Passcode Lock Screen 1.4.1
Passcode Lock Screen is a nice application that you may use to customize your lock screen while at the same time protect your phone with a password. It has a little bit of everything, although it would have been nice if it had some more features.
Sleek design with some customization features
The app launches abruptly, without providing users with any tutorial or instructions to get them started. There are no tips, so you're left discovering the app and its capabilities on your own. Still, it shouldn't be difficult since the UI is very intuitive and the settings menu is filled with all sort of features and tools that you can use.
The app comes with some customization features, you can have the app hide the notification bar and pick from the many wallpapers that are available inside. The images are all HD and very artistic, so you'll surely find something that you'd like.
Adjust settings before using the app
Considering that it's a lock screen app, it needs users to adjust settings before actually starting to use the app. Aside from picking a wallpaper, you can also change the keypad theme, but only two are available.
Still, you can assign a wallpaper from your own gallery or choose a font for the text that would appear on the screen. The color of the text can also be changed. You can also pick the hour format and have the app display diacritical marks in your notifications.
Lock and protect your phone
A lock screen app usually comes with multiple methods of locking your phone and protecting all the personal information that you have stored in your device. However, Passcode Lock Screen only comes with one lock method and that is a four-digit passcode.
The app posts a notification star in your status bar. Some applications have similar stars for notifying users of new content or for quickly killing the app, however there's no reason why a locker app should have that.
In addition, it comes with a lot of popup ads which make the UI lag at times and there's no option of removing them. It seems that the app also has some stability issues and doesn't always lock the screen.
