It does not work as it claims to be! My phone stills dials & redials numbers in my calling record. In addition, this app has not been updated since April 2018. And now, when I reinstalled this app, there is a notification message that said "it will not work with newer Android systems."

The app works great overall, but the Alternate Lock Method function doesn't seem to work. It never locks the phone. Data it will take a few seconds to lock, but after several minutes nothing happens. I don't want to lose my finger print and iris unlocking. I don't like typing in my password in public, I just want my phone to stop pocket dialing and sending texts after I receive a phone call in my pocket.

Great app! Almost perfect. It's a disappointment that I can't unlock the phone via fingerprint afterwards, but I can live with that seeing as it reminds me to build a better habit of locking my phone manually. Not to mention, there's no other app on the market which works as well as this one! Add a fingerprint unlock option and you'll get 5 stars from me.

This app has made pocket dialing and texting the slightest bit better, but I'm still having to use a lot of work arounds. I simply cannot eliminate pocket dialing on my Android. iPhone was never a problem. I'm still very often pulling the phone out of my pocket and it's either on the emergency dial screen or replied to the text message notification that came up on the lock screen.

This app seriously messed up security and screen settings, would not unlock with fingerprint, would lock phone randomly during voip calls, would lock while reading books, playing games. This would occur even when app was in standby mode. The app would not uninstall from home screen, I had to go to settings to get rid of it, and then had to reset device security settings and screen settings. A week of hell until I figured out the app was the root of it.

Pocket Lock intelligently locks and unlocks your phone for you. Just drop your phone in your pocket and it locks. Pocket Lock keeps your phone locked until you take it out, then it unlocks, allowing for easy use and preventing accidental activity in your pocket. Pocket Lock is great for phones with broken power buttons or flip cases.

Pocket Lock is easy to set-up and forget, since it starts automatically on boot, but it also offers advanced customization options. The app is completely free and has no ads. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, use the Send feedback option in the app to email me directly.

Features:
* Intelligently locks your phone using the proximity and gravity sensor or (accelerometer)
* Works out of the box

Notes:
This app uses the Device Administrator permission. This is necessary in order to lock your phone screen.
Put your phone in your pocket upside down and with screen facing you for best results.
