This app woks great except picture quality, can it be done with auto focus or snapping multiple pictures so we can have clarity in the photo? An idea would be if we set 2 attempt, first wrong attempt it would focus and second attempt it would snap.For 1 attempt, simply run multiple snapping thread, first thread would take instant photo so we won't miss the crook when he failed auth and the second thread in background will attempt to focus and automatically snap another shot for greater clarity.

So description says S5 is unsupported by app. Doesn't say S6 isn't supported. Paid you for nothing. Keeps saying camera not active please restart. Doesn't work no matter how many times you reboot the phone. Refund!

When setting up the email (WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE GMAIL!!!) it says at the bottom something went wrong with no possible fix or explanation.

Works how it's supposed to. Takes a pic of anyone who got the passcode wrong and you can set how many times they can get it wrong before it takes a picture. Pretty cool if your friend steals your phone and tries getting into it.

One of the best, trouble when using same email. I use the same email for both purchased lockwatch and crook. I have to use 2 different email. Now working good so far. Tested and location almost correct. I am using xiaomi redmi note 3 pro.

Good idea. But now in these the mobile authentication technic has been devided into two parts. One is screen lock and app lock And there is different password or pattern for both. But this app is only detect screen lock password. You can improve it with app lock.

Looking good, but would love if it had a few extra features. 1.) Pin unlock of the app. 2.) Audio clip along with photo. 3.) The ability to set quantity of photos and a time period. I really want to buy, but another app has the Audio clip. Are the above planned?

L'applicazione ha funzionato per un periodo limitato e dopo ha smesso di inviare le foto scattate. Ovviamente l'ho acquistata regolarmente. Spero riusciate a risolvere il problema, dato che l'applicazione è ben strutturata e molto utile!
