2024-12-01 | manu puri | The issue doesn't happen when use light lock. thanks for your support. [earlier comment] In the latest update of November 2024. The app is not working properly with YouTube. When we enable touchlock, the youtube gets closed | |
2024-08-17 | James D | Works well most of the time yet still allows touches intermittently. I use it with ride-sharing so riders have something to watch during the ride. I check it regularly and some days it works perfectly and others I check and the screen is on something else and the lock is not working. I have to restart the whole tablet and start over to get it to work again. | |
2024-08-08 | Tesha Balam | The app worked better when it was free. Once I paid for it, it would no longer allow the videos to play when active. It literally freezes the screen even during video playback. That was my reasoning for wanting the app. DO NOT BUY, CONTINUE TO USE THE FREE SERVICE. 8/8 update- Developer, thank you for reaching out to resolve the issue. However, I uninstalled it due to frustration during a road trip with a 1 year old. Best, | |
2024-06-19 | Richard Grayson | App worked great before, now it stops YouTube and goes to the home screen. If I can watch a video with PIP it locks, but once I unlock it turns the screen off. Very annoying. Perhaps it's my pixel 6 update or the app update, but I'll fix the review of this issue gets fixed. Good app otherwise. Edit: Seems to be an update with YouTube and app pinning that makes this issue. Either way a fix would be appreciated. I bought the pro version before this stuff and it was very good. | |
2024-06-15 | Scott M | New review - Ads were put in place on a Massive scale. I reviewed stating it was too much and response was "buy premium". The ads are now tones back massively (indicating I wasn't the issue but they overdid the ad rollout). Now free version will auto stop at some point. It states you have run out of unlimited unlocks foe the day. I had used no unlimited unlocks, just one lock, for 20 or so mins. I won't be paying for the app, you change your features drastically and the way you monetise also | |
2024-06-06 | Matthew Steffen | It works well with YouTube but not Amazon Prime Video (it's not a RAM issueβI tap the icon to lock and the video pauses. I double-tap to unlock and the video resumes). Unfortunately Amazon Prime Video is the main app I wanted to use this with, so it's not a fit for me. Otherwise a good app! | |
2024-03-30 | Lara | I was really excited about this app but it has a long way to go. It only worked about 30% of the time- it would say the screen was locked but most definitely was not, or I'd hit the icon to lock the screen and the app it was overlying would shut down or a number of other things. When they asked me to pay I decided to uninstall, not going to pay for something that doesn't even work properly. | |
2024-01-25 | Liz Barnes | Doesn't actually work. There's no way to disable pulling down the screen access to notifications and settings. If they make it so I can disable ONLY through the icon + fingerprint or pattern, I will gladly change to five stars. Because it will actually do what it is supposed to do. Lock the screen!!! | |
2023-08-22 | Try me I'm Already a Ghost | APP WORKS PERFECTLY. App doesn't work AS IT'S SUPPOSED TO. When the phone is out of your pocket and you're touching the screen it won't let you do anything but when you put it in your pocket and later pull it out you find the app has allowed you to do random things unintentionally. Update: after recommendation from developer I changed settings and APP WORKS PERFECTLY. NOW MY PROBLEM IS YOUTUBE ACTING LIKE A SPOILED ATTENTION STARVED CHILD DEMANDING I TOUCH THE SCREEN EVERY VIDEO OR SUFFER W/ADS | |
2023-07-05 | Jenny Rose | Perfect! Exactly what I wanted - to be able to simultaneously listen to YouTube in a pop out video window while completing my visual timer to do list using the Brili app which only works with screen on (which drains battery π) BUT when I put phone in my pocket, THIS app lets me do all that plus turns my screen off yet allowing all of that to work in the background. Thank you! |
