Review summary

Users find SecureScreen useful for enabling screen pinning, especially when giving devices to children, as it prevents accidental interruptions. However, several users report issues like the app freezing the screen or disabling touch inputs rather than properly pinning apps. The notification needed to activate pinning sometimes fails to appear, and unpinning requires non-intuitive button combinations. Despite these drawbacks, users appreciate the app as a simple solution on devices lacking native screen pinning options.

Pros

Enables screen pinning or screen blocking functionality effectively on devices without built-in or easy-to-use pinning features.
Useful for restricting phone usage when handing device to children, preventing accidental calls or app changes.
Simple and straightforward to use for the app's intended purpose.
Works well on certain devices and Android versions lacking native pinning options.
Provides a workaround for users seeking screen pinning on devices where it is disabled or hidden.

Cons

App sometimes freezes or disables touchscreen instead of properly pinning the screen.
Unclear or missing notifications hinder usage; some users report no notification to activate pinning.
Unpinning can be confusing as users have to use button combinations, which is not always intuitive.
Does not actually pin the app but blocks the screen or app functionality, deviating from expectations based on the app name.
Some users claim the app does not work or is buggy on their devices, leading to frustration.

2022-11-30	St*****	This app does exactly what you want that no other app (even the paid for tat) seems to be able to do. There's a notification that appears. When tapped it enables Android's built in app pinning feature, and also prevents any other rogue taps from working. Works best if you use Android's button nav rather than gesture nav. Perfect for when you give your phone to a child. Cheers!
