Toddler Lock for Android
My 2 yr old niece and 3 yr old nephew love playing with my phone and this is such a great way to let them have fun but also to make sure my phone is protected for their rapid random button pressing lol i love it! Only had one problem previously, it did freeze once but that was it. Highly recommend for your toddler!
My two year old has been playing with this app for a while and it keeps her entertained in a jam. Sometimes my 5yr old even plays with it if she's bored because you can draw. It's good for colors and shapes learning too. Great app. Thank you developer!
Was perfect, and within the past year something is wrong...it automatically throws my phone into airplane mode. That blocks phone calls. Also, its takes forever to exit...it doesn't allow you to quit it when you need to. Please fix. It use to be my life savor!! ZTE LEVER
It wouldn't stay in the correct launcher and made me choose another launcher when i exit the game that completely changed my phone. It didn't give me an option to change it back or use my phone at all unless i chose it unless I uninstalled the app. So as much as my son enjoyed the app, I can't stand it to change my phone like that. There are plenty of other fun apps.
Would not let me unlock the app at first. Restarted my phone but glitchy reboot. Home screen still was on toddler lock after restart and app would repeatedly restart itself after continuously closing it. Took many times before app actually closed.
it locked just like it said it would...locked me out of my phone! !!!! Would not unlock no matter how many times I hit each corner clockwise! Stupid app terrible DON'T DO IT! Lost all my pictures of my daughter!
Best toddler ane baby app that actually locks and does not let my boy exit it. Only wish is for this app to quit when restarting the phone. I read the negative reviews by other people where they were unable to exit this app even when restarting the phone. I am scared of that happening to me.
This had always worked great for me until I installed it on my G6. It has messed up the whole phone. Rebooted, called it, tapped, removed battery, and everything else i could think of. Trying to get it fixed but definitely will never use it again... It USED to be good. Edit had to boot to safe mode and remove.
Spent an hour messing with it because it had some kind of glitch and my phone was freaking out. I couldn't close the app, it was just stuck on a black screen with some flashes of the app. Finally had to figure out how to put my phone into safe mode after 8 times of restarting it so I could uninstall the app.
This app is the only one I found that can lock all exits for my toddler when he's playing on my phone. No matter what he can't turn it off or exit the app. It keeps his attention and allows me to know he won't be able to call anyone. Also there are no adds that pop up!
When you launch the app, it will ask you to set it as the default home launcher. This allows it to stop your child from exiting it. But it does not reset the home launcher to the original setting. So you have to close the app, bring up settings, change your default home all to be the launcher you want, then you can continue with your life. Could be resolved by having toddler lock ask the user what launcher they want to use on exit. Good idea. Not so good implementation.
I used this app heavily back in 2009/2010 with my first daughter. She loved it and it kept her entertained whenever we were out and about. It definitely isn't like it used to be. Even the sound is different. Like other users mentioned it is hard to leave the app. I think this has more to do with how newer Android phones are designed though. Perhaps they can come up with a work around? It kinda looks like the developers forgot about the app. A shame, It used to be the only good toddler app out there.
My daughter downloaded this app onto my phone when her son was small , and we've used it through four grandchildren and countless numbers of small children at church to keep them quiet and content during the sermon, even with the volume down! Even now, the older kids will help the younger ones make a picture or Draw Something with their finger to entertain them. I can't believe this is a free app. A $2 donation certainly is Small Change for the amount of enjoyment my grandchildren have received.
My kids both love this app and it was great and amazing. Now I have to work magic just to be able to use my phone after I have started up the app. Even after restarting my phone, the toddler lock app is still active and I can't use my phone. If this gets fixed, I would happily download again. I wouldn't even mind paying a bit for it...
Ads are not on screen while app is active, only on the menu screen where you adjust volume or exit the app. My 1 year-old loves this. Sometimes he's fussy or needs a distraction, and when he's playing with this app he can't leave the screen or mess up my phone. Great job!
I first started using this back in 2009 with my first daughter. It occupied a lot of time when stuck in traffic. Now I have another daughter and it seems like I will be getting an equal amount of use. Thank you for an awesome app.

My boy really enjoys this one. Buying the upgraded version ($1?) will eliminate the ad that comes up upon closing the app. MUCH better than other developer's apps that are set up to make your child open their ad!
As many have said, it used to be great. But now on my note 4 I have the same issues as many others where it does not close properly. I think it has to do with the touch wiz on the device, but I would really like to be able to use this. I am forced to switch to Samsung's kids mode.
This was a great app on my galaxy s3, but when I upgraded to the s5 the app seemed incompatible with the phone. It was extremely hard to get out of the program, meaning that exiting the normal way did not work and I could not access anything as the only thing that would come up was this app, even restarting the phone would not help. I uninstalled it, my s5 has a built in toddler lock program anyway that seems better.
