The full video and audio of the interview are now available from Daring Fireball for those interested in seeing exactly what Schiller and Federighi had to say. The executives discussed such topics as the ability to remove stock apps in iOS 10, the opening of several parts of Apple’s platforms to third-party developers to allow integration into apps such as Messages and Maps, and more.

The discussion also covered Apple’s expanded subscription options for app developers, including some clarification on which types of apps may not be appropriate for such a model, details on the new Photos features and how Apple is approaching privacy with them, and some thoughts on how Apple was able to make such significant improvements in the watchOS user experience.

Super Locker-DIY&Headlines: Lock Screen app with lots of options (Review)


Overview

In the world of phones, we are always looking for new ways to get information faster. Many developers have started with the lock screen. At a very basic level, stock lock screens carry some sort of shortcuts to the camera as well as time and weather apps. There are a few lock screens that even show you a few headlines or recent apps.

What if you want more? Super Locker- DIY & Headlines will bring you more.

Developer: Locker Headlines Team
Cost: Free ( With Ads)

Highlights

  • Customizable Lockscreen
  • News
  • Applock
  • Countdown
  • Search

Review

Superlocker6Super Locker is a highly customization lock screen with a number of ways to gain control of the information you see. Starting off, there are four main things you get to control, Notifications, Weather, Countdown Day, and News.

With the weather, just like most stock options, you choose your location, either automatically or manually, and Celsius or Fahrenheit. Now where it gets cool is the notifications. It gives you the option to light up the screen when you get a message from apps as well as which apps you get notifications from. The countdown day is exactly what it sounds like, where it allows you to set a timer. And the news setting gives you many options of the types of news you get to see.

Within Super Locker there are some deeper settings you can access such as the color for the time, date and camera icons. You can select different types of lock screen unlocks like slide to unlock, unlock sound and more. There are tons of style and wallpaper options this app offers for download. In order to download these you must watch a short video .

Super Locker also has a built-in a battery saving element that will alert you of things running needlessly in the background consuming precious power. I couldn’t confirm how well it worked, but that option is there. It also has the ability to lock apps individually to keep certain apps private.

Finally let’s get to the screen itself. It has a very clean setup: pull down from the topSuperlocker14 to search, from the right for news, pulling left to unlock (unless you select pulling from the bottom). You also have the notifications at the bottom left that will show you recently apps used.

Who knew you could get so much functionality from a lock screen?

Conclusion

There are a few apps out there that perform similar functions like App Lock and Battery Saver, but Super Locker-DIY wraps all these things into one. So if you’re in the market for a lock screen with multiple features, this is definitely one to consider. Super Locker-DIY is an all-in-one feature laden lock screen functionality tool that is well worth your consideration.
