Unlock Snap

About Unlock Snap Android App

Concerned that your partner is checking your text messages or emails? Wondering if your device is being used by someone while it is left unattended? Worry no more with this application.
UnlockSnap takes a photo with your device's front-facing camera each time the device is unlocked. It allows you to see exactly who has been using your device in your absence. You can set the number of photos that the application keeps and whether they are stored on external storage or on the device itself. The application keeps the images hidden from the Android Media Scanner ensuring that none of them are visible in the Gallery application. You can also select the photo resolution, temporarily disable photo taking and view the photos. UnlockSnap does not need a constantly running service so it does not significantly impact your device's battery life or performance; when Android tells it that the device has been unlocked it takes a photo and goes away.

A feature limited, ad supported trial version of this application is available from the Play Store.
Please note that some android devices do not allow pictures to be taken without showing a preview image. Please download the trial version from the Play Store to confirm that it works with your device and that you like it prior to purchase.

N.B. UnlockSnap requires that your device has a front-facing camera to function.

* Bug Reporting

There is a bug reporting form built in to the application that is accessed via the menu on the settings screen. Please try to describe as best you can, and in as much detail as you can, the problem and what you were doing at the time it occurred.

If your problem prevents you from accessing the bug reporting form then please report the issue via email or using a 'Report' button if one is displayed.
