Cover
Customization in terminals Android is a point in favor of this operating system. Something that Google and other companies already use in their terminals, even on the lock screen, giving the option of directly accessing the tools that the user may need most urgently. However, these layers of customization have not managed to reach the level offered by the application Cover A tool that has been attracting attention for some time and is finally available for any user of Android who wants to use it.
This is an application for smartphones that replaces the usual lock screen of the terminal. In this way, the pattern or the password is dispensed with to show a screen that gives access to the most common needs of the user. In other words, a kind of direct access to the user's key applications Nothing surprising up to this point. However, what is striking about Cover is that it is able to recognize and display those applications on the lock screen in a automatic, varying said selection according to the place and time of day, without the user having to worry about anything. All this through a screen of elegant lock and, above all, practice
Just install the application to have access to all its functions. Cover automatically takes care of knowing which are the applications most used by the user and placing them in the screen. In this way it is possible to quickly access them. In addition, from the same lock screen it is possible to swipe from bottom to top to access other tools quickly without accessing the menu to search for them. But the functionalities do not end here.
With Cover you can press and hold your finger on one of the applications on the screen and swipe to directly access it to take a look Without need to unlock the terminal it is possible to know if there is new or interesting content and return the screen to its original position to keep the terminal locked. Also, when in an application or menu, it is possible to tap on the top right corner of the screen to display a menu with other frequent applications and jump directly to any of them
But what's really amazing about Cover is the ability to arrange different lock screens depending on the user's situation. Thus, without using the GPS to save battery life, it is possible for Cover to know if the user is at home, at work, in the car or anywhere else. This causes the screen to modify its list of applications as needed, showing the usual and useful tools in each case automatic Something that happens even if the devices are connected headphones, showing the musical applications of the terminal. All this taking into account that it is possible to access the settings menu to customize other features such as vibration or silent mode, specifying certain hours and places, or the background image.
In short, a brilliant idea for those users who don't want to waste time looking through their applications what they need as soon as they get hold of the terminal.An extra point is that, by placing the device in horizontal position it is possible to quickly access the photo camera , without unlocking the terminal. The Cover application is developed for Android and is fully downloadable free via Google Play Still in version beta or testing , but it is fully functional.
