You can lock chats, gallery, banking, social and shopping apps in one tap, or lock whole groups like social, finance or game apps at once. Three lock screen themes (Night, Light and Signal) and custom lock colors let you personalize the experience, and a Protection Check on the home screen shows missing permissions, lock service and battery settings so you can fix them with one tap. The private vault hides photos, videos, documents and audio, with files encrypted and viewable only inside App Lock. Intruder selfies capture anyone who enters a wrong PIN, and Premium adds email alerts with photo and time as well as a spy alarm after repeated failed attempts. Smart Unlock skips the lock on trusted Wi-Fi or Bluetooth devices, such as your home or car. Other privacy tools include a decoy lock screen, a private browser that clears history, usage statistics, lock schedules and uninstall protection. App Lock is free with ads. A one-time Premium purchase removes ads and unlocks every feature. It uses Usage Access and Display over other apps, and device admin is used only for optional uninstall protection. Your data stays on your phone. ## Rankings - #13,410 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS` - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES` - `android.permission.REAL_GET_TASKS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS` - `android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC` - `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.alarm.permission.SET_ALARM` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES` - `com.huawei.permission.external_app_settings.USE_COMPONENT` - `com.lock.appslocker.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `oppo.permission.OPPO_COMPONENT_SAFE` ## Review summary Users praise the app as simple, useful, and highly secure, with several calling it excellent.
