This app is intended to make the lock/unlock easier. Just put your phone into your pocket, and the phone automatically locks/unlocks.

YOU CAN UNINSTALL THIS APP BY GOING INTO SETTINGS -> LOCATION & SECURITY -> SELECT DEVICE ADMINISTRATORS -> DELETE DEVREC PERMISSION!!

It uses the proximity sensor and the magnetic field sensor (i.e. if you have a magnet in your phone case, then with the magnetic field sensor the phone is able to better determine if it's in the case) to lock/unlock the phone.

You can also mute incoming calls when phone is turned upside down.

Please note, that the sensors in your phone may be very inaccurate (for me, the proximity sensor is good if I put the phone into my pocket, but if I put it into my phone case, the proximity sensor just reports bad data sometimes, so I had to use the magnet sensor there.)

A good calibration should also help a lot.
