#1 Lock Text 1.0.0.0

Add text strings onto the lock screen of your Windows Phone in a straightforward manner
Personalizing the phones appearance or enhancing the practicality of some features that are built-in the operating system is something many users are looking to obtain when resorting to some specialized tools.

For those who want to have some text bits shown on the lock screen may be interested in trying out onto their Windows Phone handsets a utility like #1 Lock Text.

Extremely simple interface for effortless deployment

When it comes to the visual aspect of this application, things are pretty clear as it lacks any adornments and there are no elements of graphical design that could be deemed as appealing.

The looks are clearly bent solely on practicality, so the layout offers an input box with more than enough space for you to write down the text you want to see onto the lock screen of your phone.

The commands and usage explanations are available inside the main screen, so there are no other menus or sections of #1 Lock Text that you may check out.

Some annoying ad banners will appear inside the app's main screen, in the lower part and will keep on changing continuously.

Add the text inside the corresponding field to have it on display in an instant

This application is able to put on the lock screen three rows of text, so you can add a limited amount of info there, but this can be sufficient for taking a quick note, adding a reminder text or having a famous citation shown there.

There seems to be no limit for adding content in the text box, but any extra words or lines that exceed the 3 row limit will simply be left out from view.

Simple configuration at a glance

In order to have #1 Lock Text function properly there is no more than a single step to take care of. More precisely, you will have to pay a short visit to the "lock screen"system area in the "Settings" and choose this utility in the field for the applications that show their detailed status.

If this simple configuration is done correctly, upon pressing the "Lock Text" button the content you added will become available onto the lock screen, right under the current time and date, in the lower side of the display.

Bottom Line
Design / UI3
 

The looks of this application are disappointing form the visual perspective and there are some bothersome adverts inside the GUI as well.

Function5
 

Extremely simple, but to the point, this utility offers a very simple method of adding text onto the lock screen, but it offers no extra functions and too few text lines.

Security10
 

Very discreet while running, #1 Lock Text doesn't go anywhere near the sensitive areas of the system.

Battery6
 

The application requires a rather considerable amount of power to function well, so the battery usage reaches high values.

Price9
 

Completely free to use on any device, #1 Lock Text doesn't ask for money, but has plenty of ads inside.

Compatibility9
 

Tailored to be used on the more recent handsets out there, the app requires Windows Phone 8 or higher devices.
