About MinimalLock Pro

MinimalLock keeps your lock screen clean and clutter-free, performing a number of tasks with gestures and providing quick access to missed calls and incoming text messages and other notifications.

There are a lot of custom lock screen apps out there, but MinimalLock takes a slightly different approach to your lock screen. You don't have to deal with a ton of sliders and other random icons cluttering up your screen; instead, you can unlock your phone, change music tracks, and more with just a few gestures.

The really handy thing about MinimalLock is the fact that it shows notifications for missed calls, SMS messages, and more right on the lock screen, in the form of contact photos. So you can see who's trying to contact you right at a glance, without even unlocking your phone.
MinimalLock is fully customizable so you configure the lock screen perfectly to your tastes.

Supported music players are:
- Google Play Music - Poweramp
- PlayerPro - DoubleTwist
- Amazon MP3 - BeyondPod
- MIUI - Apollo (CM10)
- Winamp (Enabled 'Control Headset' in settings for this to work)

Other Features:
- Show time - Show date (Pro)
- Show network - Show WiFi,3G etc.. (Pro)
- Show battery percentage - Custom font size
- Custom font - Font color picker
- Custom unlock gesture - Custom wallpaper

Pro Notifications:
- Whatsapp - Google Plus
- Google Talk - Google Voice
- Gmail - Email
- Twitter - Facebook
- Calendar - Seven (Hotmail)
- Tweetcaster - Twicca
- MailDroid - Plume
- Instagram - Foursquare
- Seesmic - K9 Mail

If you have any issues with MinimalLock please email me before leaving negative feedback.
Also feel free to email me or tweet me @iam_robj with any feature requests you would like to see in the next version.

Enjoy! :)

NOTE: MinimalLock is NOT intended to be used as a secure lockscreen and can be bypassed with the home button. If you want security use it in conjunction with a Pin or Pattern lock. MinimalLock will show over these. Best of both worlds :-)

Developer is very responsive and updates app quickly. App itself is straightforward and minimal delivering on its promise perfectly.

Its nice, it works, it does what it is advertized to do. I bought it to try it out, and by the time I decided I really didn't have a use for it, I couldn't return it. It's a good app. The Dev deserves the money. I personally prefer WidgetLocker. Minimalistic is great for somethings, but this takes it to the extreme. *EDIT* Rob actually contacted me after I had left my original review! Fantastic customer service! Love it when devs talk to customers! Rob gets 5 stars on customer service alone!

Nicely done app. Works as advertised. Would love to be able to show the date, time etc at the top of the screen so it's more readable when notifications are present.

I70%
by I####:

The only issue I'm running into is that my notifications pop up over the time. A minor issue, but I'll give 5 stars if changed and becomes more customizable

Not easier to unlock. Large font lays on top of message pictures. Force close Not a waste of money, just time.

Does what it says. A change from all the cluttered lock screens you see all the time. Custom wallpaper, fonts and notifications. Easy to use, and easy to set up. Dev is responsive to suggestions.

i got this app because it looked like it had some great features. it doesn't. this app looks horrible on my droid dna with htc sense. i assume that this was made for another device running touch wiz. it just looks terrible on htc devices. the font and look of it just isn't good. that's my two cents. take it or leave it.

I keep coming back to this lock screen app hopping it will be better then before... still having problems with unlocking.. it set to swipe up but when I do that nothing happens.. sometime I swipe from right to left and it'll unlock.. I can hit the home button on my phone and it'll unlock too.. maybe its just me lol

I really like the UI of it and the customization, but I think the ability to change the size ofthe notification icons would be good; as they can look very 'blocky'

Awesome support also.

It's good but a lot missing.. Hope there would be updates soon..

Love the look and feel of this lockscreen. By far my favorite of the ones I've bought. However pressing the home button bypasses the lockscreen altogether. Please fix this on flaw and this would be a perfect lockscreen.

on my htc evo 4g I loved it so much it worked flawlessly but now on my new SGS2 from virgin mobile I'm having trouble with the music mode and its a little slow ingeneral. I hope this gets an update to address it soon. Still an amazingly great app just a hiccup for SGS2 users

This app is great. It takes minimalism to a new level. It works great on my Galaxy Nexus. Not only is the app fantastic, the developer is quick to respond to questions, concerns, problems and comments. I highly recommend this app if you are looking for a lock screen with minimalist features. Great up an coming app and I am looking forward to seeing what the developer has up his sleeve for improvements!

Simple lock screen. Easy to set up. Sometimes takes a few swipes to unlock. Slow on that. It locked my phone completely up a couple times trying to swipe open. But still enjoy using it.

I had the free version and liked it a lot so I bought the pro only to find out that the email notifications are unpredictable. Sometimes I'll get one sometimes I won't. The gmail notification works the best, yahoo sucks. The preview is blank so I don't know who the email is from. Also sometimes it won't open the email at all and i have to look at the bar notifications. Defeats the purpose. Text notifications are fine. A little frustrating considering the app costs almost 3 bucks.

by Q####:

I love that notifications don't show the message.. just who they are from for better privacy. GREAT JOB!! After using it for a day... I do have a suggestion. Its a little too easy to turn on the music. Instead of a tap to start music.. how about a swipe across the top of screen? I had an embarrassing moment when I accidentally activated music today. :-)

And you have to press one icon to see a preview of your notification, really uncomfortable. The other things work fine.

I love this app! It's clean and simple - exactly what I wanted. What's even better, the developer is available to answer any questions and is open to suggestions for further improvements. Looking forward to future upgrades! Cheers for such great app.

Very basic app.

by Q####:

Even though its not pretty its really functional. But the unlock doesn't seem to like my bionic. Takes a few tries to unlock on most wake up. Uninstalling for now but hopping I can re install in the future with improved gesture.

Great app . ++++ can you add notification for kik messenger though. Lot of people us this app and it would be a great addition

O70%
by O####:

If you want a minimal lockscreen without clutter, this is a good option, but it isn't really a finished app and you still get the stock lockscreen right after you reboot. Doesn't always recognize your swipes.

Home button unlocks phone on Sat, CM10 4.1.2, sometimes two swipes are necessary but otherwise nice lock

Great bit of kit, picked up the Pro version just a few minutes after trying the free version. Developer is amazingly helpfull and sorted out a problem for me.

I heard about the app through a sub reddit and decided to try it out. My phone also serves as my primary source for music and the modified ability to control that from the lock screen is very convenient.
