Why lock Expense Tracker: Bill Planner?
Expense Tracker: Bill Planner is a expense tracker, the kind of app that tends to hold personal information you would not want on screen if someone borrows your unlocked phone. Expense trackers record what you spend and where. Receipt scanning can upload images containing card digits and addresses.
Finance apps need identity and financial data to function. Expect Contact Info and Financial Info; compare apps on tracking and third-party advertising instead.
