iPhone Lockscreen 1.0.0.0
For those who want to make their Windows Phone look a bit differently from the rest and resemble other devices that are renowned for their beautiful appearance, iPhone Lockscreen is one of the possible choices waiting to be put to the test.
Pleasant front-end with a practical side
This app offers a quite nice aspect that includes a neat background image and some carefully drawn graphics that are consistent from end to end and clearly visible onto the locked screen.
The navigation among the various sections of the utility is done without any issues and it is pretty smooth, except for a certain aspect that can become extremely irritating.
Inside the main screen there are some ad banners that appear every time and some of them are placed in such a manner that they obstruct the access to some functions and closing them can be a bit tricky. Just as annoying are the adverts that you will come across when you want to unlock the device.
Simple configuration thanks to easy to understand instructions
iPhone Lockscreen teaches you everything you need to know in order to use it without any problems as soon as you start it and if you want to go again through the tutorial, it can be easily reached from the main menu.
The personalization of the app consists mainly in selecting the desired wallpaper and start screen images from the photos you keep inside the dedicated folder onto your phone.
Lock the screen and protect the access
The utility enables you to add a shortcut tile onto the Start screen, so as to have the lock command at your fingertips and you can also perform the same action from the notification center, by tapping the notification listed inside.
A PIN code can be set in place to provide the illusion of security and it will have to be entered each time the screen is unlocked from inside iPhone Lockscreen. The disappointment comes from a limitation that is caused by the limitations imposed by the operating system and which makes the app easy to send away, even if the lock is active.
More precisely, you can press either the "Start" or "Back" button and close the utility, while the power button on your handset will still function and can be used to lock the device the old-fashioned way.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The good impression left by the nice graphics and background image that are provided by this app is spoiled by the pesky ad banners. |
Function6
The simple customization and neat features of iPhone Lockscreen are, however, limited and it needs a better integration with the system. |
Security5
This application requires access inside a lot of sensitive areas of the system and it has no good reason for this. |
Battery5
The utility takes up a considerable amount of energy, as it has a very high power consumption all the time it is up and running. |
Price9
If the features are all free to use by anyone, there is still a price to pay and this toll is taken in moments of patience to endure the countless ads. |
Compatibility8
All users who want to take iPhone Lockscreen for a spin will have to do this only on a Windows Phone 8.1 or higher handset. |
