Norton App Lock

If you don't trust your Android security system that much or would like to protect it a little more, Norton App Lock lets you block your applications.

Add extra security to your Android device

We often store sensitive information on our smartphone or tablet that we do not want to share with anyone. Sometimes we just want to keep our privacy even more private. For those Android users who want to protect their apps and content more securely, Norton App Lock offers advanced security with a numeric password or pattern lock.

Block access to your apps

Does your cell phone often fall into the wrong hands? Want to protect your tablet from your kids? Do you sometimes make accidental calls when you put your phone in your pocket? Want to prevent someone else from updating your social networks without your permission? If you want to keep spies at bay, this tool offers a simple feature that lets you choose which apps to block.

Simply choose between a four-digit number code or a blocking pattern and mark the particularly sensitive applications from the list. You can block them all, some or those suggested by the app.

This app is free and can be very useful for those who want to protect their information and private photos from intruders. Just make sure you set up a secure method for recovering your password or you might be in for a nasty surprise.
