iOS 8 Lockscreen 1.0.0.1

Bring a small bit of the cool looks of iOS onto your Windows Phone with a neat app
There are several ways in which someone can tinker with the appearance of their handset and give it a more personal look and feel. Those who own a mobile device powered by Windows Phone can try a few apps that provide some neat customizations, especially from the visual perspective.

iOS 8 Lockscreen is one of the apps that has a pretty self-explanatory name, so in case you want to make your handset look like an iPhone or other iOS powered device, you can try this tool to see what it can actually do for you.

Nice looking interface, with an organized layout

The looks of this utility are pretty well designed, with some cool backgrounds and neat graphics that are preserved all through the GUI and particularly onto the lock screen.

Moving inside the app and going through its menus is fluent and glitch-free, but there is a constant annoyance that accompanies you at every step.

Inside the main screen there are some ad banners that appear every time and some of them are placed in such a manner that they obstruct the access to some functions and closing them can be a bit tricky. Just as annoying are the adverts that you will come across when you want to unlock the device.

Straightforward configuration and customization

The utility instructs you on how to operate it properly right from the get-go, so there should be no issues from this perspective. More so, in case you want to go through the tutorial again, it is available inside the main menu.

Thus, you only have to decide which pictures you want to be shown for a brief second onto the start screen after the phone is unlocked and also pick the desired lock screen wallpaper that will be shown when you want to unlock the device.

To enable the screen lock you can opt for having a dedicated tile pinned to the Start screen of your Windows Phone or you can carry out the task using the toast notification from the corresponding area.

Security options and extra info at a glance

iOS 8 Lockscreen comes with a neat security feature that makes it possible for you to secure the device by adding a PIN code that will be required after using the ring lock function.

Nonetheless, you cannot rely on this app to keep your phone secure because it can be closed just like most apps, with one tap on the "Start" or "Back" buttons.

A positive aspect is that with the screen locked by this utility you get a nice clock onto a completely dark background and after double-tapping it, the proper lock screen will appear and it allows you to view, besides the date and time, the battery info, cellular and WiFi signal strength.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
 

The cool interface of this application is a bit overshadowed by the irritating ad banners that are continuously changing.

Function7
 

The idea brought by this utility is pretty nice, but there are quite a few issues, some caused by the OS restrictions and others by the app itself that limit its usage.

Security5
 

iOS 8 Lockscreen requires access inside a lot of sensitive areas of the system and it has no good reason for this.

Battery8
 

The moderate power consumption of this application manages to keep the battery usage well within normal levels.

Price9
 

All the features are free to enjoy without any costs, but there are some really pushy advertisements that may even hinder its usage.

Compatibility8
 

Tailored for use on the latest devices on the market, Drag To Unlock needs to be installed and put to work on Windows Phone 8.1 handsets only.
