It is necessary to lock your apps, especially the ones holding private information that you wish nobody but you could see." I'm using App Lock, not bad but it's necessary to tweak the settings a bit to keep it becoming a nuisance.

I must admit, with the price of these devices these days, I'd rather not share.
