Microsoft Quietly Launches A Free Lock Screen Replacement App For Android


Things are committed to Microsoft Garage, where company employees share pilot projects that have been working on. The latest version is picturesque lock screen, a free application for Android that adds useful features, useful links and beautiful images from the lock screen.

Block picturesque display almost feels like a second home screen. It has several screens that slide and added a search bar Bing, a customizable news feeds, weather forecasts, device notifications, shortcuts to frequently used applications and alternate settings. It also shows the boot image Bing page for daily use as background and lets you swipe through images of last week to use.

Picturesque certainly looks good but could be a bit much for users who already have their own home screens lots of widgets and shortcuts. However, if you're sticking with a pitcher who removed the app drawer at all, this might be up your alley. Overall I like the lock screen to provide a level of security and load quickly. And when I'm home, Smart Unlock enabled me to skip the lock pattern I started so you can quickly start using my phone as soon as I take it.

With Picturesque, you will have the opportunity to really lock your phone, and you have a lot of data hungry widgets trying to update frequently. This does not mean it's a bad app at all, but I wonder if anyone has need of all these features and the content of your green lock screen is the second lock screen replacement to exit Microsoft Garage; Locking the next screen, which launched last October, is aimed at business users with a schedule of prominent power and the ability to dial into conference calls with one stone.
