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.

I really need this app, because every time I take my Torch out of my pocket... there's almost always an app that started, by accident. My Torch has been my favorite Blackberry by far (I've had about 10 others so far), but the lock feature is a major weakness.

Thanks Crackberry for doing an amazing job at bringing us to speed with the new apps, phones, accessories and news. Keep up the great work.

alpo73 Feb 6, 2011 at 10:42 am

I would like to try this app. Looks like a winner.

pinkthumb Feb 6, 2011 at 10:51 am

bLOC it like it's hot! This is a great app! The weather widget would be great right now with this crazy winter weather. I'll have to tell my coworkers about this app. Thanks!
