Ring Lock 1.0.2.0

There are several ways in which someone can tinker with the appearance of their handset and give it a more personal look and feel. Those who own a mobile device powered by Windows Phone can try a few apps that provide some neat customizations, especially from the visual perspective.

Thus, you can take Ring Lock for a spin to see who it suits your phone, especially if you are familiar with this particular manner of unlocking the screen from an HTC handset.

Neat looks and practical aspect

This application offers a beautiful background inside the main screen and has a set of cool graphics that you can enjoy in every section of the app, particularly when glancing at the lock screen.

You can go through all the menus and sections of Ring Lock pretty quickly, but the smooth navigation is hindered constantly by some really nagging advertisements.

The continuously changing banners cover some menu entries in the home screen and they are also present onto the lock screen from where they can be removed only after you rate and review the app.

Simple configuration and several activation modes

Once you get inside Ring Lock for the first time, you will be greeted by a tutorial that teaches you how to set up the app. You can visit the instructions later on by accessing the dedicated function form the main menu.

The first step is picking the wallpaper image for the lock screen, which can be easily selected from the photo library onto your mobile phone. The other picture you will need to choose is the start screen image and this one will only appear for a brief second after the unlocking the device.

This utility offers you two ways of quickly activating the lock, the first one by pinning a tile on the Start screen of your phone and the other by tapping the toast notification that appears in the notification center.

Protected access and basic phone info

Ring Lock comes with a neat security feature that makes it possible for you to secure the device by adding a PIN code that will be required after using the ring lock function.

However, there is one major flaw for this app that renders even this extra protection useless. More precisely, by tapping the "Back" or the "Start" buttons you will exit Ring Lock and access the phone without further restrictions.

The application is able to show some useful details onto its lock screen, so besides the date and time you can view the cellular, WiFi and battery status, as well as other notifications.
