Cute Lockscreen 1.0.0.0

There is no shortage of possibilities for users to give a fresh new look to their mobile devices, but not too many apps offer the ability to lock and unlock the handsets in a manner a bit different than that they are used to.

For those who want to make their Windows Phone look a bit differently from the rest and have a really fun touch, Cute Lockscreen is one of the possible choices waiting to be put to the test.

Neat appearance with appealing graphics

This utility will greet you with a pretty well designed front-end, featuring some cool backgrounds and neat graphics that are preserved all through the GUI and particularly onto the lock screen.

Moving inside the app and going through its menus is fluent and glitch-free, but there is a constant annoyance that accompanies you at every step. There are some advertisement banners inside that are constantly changing and will obstruct some functions from the main menu.

These nuisances will also appear onto the lock screen and you will only get rid of them if you rate and review the app, as you are prompted by the ad text.

Multiple launching possibilities and fast personalization

Once you get inside Cute Lockscreen for the first time, you will be greeted by a tutorial that teaches you how to set up the app. You can visit the instructions later on by accessing the dedicated function form the main menu.

The utility allows you to easily pick the desired start screen image that is displayed for an instant right after the phone is unlocked.

Triggering the main function of the app can be done from the main menu, but there are also two other alternatives. The first one is to pin a tile to the Start screen and use it to lock the screen, while the second involves the toast notification that is hosted inside the notification center.

Basic security and lock screen details

One of the best features of Cute Lockscreen is the ability to create an access PIN code which will be requested when unlocking the screen. Nonetheless, this protection is more for show because you can get passed it with a tap on either the "Start" or the "Back" buttons of your handset.

Unfortunately, there is another notable disadvantage of the actually amusing graphics shown on the lock screen. More precisely, some digits cannot be pressed to enter the unlock code and you should think well before setting it up because there is no possibility of changing it either.

A positive aspect is that with the screen locked by this utility you get a nice clock onto a completely dark background and after double-tapping it, the actual lock screen will appear. Inside it you will have at your disposal some extra information so, besides the date and time, you will see the battery status, as well as the cellular and WiFi signal strength.
