Review: Easy Lock – Slide up to unlock your phone

Posted: 12 Feb 2012 12:09 AM PST

Many of times, we need to keep our phone locked especially when we have it in our pockets or bag to avoid doing things that we dont want to do such as accidental calls. Indeed, the BlackBerry lock button are pretty handy in such instances but may not always be the best method as these are physical buttons that are still vulnerable to such incidents. Fortunately, Team Bulbera came up with this unique app to let us slide upwards to unlock our phone.

This application comes in 2 flavours, Lite and Pro. A quick glance at its features:

  1. Works directly with the native BlackBerry® lock button
  2. Automatically locks when your backlight goes off
  3. Unlock is as easy as swiping with your finger
  4. Zero initial configuration
  5. Starts automatically when your BlackBerry® is powered on and runs silently in the background. However, you can easily turn it off at any time.
  6. Works for non-touch screen devices as well (just use your trackpad)
  7. Configurable background. Use one of the backgrounds coming with the application or select a picture from your device memory / SD card.
  8. Configurable sound effects
  9. Customizable widgets: clock, notifications (new emails, SMS, BBM etc.), battery level and signal strength.
  10. Option to disable auto locking on certain applications (either native or third-party). Very convenient for browsers, maps, readers and others.
  11. Option to lock during phone calls

The difference between the FREE LITE and Pro edition is the presence of advertisement (and for now, the ability to set your own wallpaper for the lock screen – a feature they are planning to include in the FREE version in time).

Earlier on the 9 of February, we also had a giveaway contest for this wonderful app.

The application is compatible with devices running OS6 and above, including that of OS7 so, here I have 4 different devices running OS 7 and 7.1 to test out this application on. They include BlackBerry Curve 9360, Curve 9380, Bold 9790 and Bold 9900.

Take a look at the videos of the devices running the application below:

All in all, I must say I do love this app as it brings to us something distinctly unique and it is actually rather light at just 300+kb. Processing of the custom wallpaper was rather fast and easy when we are using the normal sized photos, but if we used large photos, it did take a little time to process (which can be expected).

With the Pro edition at just only US$0.99, this is a good application to have on your device and is available at:

For those who are seeking the Free version and do not mind the beautiful advertisement selected, do check it out:

Don’t forget, the competition to win one copy of the PRO license is still on right here! :)
