Hola Screen Lock

Hola is definitely one of the best light weight efficient and powerful launchers available on Google play and I've been using hola from quite a long time but this screen lock app doesn't really make sense..one you install it asks for admin privileges nd once given it cannot be uninstalled until you re-set your phone using factory data reset..!!!

This apps useful for passive phone user like me. help alot on standby time. help me simply manage which apps on while the phone on standby. not useful enough for active phone user or gamer type. still big thanks! read down to who can't uninstal it. it's device permit issues. not the apps. i have great benefit from using it. so i won't mind the uninstal stuff. but it does work better if you inactivate system talk back. this apps suit what i need. no pop up ads on it too. ^^ thanks god and your Hola team.

ADWARE all over my phone, adclick web pages opening up all the time after install, every single thing you do, text, call, delete, take photos, even TURNING VOLUME up/down...it all takes forever. It WILL NOT allow me to deactivate or uninstall. LOVELY. [Insert sarcasm] LOOKS good/flashy/pretty..don't do it y'all

Nice app, just didn't need it so I tried to uninstall...not sure why but until today it wouldn't allow me to diactivate it as a device admin. I've gone to settings->security->device administrators a hundred times and tapped deactivate a billion times but until today it never deactivated, in fact it did absolutely nothing when I hit the deactivate button. For some reason though, even though I did the same thing today, it worked and deactivated.

To all of you lot who are complaining about how you can't get rid of it, it is simple! Go to settings, security (normally under 'More') then find 'Device Administrators'. Here you should see the name of this app. Simply click on it and deactivate! Problem solved!

The way to uninstall it when it says devise administer is go into settings the assibilties button or security there is a option that will say devise administer. When u click that open you will see there is a check by it touch the check to turn it off then once it's off you will be able to uninstall the program. Any programs that say that or simply won't let us uninstall them try there first that's normally the reason

I wanted to uninstall the app but it says that its an app device so it should be deactivated first before uninstalling it. This is just a fake app. Please do something with your app so I can uninstall it because its eating up my space storage. Fix it or I'll report it as spam

This is bullshit. Its like a piece of gum stuck in your pigtail. Good luck getting it off... (Your phone!) What the hell kind of app plugin is this? Spyware? It doesn't deactivate or uninstall. W.T.F?

Every time I open lockscreen it pops up a message saying such many apps have been stopped and bla bla bla.. And I've to wait till the message eases off to use my phone. That's a bad idea.

I think it is useless. There is no need for me to turn off my phone with the tap of a button. If this app let you customize your lock screen, then it would be good. But as of now, I hate it.

This app slows my phone down. And is very useless since I've uninstalled the other app. I should be able to control uninstalling an app from my phone not someone else. Please deactivate it. It's wasting space in my phone storage.

It is useless. It is easier to just press the off button. And I try to uninstall iy but it won't let me... I even took it to Samsung but the damn thing is still here. I just got one thing to say, DO NOT INSTALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update: to uninstall go to your settings>security>device administrators>deactivate. Then go to applictions manager on phone and uninstall. Does anyone know how to uninstall? I accidently added it but it is not needed on my phone (s6) and it won't deactivate or uninstall.

This app is linked with the launcher. We can't use it without downloading and installing the launcher. This policy is totally wrong. You guys should allow it to work alone without the launcher. I'd give 5 stars if you'll do so.

This app takes up way to many gigabytes and won't uninstall. Because you have to deactivate it to uninstall it doesn't allow you to deactivate it at all. If I were you I would just get a whole different launcher.

It won't let me lock me screen or de-activate or uninstall, drains my battery, a waste of time and storage. And yes, I did follow all the instructions to de-activate/uninstall it, I highly suggest you not install it.

It will not lemme uninstall dumb app. Keep saying app must deactivate. Ugh! I figured out how you uninstall it. First you go to settings, then click security, then you wanna click on device admin, then hula lock should be there and click on it and click deactivate and then you can uninstall it

Go to phone settings > under personal..Security > Device Administration > then unchecked Hola Lock… then go to applications in setting find hola, now you will be able to unistall this.... Thanks

It froze the screen and at times just blank. Had to restart the phone at least once before it works till the next startup. Back 5 stars after fix.

