Ratings and reviews

The app does not automatically lock when finished using it, this is a feature that I think should be on all secure folder apps. It seems to be very buggy I tried to move files out of the app and they simply won't move to the location I designated. There are a lot of strange permissions that you must agree to when installing the app as well I would steer clear of this app until they can work all the bugs out of it.

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.
