SlideLock Brings Your Notifications to Your Lockscreen with a Minimal Look – APP OF THE WEEK
For those out there who are bored with their lockscreen, allow me to throw SlideLock your way. I actually posted about this lockscreen app when it first landed in the Play Store, and I have been using it ever since.
SlideLock brings your notifications to your lockscreen in a very bar-bones, minimal look. I have tried my fair share of lockscreen apps that have some pretty fancy features, but I am really digging this app more so than any of those others. Just to have a minimal looking lockscreen to access my notifications, makes my phone experience that more enjoyable.
Setting up SlideLock is easy: You first click the on button, then you go into your security settings so the app has notification access. It allows you to do all this within the app, then you get to go through all the apps to pick out which ones you want to see get notifications from on your lockscreen. After that, I would recommend you turning off your stock lockscreen so there aren’t any conflicts. You will then start receiving notifications on your lockscreen, and you have the choice to either swipe left to rid your phone of that notification, or swipe right to open that notification. Easy enough, right? It also has this eye-pleasing, pulsating UNLOCK word that appears on the bottom, that I really dig. To completely unlock your device, you simply swipe right on the bottom, or swipe in the middle if you have no notifications. Swiping left will quickly access your camera.
There is a free and a paid version of this app, so you have the lovely option in trying out the app first. I highly recommend it, and I am actually still on the free version because I haven’t needed anything extra. Check out my video below of it in action. Let us know how you like it.
