Lockscreen Buddy++ 1.0.1.0
For those who want to tinker with the lock screen of their Windows Phone handsets, trying out a utility like Lockscreen Buddy++ might have a very positive affect, as it offers some neat features.
Clean and unadorned front-end
The interface of this application is pretty simple and doesn't bear any fancy graphics, as it is focused on providing a convenient means of tweaking the appearance of the lock screen.
The functions and commands are conveniently placed in the main menu hosted in the lower side of the screen, so they can be easily accessed and put to good use.
Going through the few sections of Lockscreen Buddy++ is fluent and without any delays or other types of similar glitches. However, after a few uses you will start to receive some prompts to review and rate the app.
Select and customize the lock screen wallpapers
This utility makes it possible for you to immediately create a list of images that will be cycled in random order as backgrounds when the screen is locked. However, there is more than simply adding the pictures.
With the help of this app you can apply filters to the photos you pick and going through the available effects is easy to do by using the two dedicated buttons that reside at the bottom of the screen.
What's more, Lockscreen Buddy++ enables you to save the modified images to the media library, so you can use them for other purposes as well.
Add custom text on the lock screen
Besides the main functionality of lock screen wallpaper cycler, the application can be used for one more purpose, also related to the content displayed when the screen is locked.
More precisely, you have the possibility to add some text onto the lock screen, by typing it into the dedicated area of the utility and selecting Lockscreen Buddy++ to be the app that displays its detailed status from the system settings area dedicated to the lock screen.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The looks of this app are less appealing and more practical so it loses quite a bit form the visual perspective. |
Function7
The image enhancements brought by this utility are great, as is the custom lock screen text ability, but the feature set is limited to these two main functions. |
Security10
This is a discreet and well-behaved application that will not come close to any sensitive areas of the system. |
Battery7
Lockscreen Buddy++ needs a fair amount of energy to function well, so the battery usage goes a bit above moderate levels. |
Price10
Since it offers totally freely all its features, the app has an excellent value overall, despite the occasional prompts. |
Compatibility9
Ready for use on the more recent handset on the market, the utility only needs Windows Phone 8 or higher. |
