. This way, if someone tries to change a password on my apps, the text message with the code will be locked up and out of sight. The app is very easy to set up and use.
