Question Any good apps for loking you phone down from kids???

Any good apps for locking you phone down from kids???

Sometimes I forget to screen lock my phone.

On the weekends my kids take my phone when I am sleeping to play games and they sneak it back on the charger before i wake up, then when we go out my phone dies and I am like @#$% it was charging I look at battery meter and they had it for 3 hours playing games.

Also anything for locking down folders and files.

Maby some kind of parental controls. LOL

Under "Settings->Location & Security->Set up screen lock" you can turn on a pattern, PIN, or password lock for your phone. You can also turn it off easily if you want.

This looks like exactly what you're looking for. I installed it on my phone and it appears to work just fine.

YES, That is it. thanks you!!!!

A handy app that you would love to use before handing your phone to the kids.
Android Parental Control app is designed to restrict access to selected Apps:
1- Select and filter installed apps
2- Overall and individual app restriction
3- Automatic restart of the app when phone is rebooted
4- Safe Sandbox-only show allowed apps

The best app on the market is application protection. You can choose the app you want to lock from your kids. It's the best app and free. Try it out.
