Clever Screen Lock 2.7.0.6
For those interested in giving a fresh look to their lock screen on Windows Phone, there are some utilities that could serve the purpose very well and Clever Screen Lock is one of them.
Friendly interface, with beautiful backgrounds
This utility provides an easy to use GUI that features some nice wallpaper images you can choose from and have the ones you like displayed onto the lock screen with one tap. The operational commands are all at hand, either on the right side of the screen or in the main menu hosted in the lower part of the display.
Quite annoying are the advertisement banners that appear in the main screen and will keep on flashing every few seconds. After a few launches, you will also receive some prompts that ask you to leave a review or rate the app.
Choose the image source and have the lock screen modified automatically
This application enables you to pick either the Internet or the local media library as source of pictures to be shown onto the lock screen of your phone.
Opting for the first variant will open up a world of photos that belong to dozens of categories and which you can have as wallpapers that cycle sequentially or in random order. In case you want to use just the pictures from a specific category this will be possible only after a purchase is made.
Save photos to the local cache and have famous quotes displayed onto the lock screen
A neat feature of Clever Screen Lock is the ability to download the images and store them temporarily for up to 3 weeks, but the free version will only preserve the pics for 2 days.
Should you care to bring a bit of wisdom alongside the beauty of the wallpapers, the app offers you a dedicated function called "Quote of the day". Also, the citation can be shared or copied with one tap.
Extra features for more functionality
You can have even more information thanks to a built-in weather function that allows this application to include onto the lock screen the current temperature for your location.
In case you want to keep a note close at hand and always available, without having to unlock the screen, in the "Advanced" area of the "Settings" menu you can add the text in the corresponding box.
