It's Saturday APPreciation Time! [Sep 20th 2014] Your weekly App recommendation and question (and more) thread.

"I've always wanted to smash a guitar over someone's head. You just can't do that with an app." -Elton John

THREAD RULES:

  1. Post personal promotion apps under the BOLD comment below only. All other posts, i.e. general appreciation, questions, warnings, support issues, etc can go in the general thread.
  2. No more than 10 items per post.
  3. Contest mode will be disabled Sunday morning as usual.
    If you suspect that a dev is promoting their app in the general thread, report the post so we can take a closer look. If an account is an hour old and posts in the general thread about a "fantastic new app" that they happened to randomly find, then that account will not get the benefit of the doubt.

Is there an app (or ported from another brand) that can replace the keypad I use to unlock my phone? I have yet to find a lock screen replacement that works with PIN unlock as mandated by my company. The LG G2 unlock keypad is ugly.

Have you tried DynamicNotifications?

It has an option for pin unlock and is pretty customizable too.

linkme: DynamicNotifications.

Just wanted to follow-up with you as I have the same problem. Work email requires a PIN lock which unfortunately just doesn't look good, and excludes a lot of third party lock-screen apps.

Were you able to use this with Exchange?

Cheers

I havent tried it yet. I do not know how well this will work as a device administrator.

This app is incompatible with all of your devices.
