About this app

Boost game battery performance - turn Screen Off while game is auto playing and save battery life from screen usage, while keeping the phone safely locked in pocket.

🔋 Save battery life with games running in the background - while walking around in AR games trying to "catch them all" in Pokemon GO or looking for foundables in Wizards Unite, or as a Pocket Lock for Ragnarok while farming.

👍 Using game automation tools or auto clickers - play them with screen off and extend battery life, as your screen is not needed while playing games with automation tools.

🏆 Boost game battery performance for all kinds of games like Augmented Reality, Simulations, MMORPG, RPG, MMO games, Adventure. Save battery from screen time when you do not need to look at the game, like when you are auto farming in Ragnarok M Eternal Love or hatching eggs in Pokemon GO.

❤ Loved by the gaming community of Ragnarok M and Pokemon GO, based on our very successful app PocketLock Battery Saver : Read more here https://bit.ly/2JkuFpJ

😱 Turning Screen Off works only when you cover the screen, so when you lock you will first see a black screen, and when you cover top of your phone (proximity sensor), screen will really turn off.

🔒 HOW IT WORKS

1. While game is running, expand Android notification area and tap on Play Lock notification - this will put Play Lock on front of the screen, but the game will continue to run in the background.
2. Cover the top of phone screen with hand or by putting it in your pocket and the screen will actually turn off , which will save battery life.
3. Uncover screen and double-tap on the unlock button, which is visible in the top-right corner. Enter the unlock pattern if you have set one and Play Lock is dismissed.
4. You can also unlock with fingerprint on supported devices*
