You are complaining that the passcode is doing exactly what you decided it should do: Request it once anybody tries to enter the app.

No. The passcode is requested when I switch back to the app. The app is still running. I'm not sure how to make this any clearer.

there is plain no need to set a passcode for individual apps in addition to the safeguards protecting the entire device

Sorry, but that's not your call. I don't mind if my son uses my phone to look something up, and I don't care if he accesses my email or text messages. But Evernote contains health information, diary entries, financial summaries, etc.

Removing the lock timeout setting was unwise. Use case:

I'm reading one of my recipes in Evernote. I switch to my shopping app to add brown sugar to my cart. Then I switch back to Evernote to see what else I need. And now I have to enter my pass code again. Rinse, repeat, unusable.
