Choose which image appears on Windows Phone Lock Screen

Even though Windows Phone allows you select pictures from your library, there is no control to skip some images. So now if you have images which is just not suitable for work or very private, you are helpless. It just randomly selects any image and sets as your lock screen.

Paper Shuffle for Windows Phone just brings this privacy feature to Windows Phone. It not only allows you to choose which image should show up on lock screen but also lets you mark images private so they never show up when you are at work.

How does it work ?

It allows you to handpick individual images or bulk import all images from the native albums i.e. Camera Roll, Screenshot etc. While individual images are resized by you, when importing an album, it automates the job. You get to see the preview as each image is processed.

Once you have the images in the app, you can mark them private. Good thing is that you can do that individually or in bulk. The private images can be scheduled not to show up at work time. This schedule can be set according to time and days of the week.

What if you want only private image to show up when you are not at work ? Glad the developer thought about it too!! The app has an option for that too.

Note: The app does not delete images from your Native Albums. It just creates a copy. So expect a bit of occupied space to be increase.

Other Features:

Manually select an image for lock screen.
Force Shuffle Now
Live Tile support to display current lock image and schedule time.
Private image can be seen in a separate section. When you are in All Photos View, you can see them marked as red.
Tag & Untag private images in bulk.
Bulk Delete Images.

What is missing ?

The App does not import images from Skydrive or Facebook Albums. It just interacts with native albums.

All the images imported are placed in one place. You cannot create sub albums (Guess, I ask too much).
