• Why can't I activate App Lock again after force stop? If you can't activate App Lock after already turned on the accessibility service for App Lock, then please try to turn off the accessibility service and turn it on again.

This is the best App locker I've tried by far. Simple and easy to use on Samsung A53 running OS 12 with One UI ⭐ Important to remember that you must turn off in app notifications, so App locker can't be disabled in notification shade ⭐ Will review again and consider donating after I've been using the app for a while.

This is one of only a couple app locks that I know of that closes loopholes (like a lock on phone Settings AND Accessibility). I've tried more than 20 app locks looking for something that works. For me, this is one of the best.
