AppLock 2.06
Easy-to-use interface with many instructions
AppLock sports a clean interface that can be customized with multiple themes, available for free. All functions are neatly hidden in the menu and with plenty of space on the screen, since the app doesn't come with ads. In addition, the question mark icon on the top right of the screen opens a page with instructions and tips for each section, explaining in full detail how the app may block access to specific data on your phone.
Also you can set one of the three covers to be shown when a locked app is being launched. Each cover opens in a different way and is displayed before the key pad, for double protection. The app also comes with two plugins that you can install.
AppLock, location and time lock
Upon start-up, users must secure this app with a password and connect an e-mail account in case of data loss. With the touch of one button, the app blocks access to all applications installed on the phone and saves settings into a profile.
You can set up multiple profiles and make the app switch through them based on your location or the time of day. This is extremely beneficial, as the app can automatically unlock and provide you with access to apps, in a certain location, either work or home, or at a certain hour.
Photo and video vault
Sometimes our photos and videos need extra protection from unwanted viewers, so AppLock comes with a designated vault for storing such files. They will be automatically removed from your gallery and hidden in the app's vault, secured with a password or pattern lock. In addition to that, you can set the app to lock incoming or outgoing calls, so you'll make sure that no one can take calls on your behalf.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
Clean and well-structured interface that comes with themes and covers to hide icons of apps. AppLock also has widgets and shortcuts for the home screen. |
Function8
The UI may be non-responsive at times, but overall the app performs well. It comes with several layers of protection and more than one unlock mode. |
Security9
The whole purpose behind this app is to increase privacy of your data and in order to do so it must access all areas of your phone and also needs an email address. |
Battery8
Normal consumption of battery, considering that the app accesses your internet connection and location service for the location lock. |
Price8
There are three ways of using this app, either in the basic mode with only a few features available, the mode with all premium features but with annoying ads or the paid version free of ads. It costs 0.99$ per month or 5.99$ per year. |
Compatibility8
The developer didn't mention Android versions required for this app. |
A neat app for locking all the personal data on your phone.