More often than not, the lock screen vanishes, also I do not see an option to buy this and get rid of the ads... Ll do that provided this works, in addition to tht, no music widget on the lock screen

But the lock screen is kinda boring and has no security, also it looks like a couple others I have seen. With all due respect, Sorry Dev, Hola is awesome but you guys missed on this one.

Will not work on my Galaxy S6. To make things worse it will not let you uninstall. I guess I will have to do a factory reset to get rid of it.

Once you install it, you cannot get rid of it. I warn you YOU CANNOT GET RID OF THIS APP! I have tried restarting and factory resetting my phone and it still won't go away! It says that you have to deactivate it before uninstalling, but it won't let me!!! DO NOT INSTALL!!!!!!!!!

It's taking up too much room on my tablet so I'm trying to uninstall it. To uninstall it says that I have to deactivate it... I'm trying to do exactly that but it just keeps say that I have to deactivate before uninstalling... I don't know what to do now.. its making me mad

An option to make the screen turned back off right away while on lockscreen after an unaccepted phone call is needed on android device. Usually on android i noticed when you don't accept a call, while the screen lock and the device is in pocket, and let the call hang up by itself the screen take too long to turn back off, it will give enough time for pocket dial to happen. So if you give an option to make screen to turn back off right away, it could prevent pocketdial without the need of sensor.

Asks to install something else to work. Like others have mentioned, no method to uninstall it let's me get rid of it. Very annoyed.

Will not let me uninstall keeps on saying "can't uninstall because this is an active administrator", & its not even listed on the device administrator, everything is greyed out! What is your work around for this???

So far so good. I'll see if like it over others, then may go up.

To all of you lot who are complaining about how you can't get rid of it, it is simple! Go to settings, security (normally under 'More') then find 'Device Administrators'. Here you should see the name of this app. Simply click on it and deactivate! Problem solved!

Waste all of my storage space. I can't even uninstall the app, it says deactivate the app before uninstalling, so i tap the deactiveate button but it says: "cannot uninstall before deactivating." I.tap the Deactivate button for how many times. So this app stays in my phone for years?! Please Fix it.

Omg! I tried to deactivate it but it won't let me and it's using up my storage!!!! I need help! I'm mad as hell right now man!

I am so mad with this, installed it cause it looked cool, it was but now I can't get that stupid lock icon off my lock screen, I even did a factory reset of my device and it is still there, absolute BS, I do not want this on on my phone anymore

the app is a hoax.....once you install it you have to do a factory reset in order to wipe it off....if i could give it a lower score than 1 star i would....DO NOT USE THIS APP!!!!. The way to uninstall is go to security and device admin and deactivate then uninstall.....hope it helps

Hangs alot. Even though u turn all apps behind and try to use this app still it stucks at some points.. if you tried to uninstall it won't allow you to uninstall and you will have to lose memory of your mobile due this app..

My fault for not reading the comments before installing this but now it's draining my battery/storage and refuses to be removed. I've been trying multiple ways of ridding myself of this useless app but nothing has worked. I enjoyed the Hola Launcher App and am highly disappointed in the outcome the Hola Lock. Please fix, I'm reaching the end of my rope with this.

You need to follow these steps: Go to Settings>> Securities>> Device Administrator>> Deactivate. Now you can disable or uninstall this app. However, this is a very good app by a very very passionate folks from hola launcher team..

Nice hola app to lock apps...... But it some-times stops working properly. Such as, if you open an app once then it will not say for password .....

I thought I would share how to deactivate this app. I was playing around in my settings. Go to settings then security. Not the one with the siren. It just says security, then go to device administrator look down at the bottom of screen hit the deactivate button. Now go back to play store and uninstall. Hope this helps.

I can't deactivate this app! No matter what I do. It says it administrative, well does that mean someone else can access it on MY device? Wtf! So I have to watch this darn app use data and update all this junk that takes up storage.... And can't do anything about it. What a scam!

This app wouldn't deactivate for nothing. Well I finally fixed that problem. Go to settings and click on security, where you go to put passwords on (under personal). Once you go there click Device administrators. Then click screen lock and deactivate. Once you deactivate it go apps and click screen lock and uninstall.
