It always has me as out,even when I indicate I'm at work or home, it always changes to out. It's also limiting/not allowing me to put whatever apps I want on the cover. Fix these issues, and I'll change to 5 stars

and can't hold onto apps or location. Still like it, but thats what happens when development stops

Z70%
by Z####:

Sometimes it works with no problems but most of the time I'm at home always and having to manually switch from "out." The music controls don't always work - I have to turn it off/on to get it to work for a brief period. Also, for whatever reason I'll unlock the screen to be taken to G+... I mainly keep the app because it really is convenient.

This app is a great idea and worked really well until I upgraded to 5.0 (Lollipop). Now whenever swipe on cover, the built in lock screen opens and I have to dismiss that before I can get to my apps. For your devs. I am using an LG G3 (LG-D851) on 5.0.1. I will update to 5 stars again when this is fixed

Doesn't work well after upgrading to lollipop. The side bar doesn't get updated to recent used apps like before. It gets stuck with a few default ones. And notifications don't automatically open in the app now, not as smooth as when in KitKat.. Developer plz take a look into it. Else I love this app..

C70%
by C####:

Just what I had wanted--shortcuts to my favorite apps from my lock screen...and without too much strain on my battery or RAM. Keep up the good work! To help the app along, I suggest hiding any apps you would never want shortcuts to...have had it less than a day and all my favorite apps are already there.

Z70%
by Z####:

I like this lockscreen a lot. Clean, practical, easy to use. The only one drawback that I really really wish they would change would be the ability for the user to personally select the icons that you want to start with rather than the program "figuring it out" after many uses. That for me was a deal breaker. This is beta however. If they put that option in, I'll likely go back to using it. oh, also Lollipop doesn't support the music widget on the lock screen you've gotta be using 4.4. surely they will fix that. I hope they do because I really do like this lockscreen and would use it if those two things were fixed.

I have beem usong this for over a year and a half..... Bit its gotten worse over the past months. It NEVER changes back to the home setting automaticly. Even even i set my wifi zones. And it does add random wifis the "home" settings..... And i cand get into the FAQ because it says im not signed in or no account kinda message. Bit there is no way to sign in to any sprt of account..... Will change to 5 stars AS SOON AS FIXED love you guys.... I hate to be the dbag that lowers a rating

... I hate that I can't control music on my lockscreen like I can with the stock Lollipop lock screen. That the only reason I don't use Cover anymore. (Awesome tutorial when installing by the way, kudos to whoever built that).

I'd like to see a weather widget kind of thing on the lock screen, right under the clock. That would rock.

Been using it for a while on my phone so wanted to use it on my tablet. Unfortunately it does not show some of the apps I want to be able to open from lock screen and worse: it refuses to work in landscape mode. Definite de-install for tablet.

Great lock screen. Definitely the best one I've ever had. Only problem is, I wish you could set a password with the app itself and not through your phones security. Going through 2 lock screens is a hassle.

This app is great, I've only had it for less than twelve hours and it does everything it says. It has already learned what I ask for and is showing everything spectacularly. My only complaint is that it does not quite work with Active Display.

by C####:

Warning don't bother with this lock screen if you want security on your phone. The app is no longer updated and is buggy on Android 5.02+ such a shame, I got an Android phone just for this app.

The only proper way to implement this is by location's "shape". When I'm in my building going up on in the elevator, I'm already home; app still says out. Even when I get home I'm still out. When i get to work, my building in Manhattan takes out the whole block, so I'm still in the building which is at "work" and I'm not home. Second issue is that "home", "out", "work" seems to be randomly changing. When i'm at work and my phone on vibrate, all of a sudden I get a phone call with full volume. App changed it

Doesn't recognize my home location and, even though I drop them, keeps showing me apps I don't use, like the stock sms app.

