More than hundreds of apps are available on PlayStore on App locking. However, the majority of them are not good as they say because they all have few essential features along with other additional functions, which are not relevant to the Screen lock or App Lock system.

But this time, I have tested an app for several hours, and it has replaced my old stock ROM screen lock. The functions are unique, and I can assure that you have never seen such features on any other Android smartphone.

#7 – Test & Performance

To test the app, I have my friend to bypass the passcode, and the results were as expected.

Lock Screen: The Lock screen disabled for few seconds as you can see in the below snapshot.

Intruder Photo: After so many failed test, he wasn’t able to bypass the security pin. If you are wondering about the image quality, then It depends on your front camera.

PIN Pad : To access this feature just swipe from left to right of the app and hit “Magic” and from there you can set a number or PIN from the Pad, do note these numbers will be shown in a dynamic pattern when the screen is locked (which means the number position always changes when compared to the stock locks). Additionally you can set a custom app on the screen as shown in the screen below.

Alternatively you can also add old screen from the apps “Magic” option , just swipe to see the old one, as shown below.

Wallpapers : With this option you can set different pics for the lock or home screens from a huge collection of gallery of pics like shown below.

Themes : This is something that android phone manufactured stopped a long ago, but from the themes option you can customize the look of your screen

#9 – iOS App

iPhone’s are extremely popular, and the developers know that the Apple Store is all about quality. Apple Store team has inspected the app, and they have approved it, which is a big deal. The PIN Genie Locker works smoothly on the iPhone smartphone, and iPad. Since the file size is small, you will never feel like the app is consuming space on your iPhone.

For iOS devices you can get end to end encryption, that is all the files are encrypted within the users device and the receiver of the file need to enter a key to unlock the files.

Conclusion

The best thing about the app is that no peeping Tom will be able to figure out the four-digit passcode unless he has sharp observation skills. There is no doubt that the screen lock is unique and it does keep the peeping tom away. Shoot your Opinions and Experience in the comment section below.

The Google has allowed the developers to use Android Codes to customize and build something awesome to the users. Where many Developers have launched their innovative apps, which changed the whole world such as “Whatsapp“.
