App Locker Pro 2.0.0.0

Secure the access to your apps so they cannot be launched for the Start screen by anyone
The protection of mobile devices and especially of the information contained inside is really important for every one, so many people are looking for methods of keeping their private data safe.

For those who use a Windows Phone powered handset and want to make sure accessing installed applications from the Start screen without their permission is not possible, App Locker Pro might come in handy.

Uncomplicated front-end, easy to work with

This utility greets you with a simple interface that features a tidy layout, without flashy effects of appealing elements of graphical design. Instead, the practical aspect seems to be predominant, as all the app shortcuts that can be pinned are kept at hand inside the main screen.

Nonetheless, there is a downside you will surely notice quickly as it is related to the presence of some advertisements that come in the form of animated banners that seem to be stuck to the lower part of the screen. Some reminders that prompt you to rate and review App Locker Pro will also start to appear after a few uses.

Double protection for opening the protected apps

The utility relies on an access code to allow the launch of selected apps and as soon as you start the application for the first time you will be prompted to set it up.

Thus, you can add a numeric or alphanumeric with symbols password and also opt for a pattern lock. These can be changed at any moment by accessing the dedicated section of the application.

App Locker Pro can protect the access only for the apps that are installed onto the phone and are included in its database.

However, you should note that launching those utilities from the Windows Phone list is still possible, as this utility cannot ensure their protection in there because of the limitations of the operating system.

Send secure tiles to the Start screen and set the alarm

With this app you can easily choose and pin the desired tiles that will be used to access the corresponding applications from the Start screen.

A handy feature of App Locker Pro is the ability to keep a record of the successful and failed attempts to open the utilities under its protective veil and you can view them from the "History" section.

Even more useful is the alarm function you can activate via the "Settings" menu and which will trigger a powerful alert sound when a number of wrong attempt to open an app has been reached.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
 

This application offers users a decent GUI, fairly well organized, but with many adverts in there as well.

Function9
 

App Locker Pro brings a neat idea, but the OS limitations get in the way of a perfect protection and it needs more apps on the list of protected utilities.

Security7
 

The utility needs to look inside many sensitive areas of the system and some are not related to its functionality.

Battery5
 

While running, this app takes up a considerable amount of power, so the battery usage reaches pretty high levels.

Price9
 

All the features that are part of this package can be enjoyed freely, but users have to endure quite a few ads as well.

Compatibility9
 

Made to work on the more recent devices o the market, the utility needs at least a Windows Phone 8 handset to function properly.
