IGOTyou application
This application is really a waste of money. i thougth it will be helpfull but i found out it was not at all. after pressing the LOCK ME button the pin code request menu showed up that means i have to input the 4 digit pin code. i tried to wrongly input the pin code yes it worked it capture my photo and send it to my email. for first timer you will be amaze but if you check again the software it's useless. why i said that? because when i press the LOCK ME button to run it in background, the PIN code request showed up but you know whats next? yes it will do what the software was program to do but if i press the Home button the LOCK ME background will just close and go back to the menu. meaning if the thieves accidentally press the home button before they key in the PIN code the iphone will already be open. so there's no need to input the PIN the iphone is open already what a waste of money i hope i can refund my money back

I Got You
After activated the "lock me" & motion detection is turned off, it is still accessible to the apps just by pressing the "HOME" button.It doesn't serve the purpose of locking the phone.

App is not for locking iPhone
App does not lock. Useless. It is for motion detection. U can even put in yr bag or move it. Why would one need such function ? App shows pin to lock phone but apple does not allow it to work..

Phone unlock
It's a good apps except that the phone still unlocks even when the wrong password is entered and the thief can still get access to the contents of the phone. It should stay locked.
