Which is the Best Android Lock Screen App for You? – Follow Up

Last week I write an article about 6 great screen lock apps, it seems like they can't meet the demands of all. So this week I recommend more lock apps for you to choose. 

7. C Locker Pro

There are more than 30 custom shortcuts you can create with C Locker Pro to make calls, access apps or read notifications from your preferred social networks. One of our favorite options is being able to double- or triple-tap your screen to turn it off - a feature usually reserved for high-end phones.

Conclusion: A sizable lock screen package that offers a ton of features and shortcuts to refine your lock screen and give you the chance to experience high-end unlock feature free of charge.

 

C Locker Pro offers an array of themes, and it's regularly updated to incorporate new phone features such as fingerprint scanners.

8. Echo Notification Lockscreen

Echo displays messages is a sleek, minimally-designed lock screen that gives you a fine level of control over what you see and have instant access to. As you can see in the picture, you can create notification categories, such as 'work', 'media' and 'social', and choose which apps go in them. This means you have access to many more apps directly from the Echo lock screen than you would from a default Android one.

 Echo Notification Lockscreen provides you with messages and missed calls on your lock screen. 

9. GO Locker

This beast of a lock screen package offers one of the largest selection of themes of any lock screen app. It claims to have more than US$900 worth of themes (some are free, some not) and offers a range of ways to unlock your phone and present the apps you want to access most quickly. The option of shortcuts to toggle Bluetooth or mobile data on and off from the lock screen is a nice touch.

GO Locker is a good thing in big package. 

10. Next Lock Screen

Microsoft's new philosophy of going cross-platform and cross-OS with its software has been paying dividends, and Next Lock Screen is another fine example of Microsoft's design acumen complementing the Android ecosystem.

Next Lock Screen looks elegant and simple, but beneath the surface, it's cleverly calculating which apps you're most likely to use based on your location (home, work and so on), then presenting you said apps. You don't need to use this feature of course, but Next is still worth using for its neat presentation of notifications, calendars, and other key phone functions.

11. DynamicNotifications

DynamicNotifications is a subtle lock screen app that's easy on the eyes as well as on your phone's battery. By default, it has a plain black background, and notifications only switch your screen on when the phone is not in your pocket, bag or face down. This app doesn't actually have to be used as a lock screen, but the option exists if you buy the premium version (US$1.99). You can customize what happens to notifications when you swipe them, and also set a 'night mode', in which you won't receive notifications when you're asleep.

 

DynamicNotifications is a zero-flab lock screen with some nifty features.
