Lollipop Lockscreen 1.0.0.0
Lollipop Lockscreen is a utility especially tailored for Windows Phone users who want to give a personal touch to the previously mentioned procedure.
Fine-looking GUI, with a layout bent on practicality
Considering the neat background image that greets you once you open the app for the first time and viewing the well designed graphics that are consistent throughout the utility it's safe to say that the visual aspect is very good overall.
The navigation inside Lollipop Lockscreen is also smooth and without functional issues, but there are some annoyances that can be difficult to cope with.
More precisely, inside the home screen and onto the lock screen you will see some flashing ad banners that, in some cases, even impede the access to some functions. The ads from the main screen, with the menu buttons can be closed, but the lock screen adverts require rating and reviewing the app to go away.
Learn the ropes and configure the app on the go
The utility instructs you on how to operate it properly right from the get-go, so there should be no issues from this perspective. More so, in case you want to go through the tutorial again, it is available inside the main menu.
To set up the app you have the possibility to choose a picture of your own that will serve as the lock screen wallpaper, while another image is required to be displayed right after the unlocking operation is complete.
Quick launch and password protection
Triggering the main function of Lollipop Lockscreen 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.
Setting up an access code that consists of a 4-digit PIN that is requested every time the device is unlocked is also possible, but its apparent protection may be easily surmounted if the app is closed.
Since the utility does not fully integrate with the system and functions just like any other installed application, with one tap on the "Start" or "Back" buttons you will exit Lollipop Lockscreen, even if its lock is in place.
The search function that activates Cortana and the camera button shown on the lock screen are functional and if you swipe in their direction they will start up promptly.
