Customize your lockscreen with Samsung’s Good Lock

Samsung has officially announced Good Lock, an app that enables Galaxy users to customize their smartphone’s appearance and functionality. This was initially available only for Galaxy S7. Today, Samsung in its blog post, announced its availability for Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy S6 Active and Galaxy Note 5.

With the Lockscreen Widget, you can see the information of your choice quickly without unlocking the screen. When you drag down the widget area (below the clock on the screen), you can see a list of widgets and set, edit or add to the list.

Something that many users will find useful is the ability to organize notifications from the lockscreen. You can save, categorize and get reminders about the notifications.

One impressive thing about Good Lock is that it is adaptable. It allows you to add routines. They are based on the time, location and network that change the available shortcuts and apps. This allows you to fill your App Tray with productivity-enabling apps during work hours, but switch to a Routine with entertainment-orientated apps in the evening—and pick color schemes that match your moods.

Another feature is the ability to see the recently used apps. This is called as Recents. This allows you to quickly scan through a list of recently used apps, and enjoy faster transition between your applications using the app icon.

The Good Lock is available to Galaxy users in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Korea. It is compatible with the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy S6 Active and Galaxy Note5 (running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS). Samsung will update Good Lock bi-weekly in response to user feedback.
