Used it for a while with no major problems. Really good. Only thing is that it sometimes lags to show the password slot when I open it. Also, constant notifications "you haven't used File Locker in a while", even though I used it just yesterday to hide stuff from my friends and family. Deserves 4 stars for these minor issues. Will continue using.

Hello everyone, For those losing access to your locked files, after you update to a new version, I have had the same problem from the older version, but when I installed version 5.3, I saw a MIGRATE FILES button which recovered my previously locked and hidden files. I hope this helps someone struggling like did.

At first I loved it however it started not protecting apps, I'd have to go in and reset them. But my reason for uninstalling is its a HUGE battery suck. Iwent to bed with my phone at 56% when I woke up my phone was at 3% I checked battery usage and it said this app was running at 147% sorry its gotta go and easily explains why I'm charging my phone up to 4 times a day.
