The simple look of this application consists of two main areas where if holds the shortcuts for the items you can pin to the Start screen to gain instant access to some system areas or to lock the device.

One Touch Lockscreen offers a nice palette of icons for the shortcuts you may want to place on the screen, featuring different styles of design and coloring.

Thus, all you have to do is tap on the preferred shortcut from the home screen and that icon will be sent to the Start screen. You can pin several shortcuts and place them strategically, so as to have them at hand anytime in case you need to quickly lock the screen.

Besides this functionality, One Touch Lockscreen also comes with a set of extra shortcuts for several key areas of the system. This means that instead of having to find and open the "Settings" menu and then scroll to the desired area you want to access, now you can open those sections with a single tap.
