About this app

Boost game battery performance - turn Screen Off while game is auto playing and help preserve battery life from screen usage, while keeping the phone safely locked in pocket.

🔋 Help preserve battery life with games running in the background - while walking around in AR games trying to "catch them all" in Pokemon GO or looking for foundables in Wizards Unite, or as a Pocket Lock for Ragnarok while farming.

👍 Using game automation tools or auto clickers - play them with screen off and extend battery life, as your screen is not needed while playing games with automation tools.

🏆 Use this gamers tool for all kinds of games like Augmented Reality, Simulations, MMORPG, RPG, MMO games, Adventure. Limit battery usage from screen time when you do not need to look at the game, like when you are auto farming in Ragnarok M Eternal Love or hatching eggs in Pokemon GO.

❤ Loved by the gaming community of Ragnarok M and Pokemon GO, based on our very successful app PocketLock : Read more here https://bit.ly/2JkuFpJ

😱 Turning Screen Off works only when you cover the screen, so when you lock you will first see a black screen, and when you cover top of your phone (proximity sensor), screen will really turn off.

🔒 HOW IT WORKS

1. While game is running, expand Android notification area and tap on Play Lock notification - this will put Play Lock on front of the screen, but the game will continue to run in the background.
2. Cover the top of phone screen with hand or by putting it in your pocket and the screen will actually turn off , which will limit battery usage.
3. Uncover screen and double-tap on the unlock button, which is visible in the top-right corner. Enter the unlock pattern if you have set one and Play Lock is dismissed.
4. You can also unlock with fingerprint on supported devices*

⭐ HIGHLIGHTS

- Limit battery usage by turning screen off while you play games.
- Locks screen and buttons , so that you don't get out of game unintentionally.
- Listen music in video players and keep phone locked safely in your pocket (in Transparent mode).
- Hides phone keys while watching videos, so that you do not get out of video players by accident.
- Automatically lock when you are not using the running game for a while (Inactivity Lock is PRO feature)
- Use AUTO mode to run Play Lock only on apps that you have pre-selected, and have Play Lock locking notification only when you need it.
- Keeps screen On when locked, so that the phone's screen timeout does not turn your screen off, while you play games that does not keep screen on (disabled by default - check in Settings)

🏆 PRO version

- Play Lock is supported by Ads, and you can buy the PRO version, which is Ad-Free.
- PRO version of Play Lock also includes Inactivity monitor lock, which will automatically Play Lock the screen when you do not touch the game for a given time (interval could be changed in Settings).

* Fingerprint Unlock is available to only limited number of devices after Android Pie, even if they have fingerprint sensor. So if you can unlock with fingerprint - you are in luck; if you cannot - do not blame us.

Ratings and reviews

Used this app and it's older rendition for a long time. ~Recently, an upgrade has caused me to be unable to interact with my screen at all if I open the program. I'm hoping for a fix soon. Will update my rating if that happens. Really sad this app stopped working. I'm on Android 12~ Edit: updating my review to 5 stars since the problem seems to have bee. Fixed in the last update. Thank you!

Not compatible with all games. Tested with EA FC mobile. Potentially a 5 star app if it can work on all games

Been using this for 5 years now since the initial version was banned from play store. Great support from the team to fix issues. Current bug on android 12 on floating button visible interfering with touchscreen is in the process of being fixed. Hopefully, will get the update soon. Latest update still did not solve the problem.
