Emergency Lock 1.2.3.0
There are some special Windows Phone apps like Emergency Lock that make it possible to have several fields of information visible without having to unlock the device, as the writings are shown right onto the locked screen.
Efficient front-end, with a decent appearance
The application comes with a fairly well organized layout for both data input and information displaying on the lock screen. The appearance of the utility is not customizable, but the content can be personalized pretty easily.
The commands and functions, as well as the contained information are all easy to reach and read, with the navigation among the various sections of the app being seamless and without any visible flaws.
There is one customization you can apply to Emergency Lock and it pertains to the tile that is pinned to the Start screen. More precisely, you can have it displayed with a transparent background or colored in bright red, depending on the choice you make in the "Settings" screen.
After a couple of uses you will receive a prompt that tasks you to rat and review the application, but you can deactivate these reminders and close the prompt with a couple of taps.
Edit personal info and sent it to the lock screen
Emergency Lock will make it possible for you to list the details for the person you trust to be your emergency contact, as well as other very important medical info. Thus, you can include your known allergies and the medications you care currently on.
This application is able to put on the lock screen 6 rows of text, so you can add a relatively limited amount of info there, but you can add quite a lot of content inside the respective fields, so the lock screen might contain more than sufficient info and some relevant notes.
With the editing complete, you can exit to the preview screen and view how everything will look like onto the locked screen. To send the data there, simply tap the "Set lock" button form the main menu hosted in the lower side of the screen.
