App Lock is just what I was looking for!!

App Lock works great and was just what I was looking for. Once you learn how to use all the lock features you will really like it. You can also lock your account information and your phone passcode from being changed including the apps of your choice. And the password for App Lock is different from your phone passcode. It locks your apps for a time frame you set. So like if set for 5 minutes it will automatically lock the app you unlocked so you don’t forget to lock the app again. I started receiving an air one morning and emailed support and within a few hours they had to fix update. Great support. Thanks again

I bought the paid version. In response to a previous review regarding the free version: think about the value of your private information. The price of the pro version is WELL worth the cost of the upgrade. Team, this software is fantastic. Congratulations on a great application!The tweaks: Say you use the facial recognition (FR) feature of iOS to unlock an app you have locked down. FR evaluates your face, matches it, and redirects you to App Lock. I am using the app on an iPhone 15 Pro. My text display is set to large. Also I’ll refer to the control that displays the name of the app you were just using as the “back” text. I’m unaware of the proper name.Tweak number one: If you have a larger font set, the prompt that tells you to hit the “back” text is too large for the space it occupies. Consider making the prompt legible in such cases. Tweak number two: Allow that prompt to go away, either by expiration after a small number of uses or via toggle in settings. Once people catch on about how to use the app, perhaps they don’t need to be continually shown. Tweak number three: If the Dynamic Island is in use, the “back” text disappears. The current effect is now you have a prompt pointing to a control that isn’t there. Users must resort to swiping up and re-entering the app they attempted to open; it is now unlocked. Wishing you all the best!

Just tried this out and my first assumption was: all the thief needs to do is to delete the lock app and then they have access to everything that was locked. Nope! Your only option is to remove it from the Home Screen. As long as the app is “on” (locking apps), you cannot delete it. Cool. I like this. Now for the downside. In order to use any of the apps that you’ve locked you have to first open up this app, turn off the locks for all your apps, then use your previously locked app(s), then you have to go back to this app to re-enable the lock. There should be a way to open a locked app and then enter a pin or face/Touch ID to access it (much how apps with this built-in operate). This is too cumbersome and too many steps for frequently used apps. I don’t like this. What this is great for is apps that don’t offer this additional level of protection. Thankfully a lot of apps do (like bank apps) do. This uses Apple’s screen time functionality to lock you out of the apps you choose which is great, but again.. too many steps. The developer needs to work with Apple to find a way to bypass the lock without having to do the round trip steps. I’m gonna pass until there is something super sensitive that I have to lock out if my phone is stolen. The annual price isn’t bad… don’t raise it!

You are limited to only 2-3 locks until you have to buy the Premium, I ain't doing that. So don't use this appAlso did five star to show you guys not to use it if you don't like a limited app.
