Ratings and reviews

At first sight works, but if restart my phone ad try opening the "locked" app, it allows it and can use it for a minute (or so) , till App Lock wakes up and asks me to put pass. Also at the same time after restart, i can uninstall the App Lock. So, not safe. To the developer: Perhaps make the app lighter to start up faster?...

I've been using this about 10 days but it doesn't lock all the apps I've selected, sometimes it lets the app open & run for several minutes before it shows the unlock screen, and sometimes it wants me to unlock the app again when I exit the app. looking for a replacement, then will uninstall.

I want to be more constructive and social media, youtube and tumblr are taking precious time of our life. So in the quest to stop myself from lurativeness of internet. I found this app and for some time it was working fine but far.... But after restart it does not seems to be working. And in that time I can delete this app... and start waisting my precious time again on internet. please fix this and I will give u one million star rating.
