Now you can keep up-to-date on your favorite promotional offers from programs like Groupon, Saveology, and TIPPR in real time without fumbling through your phone to unlock the screen, find the app, launch it, and then get the updates. The Smart Lock Screen app (patent pending) from 5plus2 Apps displays this content directly on your Android phone lock screen. You can choose from programs like Groupon, Saveology, TIPPR, Moolala, and this list will keep growing. The app allows you to customize how long your lock screen displays deals before it goes to sleep, how fast it displays deals, and the location of the deals you want to see. You can set a password to make your lock screen more secure or just use the regular slide bar to unlock the screen.

If a deal grabs your attention, you can tap the screen to take you to a page with more details, and you can buy the deal directly from the phone using your existing login that you created when you signed up with the program. No worries, you’ll have to unlock the screen before you get to the details page because after all, it is a lock screen, and it doesn’t skimp on security.

The Smart Lock Screen app is free. All you have to do is download it, install, and start using it. Smart Lock Screen is a patent pending application so you won’t be able to get this capability anywhere else.
