Cyanogen Lockscreen Free 1.0.0.1

A stylish app that provides an interesting way of locking the Windows Phone screen
Considering the numerous possibilities users have ate their disposal when it comes to customizing the appearance of their phones, the choice is mainly a matter of personal taste, so experimenting with a new kind of tool made for locking and unlocking the mobile devices can be pretty enticing.

Cyanogen Lockscreen Free is one of the apps that has a pretty self-explanatory name, so in case you want to bring onto your handset the look of the Cyanogen lock screen, you can try this tool to see what it's all about.

Cool graphics and convenient layout

This app offers a quite nice aspect that includes a neat background image and some carefully drawn graphics that are consistent from end to end and clearly visible onto the locked screen.

Going through the various section of the utility is a breeze, as everything goes smoothly but there is a major nuisance represented by the presence of some really irritating ad banners that appear inside the home screen and also on the lock screen.

Fast setup with clear instructions

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

Unless you want to go with the default options, you can select a picture from the local storage to serve as the main lock screen wallpaper.

Multiple lock methods and on-screen info

Triggering the main function of the application can be done from the main menu of the app, 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.

Nonetheless, if you think you can rely on Cyanogen Lockscreen Free to keep your phone secure, think again because it can be closed just like most apps, with one tap on the "Start" or "Back" buttons.

In case you want to get some information at a glance from the lock screen of this utility, you can check out the current time and view the date, while also having at your disposal details concerning the battery charge status, wireless and cellular network signal strength and more.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
 

Despite the fact that it looks and moves quite well, the app has the disadvantage of being plagued by endless streams of advertisements.

Function5
 

The basic feature set of the utility is not enough for it to score to points, especially since it has the advanced features locked.

Security7
 

Cyanogen Lockscreen Free needs to look inside a few sensitive ares of the system like the phone dialer, owner and phone identities for no good reason.

Battery8
 

The application seems to need a relatively small amount of power to function correctly, so the battery usage is moderate.

Price9
 

The features brought about by this application are free to use, but the nagging ads will only go away from the lock screen after rating and reviewing the app.

Compatibility8
 

Only those who own a Windows Phone 8.1 device can try out this application onto their handsets, as it doesn't have other special requirements.
