Awesome Lock Free 5.1.0.65
For those who own a Windows Phone device, the personalization of the mobile's visuals can be done in several ways, but there are also ways of making the display not only better looking, but also highly informative.
Awesome Lock Free is one of the tools that are particularly meant to take care of these tasks, as it is meant to offer full customization possibilities to any user.
Decent looks for a practical app
The utility comes with a pretty nice GUI, where the elements of graphical design are fun and easy to use all through the interface, no matter the section you are currently visiting. Not too cute are the annoying adverts you will encounter everywhere and which are continuously changing.
Moving around the various areas of the app has a fluent feel to it and Awesome Lock Free provides a lot of background choices, most of which are really high-quality pictures taken from dedicated online services
Quick configuration for
the selected information sources
This application makes it possible for you to receive a lot of info from the screen of your Windows Phone, even if it is locked. This is achieved through the use of many dedicated widgets that bring you weather data, important calendar events or currency rates, depending on the selections you made.
Picking the content providers can be done pretty quickly by visiting the "Awesome Peek!" section, where you also have at your disposal the buttons for accessing the configuration areas of each widget.
Besides the default picks that are activated when you open the app for the first time, you can add more providers by visiting the corresponding area inside Awesome Lock Free, but note that only a few are available freely, most of them requiring a premium license that can be obtained through a purchase.
Customize the lock screen appearance
The app offers to bring you the most beautiful images from 500px, Bing Pictures or even your Facebook account (paid version only) to serve as lock screen wallpapers. As expected, there is the possibility of choosing a set of locally stored images or opting for a solid color background.
You can enjoy most of the information offered by Awesome Lock Free from the Start screen as well, if you simply activate the live tile option it comes with.
There is even an offline mode which is made to allow the updating of the information that is not Internet dependent, like the calendar entries for example.
