Please note that:
This app does not request the dangerous permissions such as Location, Contacts, SMS, Storage,... And it only uses the accessibility service to be able to detect when an app is being accessed.

If you have any questions, suggestions or bugs, please contact me at thesimpleapps.dev@gmail.com

FAQ:
• How if I forget the lock screen?
Because this app doesn't want to use Internet access (for your privacy), so it doesn't support password recovery via internet such as email.
If you forget password, you can clear app data or re-install app.
But if you activated the device admin and also locked Settings app, you will no longer be able to clear app data or uninstall app.
So please try to not forget the password!

• Why can't I activate App Locker again after force stop?
If you can't activate App Locker after already turned on the accessibility service for App Locker, then please try to turn off the accessibility service and turn it on again.

This is a great app. I only gave four stars because of an issue I have been experiencing. Sometimes one app will open another app on your phone. For example if I go to my call app and touch text messaging it will open the text messaging app to text a person that I was going to call. The applocker will unlock the first app but when it's time for the second app to open up it will not work. It becomes necessary to close everything and reopen the second app after.

This is the best App locker I've tried by far. Simple and easy to use on Samsung A53 running OS 12 with One UI ⭐ Important to remember that you must turn off in app notifications so App locker can't be disabled in notification shade ⭐ Will review again and consider donating after I've been using the app for a while.
