iOS Lockscreen 1.0.0.1
iOS Lockscreen is one of the apps that has a pretty self-explanatory name, so in case you want to make your handset look like an iPhone, you can try this tool to see what it can actually do for you.
Well organized GUI with a cool appearance
This app comes with a neat looking wallpaper that is the background of the home screen and it also has some nicely designed graphics that are consistent from end to end.
The navigation inside iOS Lockscreen has a fluent feel to it, but there is an ever-present source of discontent represented by the ad banners.
These adverts are constantly changing and will obstruct some functions from the main menu. Also, these nuisances appear onto the lock screen and you will only get rid of them if you rate and review the app, as you are prompted by the ad text.
Set the images and launch the lock screen
As soon as the application is installed and started, it will show you from the first run the instructions that have to be followed in order to operate the utility without any problems. Should you need to revisit the tutorial, there is a dedicated entry in the main menu.
Unless you want to go with the default options, you can select a picture from the local storage to serve as the main lock screen wallpaper. In a similar manner, you have the possibility to pick the start screen image as well, but note that it will only appear for a few instants each time you unlock the screen.
In order to trigger the lock screen you can tap the "Launch" button from inside the app or pick the "Pin Tile" option and put a special shortcut onto the Start screen for easier access. This is not all because the same functionality is also available from the notification center.
Set a password to enhance the security
The utility is able to offer a bit of extra protection by allowing you to choose a 4-digit PIN code that will be requested each time the screen is unlocked through iOS Lockscreen.
Nonetheless, you cannot rely on this app to keep your phone secure because it can be closed just like most apps, with one tap on the "Start" or "Back" buttons.
The application manages to provide a set of handy details at a glance while the lock screen in displayed, so you can check out the battery level, the status of the WiFi and cellular networks, besides the usual date and time info.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
Despite the fact that it looks and moves quite well, iOS Lockscreen has the disadvantage of being plagued by endless streams of advertisements. |
Function6
The screen locking and PIN protection abilities are most welcomed, but there are some major drawbacks from the functional perspective. |
Security5
The app is definitely too curious as it requires access to a lot of sensitive system areas that are not related to any of its functions. |
Battery4
The more this utility is kept running, the faster the battery will discharge because the power consumption is very high. |
Price9
The features brought about by this application are free to use, but the nagging ads will only go away from the lock screen after rating and reviewing the app. |
Compatibility8
iOS Lockscreen is meant to accommodate the needs of Windows Phone users who have at their disposal a device powered by version 8.1 of the OS. |
