Cover is a unique and innovative lockscreen created by some ex-Googlers that wants to change how we access apps from our lockscreen. We have actually covered the app a couple weeks ago when it first surfaced, but I finally got a hold of it and have been running it for about 2 weeks.
This app is pretty awesome guys. I love the look of it, the way it handles, and the UI of the whole thing. What cover will do over time is figure out which apps you use the most when you are at home, work, on the road, or just out. You can customize those four lockscreens by inputing addresses or wireless networks, then you can always change the wallpaper to either the wallpaper they provide for you, or one from your gallery. On the home lockscreen, you get two different settings, a night and a day setting. You then hold down which ever app you want to open then swipe to the right. It then gives you a layered effect when you open the app. Of course, it is simply just a shnazzy way to open apps, because in the demo video they make seem like the is just there once you touch the icon and swipe, but it really just opens it up. Sometimes once you swipe the lockscreen away, you will still have to wait for the app to load.
If that wasn’t enough for this app, you can always swipe up to access other apps you use frequently. Nice little added bonus for users, and if you rotate your phone to landscape, then Cover will bring up a camera icon so you can easily access your camera without opening your phone. That little feature is super convenient. They also added a special sidebar for multitasking, so if you touch the top-right side of your screen, your most used apps will pop up for quick access.
Right now, Cover isn’t available in the Play Store. You have to head over to their site and submit your email to get an invite. There is still some work to Cover that is needed, but I am pretty satisfied by it. So head over to their site to submit your email. If you have already have had access to the app, let us know how much you like it
