Drag To Unlock 1.0.0.0

Personalize the way in which your mobile phone is unlocked with a smooth dedicated app
When it comes to customizing the appearance of Windows Phone handsets, users have at their disposal quite a few possibilities, but few are made specifically to allow them to lock and unlock their devices in a relatively new way.

Drag To Unlock is one such application and it aims to offer you a cool way of carrying out the above mentioned tasks and you can even add your personal touch to the whole thing.

Appealing interface, with a practical design

The utility is definitely a looker, as it has a nice background inside the main screen and offers some high-definition graphics that are preserved from end to end, as you will notice especially when looking at the lock screen.

Browsing the app's menus and accessing the main commands is done seamlessly, but there is a visible letdown that will follow you around.

The adverts that appear inside the home screen and also onto the lock screen can be really pushy and obstruct some functions, forcing you to try and close them, but only by rating and reviewing the app will they disappear.

Quick setup and twofold activation

As soon as you start the application the built-in tutorial will show you the steps to go through in order to configure Drag To Unlock and use it without problems. This guide can be accessed at any moment from the main menu as well, in case you want to go over the procedures at a later time.

The utility needs you to choose the lock screen image that will serve as the wallpaper and also pick a picture that acts like the Start screen and is displayed for an instant right after the phone is unlocked.

To enable the screen lock you can opt for having a dedicated tile pinned to the Start screen of your Windows Phone or you can carry out the task using the toast notification from the corresponding area.

PIN code access and extra info on the lock screen

With the help of this application you will be able to protect the unlock sequence by adding an access code that is a simple 4 digit combination you set up from the main menu.

Nonetheless, you should keep in mind that Drag To Unlock acts as a simple app and can be closed by pressing the "Start" or "Back" buttons, even if it has the lock on.

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
 

The beautiful appearance of this application is a bit overshadowed by the irritating ad banners that are continuously changing.

Function7
 

There are several drawbacks this app has for the functional perspective, most of them due to the limitations of the operating system.

Security5
 

Drag To Unlock is far too curious as it looks inside the phone and owner identities, contacts, phone dialer and appointments areas.

Battery4
 

This utility will require a significant amount of power, so the battery usage is constantly at very high levels.

Price9
 

All the functions of this application are free to use, but it tries to make users leave a rating and a review in order to enjoy an ad-free experience.

Compatibility8
 

Tailored for use on the latest devices on the market, Drag To Unlock needs to be installed and put to work on Windows Phone 8.1 handsets only.
