Default Screen Off And Lock App

Just installed the free version on my Sony ICS Tablet S but there is no setting as described in Play Store so I tried to uninstall and re-install it but I cannot uninstall it whether with the Tablet own Settings or in Play Store (I pressed the Uninstalled button but it didn't work).

Can someone please tell me how to uninstall this app?

Thank you in advance.

One of the reviewers said go into the application and there is an option near the bottom to uninstall.

But once I touch the icon, my device is "screen off and locked"

The one I installed is by Katecca!

Yes, that is the one I was referring to.

Curious, did you try first going into the tablet's Settings > Security > Device Administrators to see if the app is listed and can be deactivated there? That is what I understood the notes on the app's web page said you had to do before the app could be uninstalled.

Got it! Thanks for pointing me to the right direction, I always think its the app's Setting (so did other reviewers - look at the numbers of the complaints in the reviews of their Chinese web page!).

Btw, I only see this app listed in the device administrators under security setting, just wonder why an app has to be deleted in this way, very inconvenient to new and inexperienced users I've been using iPhone for 3 years and started using android couple of months ago with this Sony tablet.
