Cover Lock Screen 0.1.13

Have full access to your apps from the lock screen

Possibly the most popular apps out there are for customizing your phone and making it more unique and personal. But people are also searching for functionality and a better and faster way of using their phones. This is where Cover Lock Screen comes in play. It has surprising features for a such a seemingly simple app.

Sleek UI with some customization features

Cover lock screen app is impressive through its much appreciated simplicity and freshness that would make you forget about ever unlocking your phone again. It leaves plenty of space for notifications and the clock on the right, while featuring the list of apps on the left side. Still, it doesn't display the weather and outside temperatures, which is one of the things that people check the most on their phones.

Cover comes with several wallpapers divided in accordance to your location. The images come in HD and are really pleasing to the eye, offering a sleek appearance to the whole app. There's also the option of choosing a custom image from your gallery, but it's hard to believe that you'd do so considering how nice the wallpapers are.

Let Cover arrange apps based on your location

The whole concept behind Cover is that it record your preferences and location to arrange apps based on where you are at a certain time of the day. Cover collects data on apps that you use over the span of several days.

It's quite a genius idea, considering that when at home people use only certain apps, while when driving they might use apps with GPS and maps and would need fast access to them. Still, this whole matter implies some privacy issues since Cover needs to know your home and work address. In addition, you can set Cover to hide certain apps from the lock screen, thus protecting your privacy.
