Accessibility Service disclosure

AppLock's Website Blocker feature uses Android's Accessibility Service to block the websites you choose. When you turn on Website Blocker and grant the permission, the service reads only the web address (URL) shown in your browser's address bar in supported browsers (Google Chrome and Samsung Internet) to detect when you open a site or category you've chosen to block, and then shows a block screen instead of the page.

• It is used only for the Website Blocker feature, and only after you enable it and grant the permission.
• It reads only the address bar (the site's web address). It does not read page content, capture what you type, read your passwords, or record your screen.
• Android does not offer another way for an app to detect the page a browser is showing, so this permission is required for the feature to work.
• You can turn Website Blocker off at any time in the app, or revoke the permission at any time in Android Settings > Accessibility, which stops the service completely.
Secure your apps with lock screens, use custom themes and different features.

so far so good! Considering it's free the app works well and provides a lot of customisation. One thing I've found that doesn't work at all is the fake crash message you can use on certain apps, it displays the message but it doesn't clear, so I've turned that function off now. But overall happy with it. I wish there was a free trial of the premium so I could try before I buy though!

Thank you for the 4-star review — we really appreciate it! We're always working to improve, and if there's anything specific we could do better to earn that fifth star, we'd love to hear it at https://applock.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Thanks again for your support!

More trouble than it's worth. Hit and miss whether or not it bothers to protect your apps and every other action triggers an ad (and in order to remove this, it's an absolute rip off of £5.99 per month!). Only reason it got 2 stars is because it makes your phone so difficult and stressful to navigate, that even the most determined thief would give up.

Awesome app! It's definitely free and easy to use (despite the premium version)! Definitely recommend it. Though, I only wish to have more fake app icons OR be able to upload one and change the name, as well as more natural fake error messages (an error message that looks like a standard error message depending on phone model)
