He’s an app/cartoon personality that’ll hide your secret passwords, photos, reminders and more. What’s also really nice is that your private data is protected by a password that can be more complex than a four-digit PIN.
Ben the Bodyguard definitely comes with its (very polished) charm, and that’s part of what you’re paying for. While there’s something to be said for fun, it’s a solid app in its functionality, too, so you’re not out $5.99 for a graphic novel-esque security app. It stores pretty much any kind of information you’d need in your phone, uses 256-bit encryption to keep it safe, and notifies you discreetly when it needs to. Basically, Ben gives you a private bucket on your iPhone so you don’t have to worry about friends, family, or complete strangers learning your secrets.
If $6 is a little too step for you, however, Private Data is a less-flashy but free alternative.

I’m not sure if this was a dig at iOS or other password apps but iOS has supported more advanced lock screen passwords for a while.
Settings->General->Passcode Lock
and then turn off Simple Passcode.