This is the most entertaining app I have ever used. I can give it to my kid brother and he LOVES it. I can also put it on for my friend tripping in the corner, so she can be entertained AND not be able to send gibberish texts to her boyfriend!! When does it come out for the Apple store?
it locked just like it said it would...locked me out of my phone! !!!! Would not unlock no matter how many times I hit each corner clockwise! Stupid app terrible DON'T DO IT! Lost all my pictures of my daughter!
The tiny genius likes to figure out what every button on the phone does. But he can't read yet, so this app stays fully locked and keeps him from making calls, changing settings, etc.
Like everyone else I used to love this game. It kept my niece and nephews quiet and entertained. Now it's just a pain. Whenever I try to close it a grey screen pops up that will not go away. Even when you try turning your phone off! I found that if I just hit a whole bunch of random buttons it will eventually go away. In my opinion it's not worth it. I'm uninstalling if this does not get fixed soon.
Horrible bugs with this.. it doesn't want to actually shut down when you exit. Randomly get ads pop up long after it's closed. And my final straw was today it locked up my phone for 4 HOURS!!!
My kids grew up with this app, but when i recently got new devices and redownloaded it, it would lock up my device and never exit. I just spent an hour trying to exit and uninstall this app. I don't know what's happened but my god is this thing annoying. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this app,
Within ten minutes, my two year old son had managed to get past it and into my phone. I'll need something stronger.
One of the biggest reasons we downloaded this app was to have something to keep kids busy in places where they need to be quiet. Having a video play with sound if you exit sort of defeats the purpose. I wouldn't mind a quiet ad, but may have to find something else for quiet time if the noisy ads stay.
It used to be a great app my son would sit there and play it for hours. Then adds started showing up and he could get of it and download all these different things. My phone crashed about 3 times from this app. And I am not to happy about it.
Up date* this app is now awful! It locks up my phone and refuses to turn off! I have to restart my phone multiple times to get my phone free of the app. Wish they would fix that but it has been a few months now. love this for my kids! It keeps my 5 yr old, 3yr old and 11 month old busy when i need them to be quiet or when they get bored. We play with it too!
Loved this app before. On Note 4 it took over my phone and nothing worked to fix it. 5 restarts, turning off for 15 mins - the app would still possess my phone and spontaneously turn itself back on. Finally figured out how to delete the program. Dont give yourself the headache.
This app was amazing! It really keeps children i babysit occupied! I highly recommend getting this app! But I'm about to switch to an iPhone from a LG G3 and am wondering if the iPhone app store has this as well! Thank you in advance for helping me!
This app used to be really good. Now when you try to close it, it won't shut off. There's also a stupid pop up that won't go away. The first time I opened it there were instructions that said if I followed them I'd only have to do it
I had this app before and it USE to be fine but now if you set it to always it acts like its your default home screen and you cant get back to your real home screen the way you are SUPPOSE to
this is wonderful my son love it but when exiting its been freezing on the "unlocking" type screen. I'm forced to restart my phone then try it again. if that gets fixed it'll be perfect!!!!
I used to like it but it asks you to choose "Always" for the toddler lock home screen. DONT it will make it very difficult to exit. Here is how I exited the app, 1) exit the app with the four corners and it will go to a black screen that is locked 2) choose the small square at the bottom to choose small apps 3) hopefully you can see a google search bar in the small apps screen, search for google play 4) naviagte to my apps and uninstall toddler lock You can try to choose the toddler lock home screen (just once) but I don't recommend this app anymore. When it works it was great. Recent android upgrades have made it change the home screen option and ruined this app.
The first time I installed this it was great! Perfect for distracting my 1yr old for short periods of time while traveling. I just reinstalled it for my second child and it come tell locked down my phone. Every time I went to exit it would just restart the app. I tried restarting my phone, having people calling me. It was aweful! I finally was able to exit the app after about 20 minutes of actively trying.
This used to be a great app but the latest version crashes on every exit. Usually I can get out by closing all of the windows but even that doesn't work perfectly. Very annoying and best avoided.
Loved it for my two older kids, but now it seems that it doesn't work so well with newer versions of Android. The homescreen override gets stuck in a loop when trying to exit. Almost had to do a factory reset of the phone--luckily was able to use a menu ad to launch a browser and then get to the play store to uninstall. Otherwise phone was completely locked into the app.

As pleasant for grownups as it is for babies and toddlers. A wonderfully amazing app! I used this app with my 2 granddaughters now ages 7 and 9. Had it on a lost phone, I couldn't remember the name, so just spent the last 15 minutes searching and googling to find it again. IT IS THAT GREAT! Now I'm ready to use it again with my sweet almost one year old grandbaby.
