(1) App Locking
Hexlock is a customizable and smart lock application that can lock using a certain profile with PIN or pattern protection. You can lock apps using a particular profile that includes, Work and Home, and set additional profiles like party, parental, school or café. With Hexlock, you can lock the selected apps that may include, Facebook, Whatsapp, Email, SMS, Gallery, Videos, Documents, Games, Settings, Pictures, Social Network, Settings, Games etc. or lock all apps at once. You can also auto-activate profiles to keep your apps secured without locking them every time manually. So while you try to access that particular app, it will prompt for the pattern/PIN which you’d need to enter.

(2) Security and Privacy Protection
Hexlock provides full security to your apps and prevents them from getting access by anyone. It protects your personal files and data with its Media Vault and prevents unauthorized access to them. You can easily import your files to Media Vault and keep them safely there and no one can access them without using the password. So you can peacefully hand over your device to your friend or family member because no one would be able to open the apps with using the passcode. So Hexlock is an app to lock apps other apps and screen.

(3) Parental Controls
With Hexlock’s Parental Control feature, you can secure your device from your kids’ hands and prevent them from accessing your apps, folders or making in-app purchases. You can also prevent them from playing games or watching YouTube videos. Parental Control keeps your data confidential, especially for the work apps those are of higher significance and always need to be protected.
(4) Other functionalities
One of the best features of Hexlock is that no one can uninstall the app in a normal way. Hexlock prevents itself from getting deleted and if anyone tries to remove the app, they can’t do it.
Secondly, if you got multiple Android devices and wants to protect the apps with them with Hexlock, then you can create separate profiles for all the devices and lock specific apps. Remember, Hexlock can lock only the phone apps, but not the phone.
You can automatically activate your Hexlock profile while connecting to a WiFi network. This applies the lock feature to all apps automatically and prevents anyone from accessing them even with a 3G or WiFi connection.
Hexlock can also be unlocked by using Fingerprint unlocking which is compatible only with selected Samsung devices.

How to lock apps with Hexlock?
To use Hexlock, you need to download and install the app from the Google Play Store and launch it. On launching, you’ll be asked to set a PIN or a pattern which would be the same to unlock the other apps. Set the PIN/pattern and then add your gallery images to Media Vault. You can also skip this step and proceed to choose and activate your profile (Work/Home). Tap on the apps which are required to be locked, or you can lock apps by tapping the ‘Lock all’ button. Now try accessing that particular locked app and you won’t be able to access it without using the same PIN/pattern.
Our experience with Hexlock
As per my experience, I have found Hexlock a fully functional lock app that instantly locks in any app. The app got a simple and easy navigation and all apps can be locked with a single tap. Using different profiles is perhaps one of the best options because you can protect multiple device apps with each profile which are set with their own preferences and app locks.
