Description
Lockwatch is a clever little app that secretly takes a photo using the front camera when someone enters an incorrect unlock code on your phone. It then emails you a picture of the intruder along with their GPS location, without them knowing.

The app has helped recover many lost and stolen phones, and has been featured in several TV and online news stories.

Lockwatch uses Android's built-in lock screen and has a small app size, running only when an incorrect unlock code is entered.

Note: You must enter at least four digits or dots for each unlock attempt to be counted. If the correct code is entered within 10 seconds, Lockwatch will not send the email to avoid false alarms.

Lockwatch Premium offers additional features, such as the ability to attach multiple photos and audio clips to the email, email notifications when a new SIM card is inserted or the phone is turned on, and removal of all advertisements from the app.

This app uses the Device Administrator permission to monitor screen unlock attempts.

Comments on Lockwatch - Thief Catcher for Android

★★★★★ I just tested it and it works! It said you have to wait 10 seconds after entering the wrong password the set number of times, or it won't send the email. I think that may have been the problem with some reviewers. I got an email with a picture and GPS location with in 2 meters of accuracy. I got an Email in different days which is someone tried to unlock my phone. This is all with the free version. I highly recommend this app.to have everyone's phone. My challenge is I can't upgrade to premium.
★★★★★ E-mail Notification received for wrong password with photo & location, works on Android 12, but it isn't working on Android 13
★★★★★ It is exactly good app for security reasons, me have tested the goodness of this app. The only this that I am worried is about updates. Thank you
★★☆☆☆ I am downgrading my rating as I no longer get a photo or location, and I'm on premium
★★☆☆☆ Decided to get the premium, but the app fails every time I have tested it to actually take a photo. What's the point in the app if it doesn't function correctly?
★★☆☆☆ I paid for this in case I ever lost my phone. It was stolen, and this app wouldn't work to help me find it. It also stopped notifying me of unlock attempts within months after paying for the service.
