NOTES:
About permissions:
Please notice that Magic Locker requires a number of permissions, the purpose is to launch other Apps from the lockscreen, while we definitely won't read the contents in users' phone. For example, we declared SMS read permission in order to launch the SMS App, while we will not read any content of the SMS.
Always dialed numbers in pocket or turned camera on. Not any more. Works. Gotta mess with settings. Dont use music one. Like the puzzle one like samsung galaxy. I added the swipe a pattern to open it also. It comes on right after i pull puzzle piece to open lock screen.
When I get to the lock screen, instead of actually using the password that I set, I can just hit the home button and viola, there's my home screen...seriously? Thought this was supposed to be a "lock". Only thing magical about it is how it has over 5 million downloads and a high rating. Wtf?
I already used this locker for a long time, usually I use pin/psmassword for lock security... n I just tried to change my pin with patern, but I forgot how I drawn the patern :( so I can't use the lockscreen... pls help, I want my magiclocker back (╥﹏╥)
All I have to do is hit the homescreen button and I can simply bypass the lock screen and get into my phone. This occurs even when I have the stock security screen enabled with this app. THAT is a major flaw. Plus it doesn't appear to be compatible with phones that require 1080x1920 pixel sizes. Occasionally the bottom portion gets cut out. - HTC One
Installed on Galaxy s5 Mini for less than a week. Found phone turned on too many times in pocket. Found out all you have to do is tap on left lower side of screen a couple of times and it bypassed the lock and home screen and is ready for usage. Tried all possible settings. I wanted something that would stop the well known faulty home screen turning on while in your pocket. Other than useless it has little purpose.
Love the app but for some reason now it won't stay set as the default home, so when I hit the home button, I have to select Magic Locker every time. Other launchers don't do this... Fix and will give 5 stars
Can you please fix it because it keep disabling itself from my phone I cannot used it whenever I want specially using live wallpaper as my wallpaper. I'll give it 5 stars if you did.
I have an AT&T S5 that I cannot disable the f!/×÷ing ICE contact or take it off my home screen. I tried another cover ap, but it did not disable the home button, so still had same issue. This ap only allows access to the home screen with a swipe -- disables home button.
Okay this was working good when I downloaded it now it won't let me go in the settings At all keeps going back to my main screen! Please fix really do like this application when it works.
Love this app. Provides the best lockscreens available. My only complaint is that even when I disable the home button it will still take me to the home screen. No very secure
not exactly doing the job, doesn't lock the tasks buttons. so simply hit power button to wake up and select the recent/open tasks button and select a task and your in the phone without password or anything
Finally, a lock screen app that allows use of the home screen button but still locks it while the phone is locked!!! Amazing. And no speed dial to 911! Wow. Shows how pathetic Android is.
The themes look great. The only problem I have with it is the fact that the security system it uses so you can lock you phone is not useful. You don't have to put any pin or pattern to get in, just press the home button. If there was a solution for that one problem, then it would be 5 stars completely!
It actually works well. I just hate the screen about something that comes up after I unlock it. But other than that it's great!!
Allright, but the settings for a secure lockscreen can be overridden by the navbar keys. Ahem... don't know - worked perfectly except for allowing power off app in assistant menu touchpad. Rereading and additional tapping... Looks very good, please excuse me… Very good, but it's as I said, when the "back button" app is used, you can pull down the Notif'ns and start to meddle with the owner's material. Thank you.
I loved this app for the longest time but recently it is no longer supported by my galaxy s6. Would love this to work again but.... Until then 2 stars
This is one of the few lock screen applications that offer a standalone security feature with lots of themes to choose from. Overall the app is average only because the security can be bypassed if you have some sort of notications in your status bar. Like if I had a text message, all I would have to do is slide down and access the messenger app. I won't have to enter my security at all. If this feature can be fixed, I'd give it 5 stars!
I downloaded it this morning because I dial the police quite often from my back pocket. So far no problems. It's the 3rd app I have tried and seems to be the one. Update. So i have had the same problem as many others. I Can easily bypass the lock by simply closing it from the running app screen. I have solved the problem by using both this lock and the one that came on the phone. But now have to unlock both. Still better than calling the cops I guess.
But when I tried unlocking using this, it showed my homescreen for about 2 seconds before going to the lock screen, then when I unlocked, it freaked out and tried to start up a whole bunch of apps. I have a Samsung Galaxy proclaim 2.3.6.
I've called 911 four or five times since June. Thank God I found this app, now it won't happen anymore.
Used and loved this app on my Bionic for a year, and my GS4 for two. Upgraded to HTC One M9 today and it just won't work. App hangs and crashes every time I try to unlock my phone, meaning I have to wait a full minute for my phone to prompt me with the option to close the app so I can get to .y homescreen. I really love this app but jt just won't work on this phone.
Premium lock screens as i cant get onto getjar. Is there any other way
The app is good, allows us to have a lock screen pleasant to look at. But it is annoying how slow it made my phone become... needs improvement... Sometimes the screen doesn't lock. I have to press the lock (power) button several times to make sure it worked. I don't feel safe to use this app the way it is now. It should have a "preview" option, so we could see how the lock screen will look like without having to lock/unlock the phone several times to choose the customization. Waiting for an update.
TrustGo said it's connected to an ad network that will download unwanted asps to my phone, however i haven't had that problem yet as i haven't clicked on the ads. So, other than that i find it to be a great asp even if it can be a bit on the slow side. I really love it :)
Still have to physically secure the phone to prevent pocket dial. My question (not related to this app) is why can't phones have a hardware lock like old portable cd player's and mp3 devices. Having an emergency button on the lock screen is a great way to dial 911 by accident.
I wanted the puzzle piece back that I had on my old samsung captivate phone. This samsung galaxy s5 doesn't have it. Found this on a forum online someone recommend it. It is what I wanted. I never had a problem calling 911 so that's not an issue with me. I have a case for it as well as I don't let my kids play with the phone.
Screen black out. Home button doing strange things
I have a lg3 best phone ever. Better then Samsung S4 Faster, will not freeze up and shut off like the Samsung. I can watch youtube and surf the net at the same time. One problem, 911 was being called when I put my phone in my pocket. This magic lock fixed that problem. Sweet 5 stars
Endless demands to rate and buy themes. Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap Crap Crap crap
Around seven eighths of the themes are 1 dollar but I like the screens. Some of them are really creative. Then others, not as much
It said that you would give me more wallpapers if I gave u fave stars and it didn't no it sucked
....but now it won't let me customize my themes so I'm uninstalling
I have to buy everything if I ever want to use it instead of the tarable one so ya it kinda sorta really sucks a lot and I'm not joking. I regret instoling this app. I'm going to uninstal it right now as a matter of fact.
Okay this was working good when I downloaded it now it won't let me go in the settings At all keeps going back to my main screen! Please fix really do like this application when it works.
I have come to the decision to uninstall the app, but I (on a kindle btw) try to uninstall it, and I find that it has LATCHED onto my kindle and now there is NO way to uninstall it, I would rate 0 stars if I could. Give me a way to uninstall and I will revoke this comment

The app is slow and unresponsive. Takes me quite a few seconds (ca 10) just to get it to follow the touch and unlock the phone. Tried wiping cache, rebooting the phone, nothing helps
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
If anything turns the screen on, MagicLocker does not let the screen time out and turn off. It just sits there on and drains the battery. Please add the ability to set a screen timeout.

Why does it need to read my messages and record audio? Deleting as ads popping up on my home screen. Edit. Just saw your sms explication so fair enough. I however confirmed the add spam is from this app. I'd prefer pay a few quid not to have adds. So not reinstalling.