A70%
by A####:

I've been using it all day, and, for the most part, I like it. My main problems are 1) it only partially pays attention to the apps I have hidden. Several of them still show up on the lockscreen and 2) I cannot drop the apps I don't want on the screen. I have several apps that I have hidden that are showing up, yet when I try to drop them, instead of removing them from the cover screen, like most others, these several ones just drop to the bottom of the list of widgets on the lock screen and finally 3) at seemingly random intervals, the 6th widget (last one on the first "page" of widgets on the lockscreen) will just switch around with something else. I've read that in some of the reviews, some people have been mentioning a drain on the battery. I have a Nexus 6 and haven't noticed any yet. Though, I have only been using it for a day, so I'll keep checking on that. If it causes a significant drain, given the other problems, I won't be keeping it.

Great for people who don't want to sit there and customize their app. Unfortunately, I do. So I really wish I could tell it exactly which shortcuts to make available in which situation, and activate home, work and car modes manually.

C70%
by C####:

Without rotation, while nice looking and handy otherwise, is useless thirty percent of the time. it could also do with wallpaper changing to reflect the music app playing in fullscreen, rather than just a little widget looking thing.

been using it about 2 weeks now and so far it does everything says it will it keeps showing the apps i use the most at home when i am there and when i am out it show them ..it does lag sometimes and so far it has crashed 2 times ..but considering it runs perfect 90% of the time i can live with that keep up the nice work

The lock screen runs flawlesy, and I love that you can rank the apps you want to appear on it. One suggestion though. Theres a screen for when youre home, driving, out, at work, so on. You should be able to create more, custom ones. Like when im at church or my ladys house. Just little details like that would be rad.

The only problem with this app is battery. I need to have my phone battery the whole day. It consumes a lot of battery life. The user interface is perfect. Uninstalling for now, will love to download it again if the developers do something to reduce the battery consumption.

I know its in beta. But you need the option to make it the default lockscreen. Mine keeps going back to stock. Other then that its absolutely perfect very minimalistic. Please add the default option so I can rate 5 stars.

I wish there was an easy way to choose what apps you want on each lock screen type. For car mode I wanted Spotify there, but to do that I had to drop one of the apps for 10 minutes until Spotify popped up as an option. Other than that, the app is amazing.

If this app could add a pin lock protection when the 'out' lock screen was in use I would give 5 stars!!! If the car on Bluetooth feature worked at all this app would get 4 stars. I use this lock screen on and off. It's pretty cool though. This would be my favorite and I would always use it and share with friends if those worked. There's also a huge lag in music controls from lock screen.

I like how your most used apps are so easy to get to from the lock screen. I also like the location based settings. I tried some other things but came back to cover because it does the job I need it to do well.

Great lock screen app! Learns my most used apps and has them ready to go! Couldn't be happier!!

I'm really diggin this app even got my wife on it but the only problem I'm having that is actually starting to become a frustration is when it unlocks on its own while in my pocket and starts up an app like Spotify and starts playing some random music. Please fix this. This is the most impressive lock screen app I've found.

by Y####:

Very easy to use and really comes in handy. The only thing that I don't like is that apps take long to start up if you pick then from the drop down menu.

I really like the work you guys did on this! Just posting because I noticed an issue with lollipop that I can't access apps from my standard notifications menu now, like if I try to access something from the menu it can't get through the cover app to display it

Fix stability issues and you get five stars. Great work guys!

I70%

Good idea but utterly incompatible with today's ginormous screens. Arranging the icons along the left side ensures that 2 hand operation is required precisely at the time when one handed use is most needed. Gestures should be from the bottom up not the top down. Who has fingers long enough to reach the top of the screen? IPhone 4 users maybe?

Y70%
by Y####:

The app is great however they need to develop their own security feature so that I can completely disable the lock screen on my Note 4. Right now i have to swipe to unlock and then put in my code for my phone. Too much wok.

Cover doesn't know/recognize another user/account on the same tablet. There should be a way to customize the apps for each location or a setting to make the change not based on location but time of day. Excellent concept, but still needs work... in beta so...

C70%
by C####:

App is awesome and works great, only reason I'm taking off one star is because I've noticed a significant drop in my battery life since installing. Battery used to last me all day at work and I'd go home with 15-20%,however now I'm lucky to go home with 10%

by Y####:

I loved the app and the concept, but it kept on crashing every 5 minutes or so making it unusable. No idea if its a software conflict with something from Samsung or a hardware incompatability.
