Android is the most popular smartphone OS as it boasts the
user-friendly features. The security of an Android smartphone is something that
should be taken very seriously. Even though the Android phones comes with
several screen locking features that would let you set passwords to lock the
screen, Android phone is easy to hack and vulnerable to threats. A simple swipe
lock is not enough to keep your data, installed apps from wrong hands or prying
eyes. These days most of the people are using the smartphones to carry their
important documents, Emails, images and other sensitive data.
Thus, traditional lock screen is not quite convenient to unlock
every time. It becomes quite irritating and you have to enter the passcode
every time the screen times out. Better is to just protect specific apps which
contain all the important data. Luckily, for Android smartphones Google Play
Store do has some decent security apps to set password lock or draw pattern
lock to some specific apps. You don’t have lock the entire device.
If you are looking for simplest, safest, fastest and most powerful
app to security your phone privacy, here I am going to review AppLock made by
IVYMOBI. Here is my complete review of the app:
INSTALLATION:
Install AppLock_IVYMOBI is normal like
other app installations. You can directly install on your devices via Google
Play Store.
USER INTERFACE:
After opening the AppLock, it shows the
screen with two straightforward options. The app lets you lock individual user
and system apps with a PIN or pattern of your choice. You can either set PIN or
Pattern to start using the app. For PIN option, you need to enter maximum four
numbers, whereas pattern supports at least 3 dots to set lock screen.
Once you have done that, the app takes you
to its home screen, where you will find the installed apps and system apps
listed under Application.

WhatsApp, Messenger, Vine, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and WeChat and so on.

●Intruder
Selfie:
Intruder selfie, without doubt, is
one of the most amazing features that you definitely have to know. With
intruder selfie, your smartphone can automatically capture the snoopers who try
to break into your phone privacy, you can clearly know that which app the
intruders trying to open. Please bear in mind that if you want to use the
Intruder Selfie, you have to allow the AppLock access phone Camera.
●Replace
App Icon:
Unlike the feature to hide the app
icon, it ensures you to replace the app’s icon with something else like the
Calculator, Weather, Clock, Calendar or Notepad. Hiding the app is good enough,
but it’s time-consuming when you try to accessing the app through the dialer
(what if you forgot the code……) Well, you can reset it for sure, but that takes
a little bit of time right? With these faked app icon, no one else but you have
the ability to access the AppLock.
SETTINGS:
The AppLock’s Settings screen
allows you to customize app settings like Pattern, passcode delay (Always lock,
5 minutes or until screen off), Reset Password and Notify to lock new apps.
1, Reset Password: You can either reset Pattern Lock or Pattern Lock.
2, Require Password: By default, after a protected app is unlocked,
AppLock re-locks it on exit. This option lets you to set time interval of delay
in opening apps.
3, Notify to lock new apps: This feature intimates you to lock every
new app after immediate installation. It is helpful to add app easily to
AppLock_IVYMOBI after installation.

-Lock Gallery and Photos. Keep your
Privacy.
-Protect your Social Network apps.

intention. The app look good with color combinations, easy to navigate and very
easy to use. It is one of the best apps to protect your Android device
