Smart App Lock 6.5.4

Nowadays, people store all sorts of information on their phones including in apps. Moreover, upon start-up many apps automatically sign users in, thus posing a security risk for those who have sensitive information in their accounts.

You can never be too careful, so it's a good idea to lock your phone with a password and lock apps that contain private information on your account. Smart App Lock is a great tool to help you do just that.

Sleek interface that lacks instructions

For new users, an app locker can be quite confusing thus it's recommended that such apps should come with plenty of instructions and even a tutorial to get users started. But Smart App Lock lacks tips or any sort of instructions.

The layout is really well structured, with all tools at the top of the screen and the option to share the app on the top right corner. Aside from this users can make plenty of changes to the interface.

Lock various apps

The app comes with some settings that can be done to the lock screen. You can change the theme or the background, but it provides few alternatives. Smart App Lock helps you lock any application on your phone. Simply select from the list of all apps and adjust settings.

There's the option of turning on Fake Lock, which will show an error pop-up window instead of the standard lock screen, to deceive unwanted users into thinking that the app has crashed. In addition, you can set the screen to not turn off when using certain apps or not to rotate to landscape/portrait mode when certain apps are running.

Set up multiple passwords

Smart App Lock comes with many locking types, including passwords, patterns and gestures. There's the option of adding a hint, in case you forget the code. But there's no feature that would allow users to type in a recovery email.

The app lets users set up multiple passwords to protect their data. In addition, you can lock/unlock your phone via SMS text, in case you forgot it at home or somewhere else. It's quite surprising how many areas of your phone you can lock, using the app you can limit access to your home screen, to incoming/outgoing calls and texts, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

You can also set a schedule so your phone would lock automatically. For security purposes, the app can be set to take a picture/video when unlock is failed. In addition, there's an intrusion log email sending feature in the Observer section, to increase security and protection.
