18 Months In: An overview of some great features within LockScreenIt

It has been 18 months since Apple approved LockScreenIt® for the App Store. From that point, we have been focused on adding functionality that has come as a result of user feedback, our own use of the app, and some random ideas that have come to life on the whiteboard. Creating LockScreenIt has been nothing but awesome. After 13 releases with a growing user base, we are excited to share that we have started on the development of version 2.5 this week!

Shared Reminders with Notifications and Messaging.

iOS notifications are a big part of shared reminders. They help to notify your friends when you have sent them a new reminder, or when you have updated an existing one. But that doesn’t necessarily complete the loop to let you know that they are Ok with that reminder, or if they would like you to change the time, or any of the other information that you included. As of LockScreenIt 2.2, reminders now have an optional Discussion/Message Thread.

FAQs

A: With the introduction of iOS 10, LockScreenIt provides an easy way for you to send any type of reminder to your locked iOS device, eliminating the need to unlock your phone or tablet, and then open multiple apps.

In this example, you can see a reminder that holds Laura's boarding pass for her upcoming flight.
 
A: LockScreenIt has an iOS 10+ lock screen "widget" that accompanies the app. This unique lock screen widget allows users to see details regarding anywhere from 1 to 5 active reminder items, all while their device is locked! On top of textual reminder types with descriptions, and notes, and optional checklists, reminders can also include cropped screenshots of anything at all, either from a user's photo library or live from their camera. For example, airline boarding passes! Frequent travelers can avoid anxiety and stress by avoiding interruptions in Internet connectivity, or other common problems. See Laura's use of LockScreenIt in the LockScreenIt (for frequent travelers) video on YouTube

  • Scroll all the way to the bottom. Here you will see an "Edit" button.
