When it comes to talking about the best apps for AndroidOn the one hand, we find very generic lists that review the best tools without entering into distinctions about the categories to which they belong, and on the other, the most popular alternatives among the public corresponding to specific topics. Among the most downloaded we find social networks, publishing platforms and followed, at a certain distance, others focused on the protection of terminals.
Today we are going to do a Quick review with the most recognized among those that intend to fulfill this last purpose but that will not be about antivirus in the strict sense, but about applications that in theory, will shield tablets and smartphones as if they were safes, protecting the contents of the galleries through passwords and unlock patterns.
1.applock
We open this list of apps with one that has achieved several hundred million downloads. With its latest update, it is now fully compatible with Android Oreo. Its idea is very simple: It allows you to set passwords and blocking patterns for social networks, stored photos and even for text messages. Its biggest drawback may be its integrated purchases, which reach 98 euros.
2. SmartAppLock
We continue with another platform very similar to the first one that has also been well received, approaching 50 million downloads. Its bases are the following: Protection of content through standards with simple plots, and saving resources with functions of optimization. Its users assure that it is easy to use, although it has also received criticism for being somewhat annoying when having to constantly draw passwords to access and respond to messages.
3. Security apps that seek the first position
Thirdly, we find another that is willing to become the leader in its category, since like the first one that we have shown you, it is close to achieving the 500 million downloads. This is CM Looker, a complementary tool to one of the most widely used antivirus programs, which stands out for its anti-theft function that constantly tracks the location of the terminals if they are stolen. In addition, it contains a folder with wallpapers and themes with which to personalize the devices.
4. Solo locker
We close with a platform that could be considered one of the latest developments of this genre. Although its reception has been somewhat warmer than that of the others that we have shown you, remaining around 20 million users, it stands out for its passwords, which are made up of paths and images, since it allows to establish photographs of the galleries as part of the patterns. As with the third, it contains a screensaver to give the devices another appearance.
