Loved the long password option instead of just pin and pattern. This app got a bug that seen today. Earlier I use to lock the Google play store and now even though I added play store to finger security list to protect from unauthorized access, I can open play store without a password. Please fix it.

Awesome finger print secure app. As of now, it was fine. I have paid for customised background. Pls wait to get 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ as I have just now downloaded this app. Highly recommendable app. I have tried many other apps this one seems gorgeous with intuitive and stellar features. Hope for timely updates.....

Good app to use when you dont want anyone else to look at your phone when you are not using it or when your are asleep. It keeps your apps private.

Works great! This app has the ability to lock any app I choose to lock. This is the only app either free or purchsed , that has this capability.

I really wanted to like this app as it was simple and easy-to-use, and was not loaded with ads and bloatware like so many of the other non-premium apps are. This app didn't have phone booster and battery optimizer and absolutely useless junk like that mixed in with it. The app is supposed to do fingerprint security for individual apps and that's all. Unfortunately, the app doesn't work. I'm using this on a Pixel 3, so I suppose it's possible that the Pixel 3 is such a new device that this app needs to be optimized for that device. Regardless, the fingerprint sensing is barely adequate at best, you have to keep reapplying your finger to get it to work. And it's not like that way with the phone itself. With the phone itself the fingerprint sensor is immediate and accurate. But with this app I have to place my finger 2 or 3 times to get an app to open. The app is also sluggish when it works, it sometimes takes three seconds or so for the interface to open up after you've opened up one of your critical apps that you need fingerprint security for. This app also is prone to kill the soft navigation keys at the bottom of your phone. I've seen that reported for other apps also. So obviously it's a system-wide problem. It's not a deal breaker, but it is aggravating. The real problem however, is that the app quits running at random and won't provide protection for an app that you've got marked for it to provide security for. Thus, you pick up the phone, open an app that you've got marked to provide fingerprint security for, and the app opens right up with no fingerprint security provided. This is a fatal inability of the app. I mean, to put it in simple terms this app has one job, to provide fingerprint security for other apps. And if it can't do that it is useless to me.

great app, so many usefull settings. my only problem at this time is the amount of time it takes to open an app. i used eset app lock and it was much faster but doesn't have 90% of the features on this app so i had to go back to finger security. i hope you can do something about the scan speed

About this app

With it's first release on July 16, 2014 FingerSecurity is the first app that allows owners of an Android device with a fingerprint sensor to protect their apps with their fingerprints.
FingerSecurity allows you to protect any app with your fingerprint. FingerSecurity has many options to make your life easier and more secure.

- Protect any app with your fingerprint
- Widget for fast enabling/disabling
- Set timeouts to allow a short switch between apps
- Unlock multiple apps at ones
- Use your alternative password or pin code to unlock apps when your fingerprint is not recognized
- FingerSecurity can’t be uninstalled or killed
- Automatically protect new apps
- Use your favorite image as background
- Use fake crash dialog
- Automatically unlock your apps at specific locations
- Only allow specific people(fingerprints) to unlock an app
- Protect notifications of protected apps
- Detect intruders by taking a picture of them

This app uses the Device Administrator permission, as an opt-in option, to prevent the app from being uninstalled.

***FAQ***
- Why is my device not supported?
FingerSecurity will only work on Android devices with a fingerprint sensor. Even when your device has a fingerprint sensor it is still possible that your device is not supported due to limitations of the device.

- A notification is asking for a backup password. What should I do?
This is a security feature from the system(it is not a part of FingerSecurity but from Samsung’s firmware). When you scan your fingerprint too many times without identification then the system will block the sensor and ask for your backup password. The backup password was specified during the registration of your fingerprints(this might not be the same as your alternative password for FingerSecurity). You have to enter your backup password else you can’t use the fingerprint sensor.

- I can’t remember my backup password.
Unfortunately there is no way to reset the backup password when the sensor is blocked by the system. The only solution is performing a hard reset.

- FingerSecurity uses a lot of battery after updating.
Please restart your device. Then FingerSecurity will work normal again and the battery usage will drop.
