LockScreen Note 1.1.0.0
For those who want to tinker with the lock screen of their Windows Phone handsets, trying out a utility like LockScreen Note might have a very positive affect, as it offers some neat features.
Uncomplicated appearance, with a practical design
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.
All the commands and functions are neatly tucked inside the main menu that is hosted at the bottom of the screen, so accessing them is effortless. Some annoying ad banners will appear inside the app's main screen, in the lower part and will keep on changing continuously.
Add the texts and choose the background image on the fly
This application is able to put on the lock screen 4 rows of text, so you can add a limited amount of info there, but this can be sufficient for taking a quick note, adding a reminder text or having a famous citation shown there.
Exceeding the length of the text input line will result in the extra content being left out, so you will have to be make sure everything you want to display on the lock screen fits this requirement.
With this utility you can specify the color for the text shown on screen from the "Settings" area (white or black), but more importantly, you have the possibility to choose a custom photo to have it set as the lock screen background.
Fast customization and extra options
The images can be cropped to fit the screen dimensions and when this operation is complete, you can hit the "Save" button and have the wallpaper ready for selection from the "Saved Pictures" folder on your phone.
However, there are a few more modifications you can bring to the text, more precisely it is possible for you to activate the bold text, use a rectangle to display the written content in and also include or exclude the date and time from the preview.
To use the custom background image you just created, you have to change the lock screen provider from the dedicated area of the system settings and pick "photo" then select the wallpaper made with LockScreen Note.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The unappealing front-end is bent only on functionality and thus loses a lot of points form the visual perspective, as it doesn't have much to offer. |
Function7
The custom image selection and preview are great, as is the custom lock screen text ability, but the feature set is limited to these two main functions. |
Security7
There are a quite a few system areas in which this app needs to look into, like the phone and owner identities or the phone dialer, even if they are not related to its functionality. |
Battery6
LockScreen Note requires a rather considerable amount of power to function well, so the battery usage reaches high values. |
Price9
Having the possibility to add texts onto the lock screen is mostly welcomed, especially when this is free of costs, but the ads make the app lose a bit of value. |
Compatibility10
The majority of Windows Phone users out there can have this utility up and running onto their handsets, as long as these are running version 7.5 or higher of the OS. |
