Lifesaving Lock Screen: Imagine your phone gets lost or something bad happens to you and a good Samaritan happens to pass by; with a majority of us putting security first, our phones are mostly locked with a password or pattern. So how will this good Samaritan, get in contact with someone who might know you when he or she cannot access your phone? It’s quite simple; you can add a recovery message on the lock screen on your phone, including additional phone number(s) to be contacted just in case something goes wrong.

  2. A Perfect Reminder: How many of us get to the shopping mall, eventually forgetting one little thing we were supposed to get?
