Missing Phone 2.1.0.0
To keep hope of recovering their beloved handset alive, Windows Phone users have at their disposal some specialized applications that are meant to help them prepare for such an unfortunate event and Missing Phone is one of those tools.
Uncomplicated GUI with a practical design
This app provides a really simple interface that you can use to customize the looks of the lock screen wallpaper that you want to create. The graphics are quite decent and also ready for personalization.
The layout of the commands and functions is fairly convenient, as all the controls can be easily accessed via the main menu hosted at the bottom of the main screen. The workspace is as large as it can be, since almost the entire screen is at your disposal for making the necessary changes and previewing the results in real time.
Add the contact details and other useful info
Missing Phone is ready to make your lock screen accommodate several lines of text that are overlain on the background picture you select and zoom to fit the display of your phone.
A neat feature of this app is the inclusion of a ICE (In Case of Emergency) line where you can add one of your contacts, so if something happens to you while you have the phone, the potential rescuers will now who to call.
Perform extra customizations on the fly
Depending on the selected picture, you might want to change the default font size and color in order to make the writing easier to read and Missing Phone supports both enhancements.
In case you want to have onto the lock screen some other details that may be of use for you, like the current date, time and calendar events, you can activate this from the "Settings" area, alongside the media player overlay that provides quick controls for the audio playback, song and artist information as well.
