Using in Marshmallow. Some of the apps are not launching after locking with PIN. Instead of launching the app, after PIN entry it opens last launched app. Very much annoying. Otherwise, the idea of this apps is very good. Wrote to developer still waiting to reply.

if there was option to automatically re-lock back the unlocked apps just after quitting them by either "Back" key and/or "Home" key,instead of timed re-locking back system.force close while touching "Speak" button and no reading.

uses very little system resources. Doesnt run in the background continously unlike other locking apps. Cannot be bypassed. The UI could be a little better. . And also Tasker capabilities.

Keep your faces shut. If you don't like how much it costs. Don't buy it. Found something better? Doubt it. Doesn't work? Read what Xposed is. Worth every penny.

I'm not paying that much for a single purpose app when other apps do more for free. I'd consider maybe half that price.

There is a major bug (for me at least). Whenever I change something in setting, the protection become zero. Apps can be unlocked with any password. Like I have a 5 digits pin code, protected apps unlocked with any pin code I enter. So that a big risk to security and now I can't trust on it for my security..

Idea of this app is very good as we don't want app lock to run behind the scene all the time. Hope this app is easy to use with xposed. Minor tweaks required still serves the very purpose.

This is my preferred app locker because it's resource-friendly. It can be slow/laggy sometimes, but that might just be my old phone to blame. Thank you for adding tasker support!

This app soft bricked GALAXY Note 3. After installing, it started giving me alerts I needed to restart my phone. After enabling in Xposed, I rebooted, and at the carrier screen I got stuck. I tried rebooting several times, and even wiped the cache from recovery and let it sit for 20 minutes, it never got by the carrier screen. Eventually I gave up and did a full wipe and reset. Now I get to reinstall all my apps again... Minus this one. What a shame.
