Android app "Cover (beta)" - What can it do?
The Android app "Cover Lock Screen (beta)" is already causing a stir in its beta version. Find out what makes the app so special in this practical tip.
The "Cover" app knows what you need
In the office the calendar, at home the favorite game and in the car the navigation app: Often you need completely different applications, depending on where you are. The "Cover Lock Screen (beta)" app adapts your lockscreen to the location where you are.
- The app uses Bluetooth and the motion sensor to determine where you are.
- In the settings, you then determine which apps are displayed at which location on your lockscreen and are within easy reach. For example, a calendar app for the office, Gmail or note-taking apps like Evernote.
- The app is also capable of learning: If you use a music app particularly often in the office, it will also be displayed on the lockscreen.
- The Android app still has a lot of potential. If your smartphone detects where you are, not only the lockscreen could adapt in the future. Features such as a different playlist, the volume or changing the Google account could also be possible.
- The app is still in a development phase. You have to expect smaller bugs, but the "Cover Lock Screen (beta)" works very well.
