Lockdown Pro - AppLock Vault is a robust Android application designed to secure your apps through password protection.

Features of Lockdown Pro

Lockdown Pro allows users to secure their apps with a password, pattern, or calculator entry. Users have the option to choose from various themes to personalize the password entry screens. The password protection can be applied to Android system apps such as Google Play, Dialer/Contacts, Incoming calls, Install/Uninstall, Settings, and Messages, as well as third-party applications installed on the device.

Advanced Locking Options

Lockdown Pro is a potent security tool with numerous locking options. You can set the app to lock or unlock based on the device's location or when connected to specific WiFi networks. The app also offers stealthy features like a 'fake cover' that displays an error screen rather than a password prompt for locked apps, the ability to hide the Lockdown Pro icon from the app tray, and the option to activate the device administrator function to prevent uninstallation.

Usability of Lockdown Pro

Setting up Lockdown Pro is straightforward. Upon first launch, users are prompted to enter a passcode or pattern, which will be required each time the app is accessed. Locking apps is as simple as tapping a button next to the desired app from the list in Lockdown Pro's main menu. The total number of locked apps is displayed at the top of the list. However, there is no option to select and lock all apps automatically.

In summary, Lockdown Pro delivers excellent performance, though the inclusion of an option to lock the screen via the app would further enhance its usability.
