Pocket Lock intelligently locks and unlocks your phone for you. Just drop your phone in your pocket and it locks. Pocket Lock keeps your phone locked until you take it out, then it unlocks, allowing for easy use and preventing accidental activity in your pocket. Pocket Lock is great for phones with broken power buttons or flip cases.

Pocket Lock is easy to set-up and forget, since it starts automatically on boot, but it also offers advanced customization options. The app is completely free and has no ads. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, use the Send feedback option in the app to email me directly.

Features:
* Intelligently locks your phone using the proximity and gravity sensor or (accelerometer)
* Works out of the box
* Intuitive options allow for easy customization
* Keeps your phone off when in your pocket. No more pocket pictures!

Notes:
This app uses the Device Administrator permission. This is necessary in order to lock your phone screen.
Put your phone in your pocket upside down and with screen facing you for best results.
To uninstall, use the uninstall option in the app menu.

Ratings and reviews

The app works great overall, but the Alternate Lock Method function doesn't seem to work. It never locks the phone. Data it will take a few seconds to lock, but after several minutes nothing happens. I don't want to lose my finger print and iris unlocking. I don't like typing in my password in public, I just want my phone to stop pocket dialing and sending texts after I receive a phone call in my pocket.

Love this app, need it, it worked perfect in the past... Having lots of issues with it now. Please can you help? Worked like a charm on my CAT phone, had some issues with the Cubot, now the HUAWEI Y7 2019 it works for a few times then it stops working although it shows "running". I'm going to try it again and carefully go through the settings and set up. Let you know.

Great app! Almost perfect. It's a disappointment that I can't unlock the phone via fingerprint afterwards, but I can live with that seeing as it reminds me to build a better habit of locking my phone manually. Not to mention, there's no other app on the market which works as well as this one! Add a fingerprint unlock option and you'll get 5 stars from me.

What's new

* More reliable excluded apps
* Faster loading of apps for excluded apps setting
