By BlokeTech, from Google Play“Catch phone intruders with photos, video and GPS location alerts”
Description by BlokeTech Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
When someone enters the wrong PIN, password or pattern, Lockwatch silently emails you a front-camera photo and your phone's GPS location.
For a more complete picture, Premium is an optional upgrade that adds 20-second video with sound, a back-camera photo of the surroundings, SIM change and power-on location alerts, and more alert history.
There are no ads in Lockwatch.
🚨 FREE PROTECTION
• Detects incorrect PIN, password and pattern unlock attempts
• Captures a front-camera photo
• Emails the photo with your phone's GPS location
• Works with your existing Android lock screen
• Cancels the alert if the correct code is entered within 10 seconds, so a simple mistype will not send an email
✨ MORE EVIDENCE WITH PREMIUM
• Record a 20-second front-camera video with sound
• Add a back-camera photo to show the surroundings
• Get location alerts with new SIM details when the SIM card changes
• Get a location alert after your phone powers on or restarts, before it is unlocked
• Keep up to 50 alerts in History instead of 5
🕘 BUILT FOR RELIABLE ALERTS
• Automatically retries sending alerts when mobile data or Wi-Fi becomes available
• Designed to run only when needed, minimizing battery use
ℹ️ NOTES
• Lockwatch only triggers when an unlock attempt contains at least four digits, password characters or pattern dots.
• This app uses the Device Administrator permission to monitor screen unlock attempts. Lockwatch will never use this permission to wipe your phone.
