AppLock has a curious hiding system where the icon of the app takes a different appearance, such as a calculator, a compass, or an air meter. This way it goes completely unnoticed on your device. Once done, AppLock will hide behind this icon. To open the application in case it is hidden using this system, you have two options.

The first one is to locate any of the three fake icons mentioned above. Knowing what it looks like, it will be easy to identify it in the application box. Do not search for AppLock on your device because you will not see it.
