Ask Tii - How do I password Protect individual Apps

Hi Rob, 

My 7,5,3 & 1 year old love my iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone, iPad) How do I lock programs so they can't access them? I want my 7 year old to read a book or play a math game. I do not want her killing zombies or sling shotting birds.

Hi Keith, 

 

You need to Jailbreak to get this feature. 

 

In the past I recommended the Jailbreak App Lockdown,  There was also Locktopus and FolderLock.  Sadly none of those three look to be working with iOS 5 devices.   

 

HOWEVER - there is one Cydia App - Applocker - that claims to work with iOS 5 and iOS 4 devices - and it is only $0.99. 

 

Regards,
