Some of our readers will remember the SmartScreen iPhone App that we featured back in September. We just got an email from the developers, and the good news is that the app is now available from Cydia.
The SmartScreen iPhone App lets you program your own widgets and place them on the lock screen of your iPhone. It will only work on jailbroken iPhones. Check out the video of it in action below.
Features and Customization
SmartScreen is an application for the iPhone and iPod touch that allows informational widgets to be placed and used on the lock screen. Widgets are similar to those offered by Apple’s “Dashboard” and they follow this familiar look and feel. The app provides a variety of widgets, including weather updates, calendar events, and quick access to your favorite apps. This level of customization can significantly enhance the user experience by providing quick access to essential information without unlocking the device.
One of the standout features of SmartScreen is its ability to support third-party widgets. This means developers can create their own widgets, adding to the app’s versatility and functionality. For example, you could have a widget that shows your latest emails, social media updates, or even a to-do list. The possibilities are endless, and this makes SmartScreen a powerful tool for those who want to maximize their iPhone’s capabilities.
Availability and Compatibility
The SmartScreen iPhone App is now available in two versions from Cydia from http://apt.media-phone.ch/. There is SmartScreen Lite, which is available as a free download, and a full version which is available for $5.00. The Lite version offers basic functionality, allowing users to get a taste of what the app can do. However, for those who want to unlock the full potential of SmartScreen, the full version is well worth the investment.
In order to use the SmartScreen iPhone App, you will need a jailbroken iPhone running iPhone OS 3.0 or later. Jailbreaking your iPhone allows you to install apps and tweaks that are not available through the official App Store. While jailbreaking can void your warranty and has some risks, many users find the added functionality and customization options to be worth it.
In conclusion, SmartScreen is a highly versatile and customizable app that can significantly enhance the functionality of your iPhone’s lock screen. Whether you opt for the free Lite version or the full version, you’ll find that SmartScreen offers a range of features that can make your daily interactions with your iPhone more efficient and enjoyable. If you have a jailbroken iPhone, this app is definitely worth checking out.
