Astronomy Lock Screen 1.6.1.0
This particular piece of kit is designed to bring you a fresh background image for your lock screen every day, as it retrieves the Astronomy Picture of the Day from NASA.
Plain and easy to use front-end
The interface of the app is simple, functional and friendly for all users, as it presents the daily picture accompanied by the title that describes it. More important is the way in which the wallpaper is displayed on the lock screen and the application excels in this, as it provides only high-quality content every time.
An ad banner is shown in the top part of the screen while accessing the app's home screen, but it is no longer displayed onto the lock screen, which is a positive thing.
Keep or share the astronomy related pics you have onto your lock screen
The way in which Astronomy Lock Screen works is no secret, as it functions on auto-pilot, fetching and displaying the new picture without requiring your intervention.
In case you like the image so much you want to keep it, there is a dedicated "Save" button awaiting for you to use it from the main menu that is available in the lower part of the screen.
Sharing the photos is also possible, as the application supports sending the pictures via SMS or email messages, as well as through a social network client you might have installed onto the mobile phone.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The way in which the lock screen will look after you install this app is impressive thanks to the beautiful imagery the utility can get a hold of. The interface is also practical and easy to work with, having a single drawback represented by the ad banner on the top of the screen. |
Function8
The application does what it is supposed to very smoothly and manages to provide some extra features as well, so if you want to save the pictures onto the phone or share them with friends, there are some specialized functions at hand. |
Security9
Except for asking access to the owner's identity, the app remains discreet and will only use the phone dialer when you want to share photos through the SMS function. |
Battery9
As it works in the background and uses a dedicated agent to fetch the photos, the utility needs a very small amount of energy to run, so the battery usage remains at low and very low values. |
Price9
The application carries out a simple task and it does it flawlessly, while bringing a set of supplementary features, all for free, so its overall value is indeed remarkable. |
Compatibility8
Only owners of more recent handsets that are powered by Windows Phone 8 and above can try this app onto their handsets, as long as the screen resolution is at least 480x800 pixels. |
