Lost Phone Screen 1.8.5.0

Lock screen personalization for those who want to add contact details in case the lose their mobile

There are many ways in which someone can customize the looks of their phone and some of them can prove of real help in some unwanted situations. For instance, in case someone misplaces their Windows Phone device and someone finds it, having some information about the owner to contact them about the mobile could come in quite handy.

Lost Phone Screen is an application tailored specifically for this purpose and it enables you to put on the lock screen some personal details like an alternative phone number or an email address the finder can use to get in touch with you and return the phone.

Simple and easy to work with GUI

The utility has a really neat look, offering a nice preview of the lock screen, with a set of sample details, so you can immediately get an idea about how the display can look like.

The functional commands are all placed at hand, in the menu shown in the lower part of the screen, for easy access, while the menu bar itself is transparent so as to let you see at a glance as much of the lock screen preview as possible.

Quick personalization and update of the data on the lock screen

This application will enable you to add up to 4 lines of text onto the wallpaper, so you can write down pretty much everything you need to make sure if you lose your handset the person finding it will have no problems whatsoever in reaching you.

An extra option you will find inside the configuration area allows you to leave some extra space in the upper part of the screen to have the media playing info shown as well.

Once you finish editing the information fields and choose if the writing should be colored in black or white, pressing the "Save" button will make the modifications come into effect on the spot.

Bottom Line

Design / UI8 The friendly appearance of Lost Phone Screen makes working with it an easy task and the generous preview provides a very good perspective of the modified lock screen.	Function7 The 4 lines of text users can fill in with personal information should be sufficient, even if the length of the text is limited to the width of the screen and the lines are cut off when writing over that limit.	Security10 The utility is very well-behaved and leaves all the sensitive areas of the phone untouched, as it only asks for permission to access the multimedia library, in concordance with its functionality.
Battery9 Thanks to a minimal power consumption, the application manages to keep the battery usage at very low, barely noticeable levels.	Price8 This app offers everything it has freely, without any costs or hindrances, so the overall value is pretty good, even the tool could use some improvements here and there.	Compatibility9 Made to work well on any Windows Phone 7.5 and higher device, Lost Phone Screen only needs a standard screen resolution of 480 by 800 pixels.
