Generalising from experience, it is safe to say make the bold statement that all Smartphone owners continually strive to extract that extra measure of performance and usability from their proud-to-own, better-than-a-Swiss-army-knife, mobile device. The following lock screen apps provide unique, innovative, and rather major additional methods of improving the functionality and features of just about any smart phone in an area that to date has been completely underutilised.
Cover Lockscreen app automatically detects when you arrive at home, leave for work, or travel somewhere in your car; however, the greatest part is that it will automatically learn all the apps that you tend to use the most often in each of these contexts and locales. This allows the app to pre-load your lock screen with those applications you use the most while your car, which in turn allows you complete access to any of these apps instantly, and directly from your lock screen. Simply put, this automatically gives you immediate access to all the apps you will most often use at home, listed in the correct order of the most used to the least used, as soon as you leave home it will then swap the app list to those you would require while in your car.
It again repeats the process of swapping around to the most often used apps when you arrive at work, it even offers a customisable option for other activities, which could be anything from running, walking, hiking, to gym or whatever you might need to suit your personal habits. It even allows you to jump directly from one app to the next without any additional opening closing and tapping of multiple keys to navigate between apps. The app’s Peek function allows you to see whatever is new in any app instantly from your lock screen, by allowing you to have a glance at your calendar, or check for new updates on social activities. It even launches apps directly from the lock screen with an effortless swipe.
