Add some functionality to your device's lock screen with bLOC – 50 copies to be won!

By ObiGeorge on 5 Feb 2011 01:32 pm

Looking for an app to customize your lock screen? Well bLOC may just be the app your looking for. It adds a widget to your lock screen, making it tougher for your device to unlock accidentally and also making your lock screen a bit more funtional. You get your choice of 5 different widgets to use, including Weather Widget, Calendar Widget, Clock Widget, Gold Prices Widget, and Quote-of-the-Day Widget.

Overall bLOC is a very nice app, giving your device a nice look and a bit more functionality. You can pick up bLOC at the CrackBerry App Store for $2.99. Available for most devices running OS 5 and up.

Contest:We have 50 copies of bLOC to give away. Just leave a comment on this post to enter. Contest ends this Sunday at midnight PST. Please only leave one comment, multiple entries wont count.

More information and download of bLOC

Count me in for a chance to win! BbLoc seems like an awesome app! I like the idea of added functionality to the lock screen! We all know most of us wish for more options in that dept! Thanks to these Dev's for making it happen! Good Luck to all the CrackBerry users (and abusers!).
