LC AppLock - free and Christia

A simple app that lets you pattern lock sensitive apps if the device is for example shared with little ones. We by this do not mean apps that are plain vile in their purpose - such are to be avoided at all costs for holiness' sake. Typical applications are those we may need for productive reasons - which, due to being developed by non-Christians, may contain graphics or illustrations that are vain or somewhat inappropriate in nature. And therefore likely to pose a threat to any godly upbringing efforts we may be making on our little ones. Or somehow torment or vex their little hearts and minds.

Examples: A certain anti-virus app featured a splash screen of a fearsome robot (colored black with red eyes). Not only was this vain but very inappropriate and possibly tormenting to young minds. Others example graphics are ninjas, monsters, zombies, etc.

There certainly are several app-locking applications offered out there. However when non-Christian developed, the apps' main interface themselves are at times found to contain content (graphics and/or illustrations) that are equally concerning. And for those that may not at the time, there often fear that they may just do on their next version release. Yes the argument is that, Christians sometimes have to handle certain areas themselves. And Christian schools are a good example of such areas.

Aspired feature

* Killing the pertinent app on back, home or menu button press. This is because on menu press, certain devices display previews of main interfaces of all running apps. While this is no issue on some, it was concerning for apps such as YouTube which may contain inappropriate content on there main pages.
