About this app

πŸ” CrookCatcher: Your Personal Phone Security Guard
Worried about phone theft or snooping? Me too, that's why I built this app. CrookCatcher protects your phone by capturing photos whenever someone enters the wrong password, PIN, or pattern. Then, it emails you with intruder photos, GPS location, and estimated address. But CrookCatcher can do lots more!

🌟 Trusted by Millions
- 8+ million downloads
- 500M+ intruder photos captured in 190+ countries since 2014

πŸ₯³ Free Features everyone needs
βœ… Capture intruder photos
βœ… Detect GPS location
βœ… Send alert emails

πŸš€ Upgrade to PRO for Advanced Security

πŸ” Record Intruders in Detail
- Capture VIDEOS with sound for clear evidence of intruders.
- Use the back-facing camera for environment details.
- Auto-upload photos/videos to Google Drive for access on any device.

🎭 Outsmart Thieves
- Display a fake home screen to trick intruders.
- Show a custom lock screen message warning thieves.

🚨 Advanced App Security
- Hide the app with a disguised icon and name.
- Customize alert email subjects and hide notifications.

πŸ” Catch Even After Unlock
Break-in detection captures a photo if the intruder successfully guesses your password after failed attempts.

😡 Protection Against Shutdown Attempts
CrookCatcher can block the power menu, quick settings, and notification shade to capture evidence when thieves try to turn off your phone or enable airplane mode. CrookCatcher uses the accessibility permission to detect these elements on the lock screen. (Experimental feature, may not work on all devices.)

πŸ”‹ Battery-Friendly
Inactive unless someone enters the wrong PIN, ensuring minimal battery usage.

❗ Important Notes
- Unlock your phone once after rebooting to re-enable CrookCatcher.
- Not compatible with pop-up cameras or fingerprint errors.
- On Android 13+, a system notification appears when the camera is in use.
- Uses Device Administrator permission to monitor unlock attempts securely.

CrookCatcher offers excellent security features, but the subscription model can be a barrier. I'd love the option to purchase core features like App Lock, Fake Home Screen, Sound Alarm, and Hide Notifications with a one-time fee. Allowing ads for one-time buyers could make this viable. This would make CrookCatcher more accessible to users on a budget while still supporting premium subscriptions.

Hey Mike, thanks for your suggestions. Given the price of the subscription, what do you think would be a fair price for a one-time purchase then? And should it be for individual features or the whole bunch minus ad-free? Feel free to reply, either here to contact@crookcatcher.app. Best regards, Jakob
