Nice Lock 1.1.0.5
Nice Lock is one of the apps that can bring just a little bit of change onto the Start screen, but it manages to combine enhanced functionality with nice looks and some extra features.
Practical layout with a decent appearance
The utility comes with a fairly clean aspect and all the functions and options readily accessible from the several sections of the interface.
Moving from one area to another is smooth and there is a large preview screen where you can check out how the visual modifications you make will look like in the end.
A bit of a bother are the advertisement banners that appear to be glued to the top of the screen and will follow you in every corner of the application.
Customize the lock button on the go
The default look of the shortcut tile that Nice Lock can display onto the start screen can be personalized in a few easy steps. Thus, you can choose a different icon from the 20 variants you have at your disposal in the dedicated section of the app.
Finding a suitable background for the chosen icon is quite simple to do if you head on to the specialized area where almost a hundred colors are waiting to be picked.
Add effects and sounds to the lock screen procedure
This application includes a neat set of animations you can go through and check out before deciding which one will be displayed in the instant before the phone's screen is locked.
There is also a nice selection of sounds you can browse and choose the one that goes best with the animation, background and tile style you chose previously. Playing back the audio files is possible by pressing the corresponding button shown next to each entry from the drop-down list.
