Smart AppLock: Privacy Protect 4.3.7

App lockers are usually your second line of defense after the main screen lock. An app locker is very useful if you hand over your unlocked phone to a friend or family member for some work but they try to go to apps that you don't want them to. This is because app lockers add an additional pin or pattern lock to specific apps with access to the apps restricted until you know the specific pattern or pin code. A good app locker should offer multiple protection options in order to keep selected apps secure from intrusion. Smart AppLock is an app that promises security for the apps on your phone as well as other phone improvement features.

Smart AppLock has a very user-friendly interface. The app's homepage highlights its main feature so that people looking for an easy way of locking up their apps can get the job done within a couple of minutes. The good thing about the app's homepage is that it shows the other features the app has to offer at the bottom of the screen so that you can also explore and use them as per your convenience.

It is very easy to use the app locker. The app offers the options of choosing either a pin or a pattern as the lock type. When you will be setting up the app the first time, you will have to save your pin code or pattern. It is important to set a pattern or pin code that is different from your home screen's pin code or pattern. Once you have setup the password, you are then required to choose the apps that you want to protect. You can add any app that you want but it's recommended to use the app locker on personal apps that you don't want people to access at all. Smart AppLock has an interesting feature that also allows you to lock system tasks like attending calls and installing and uninstalling apps on your phone.

Smart AppLock also has a lot of other features that ensure good security in all cases. There are two main features that are very useful in this regard. The first one is called Intruder-selfie alert and it is used to identify people who might be trying to snoop around in your phone. If enabled, the feature will secretly take a selfie if anyone inputs the wrong password or pattern when accessing any app locked by the app locker. The second one is called Disguise Cover and essentially doesn't let anyone know that you are using the app locker on any app. The function works by displaying an error code whenever a locked app is launched. This helps ensure that people don't ask you about your pin code for any locked app either as they would simply think that the app isn't working for one reason or another.

Smart AppLock has multiple phone improvement features too that are extremely useful. The features include a junk cleaner, a phone booster, a battery saver, an app manager, a CPU cooler, a notification cleaner, a network analyzer and a similar photo analyzer. The functions work well and are excellent additions to an efficient app.

Features:

• Very easy to restrict access to apps of your choice via pin code or pattern
• Excellent Disguise Cover feature that gives an error message whenever a locked app is launched
• Impressive Intrude selfie-alert feature that takes a selfie of any individual who inputs the incorrect pattern or pin code
• Terrific phone boosting features like junk cleaner, CPU cooler and batter saver

Conclusion:

Smart AppLock is an app locker that offers excellent security with its intruder alert and disguise cover features. The app's useful phone improvement features like junk cleaner and CPU cooler add to the utility even further.
