Add Widgets to Lock Screen in Windows Phone with Lockmix

On Windows Phone, you can customize the lock screen, but only to an extend and you cannot add more than one app information. But if you are looking for a widget type of experience on lock screen similar to Android, then you should be trying out the new app Lockmix. Lockmix is a lock screen content provider application that offers a great variety of widgets to be pinned to your lock screen in a way similar to the start screen tiles. It turns your lock screen into a grid where you can pin multiple tiles, which are then updated regularly to display various information. The application comes with quite a lot of widget support and you can select them and add to lock screen.

Each widget can be independently moved around, resized or configured just like the tiles pinned to your start screen, so you have the option to arrange them as per your liking. The app has widgets in many categories like backgrounds, weather, news, calendar, appointments etc. There are also several widgets which can be unlocked with an in-app purchase.

As background, you can choose Bing image of the day, solid color fill, custom image, or a collection of custom images that are rotated or shuffled regularly. The app works pretty well and you have a good collection of widgets to start with. The app looks promising and we expect more widgets to be added going forward.

If you want to have more content in the lock screen, this app is definitely worth a try. You can download it free from the Windows Phone Store.
