While most modern phones come with a variety of security features, CM Locker helps users with outdated phone or looking for additional protection to really bolster their options. Cellular phones have rapidly become the most important window into our personal lives. And while that's a convenient thing to have, it also exposes us to a plethora of vulnerabilities. A stranger who gets your cell phone can conceivably have access to your entire collection of photos and videos and the security passwords to your most sensitive account information. And while there are measures you can take to reduce your vulnerabilities, CM Locker offers one of the most comprehensive suites for mobile security solutions around.

In terms of locking intruders out of immediate access to your phone, you have a number of options available. PIN and pattern locks are both included, and you can even set up fingerprint lock settings on compatible phones. And while setting lock settings on overall access to your phone is a valuable feature to have, the biggest selling point here may be the AppLock functionality, which allows you to designate access settings for apps on an individual basis. Most modern apps are supported, so you can keep intruders from getting access to all of your social media accounts or even your contacts list. If you want a granular level of control you can't achieve with your phone's standard security settings, you won't find a better resource than CM Locker.

There are also features that allow you to remotely control the security of your phone when it isn't in your reach and even extract valuable information about prospective intruders. You can set your phone to activate the camera when an unauthorized user tries to open an app without permission or sync CM Locker up directly with your Facebook app to lock all of your phone's settings remotely. Facebook syncing also allows you to send GPS coordinates to your phone when you lose it or set off an alarm at your request.

While CM Locker's functionality is mainly devoted to providing users with security features, there are a number of additional perks that come with this app. A huge selection of HD wallpapers, themes, and password modes allow you to personalize your lock screen to your heart's content, and you can use the daily wallpaper changer to provide you with a fresh new background every day. CM Locker also comes with a weather forecast widget that allows you to stay up to date about weather conditions in your area and a speed booster and battery saver that allows you to get more powerful performance out of your phone and extend the length of time before you have to plug it in to your charger.
