As-Salamu Alaikum, good evening, friends of the r/Islam, I hope everyone is in the great peace of Allah. I am a student of the religion of Islam, but in my heart I feel very chaste when I am in a mosque, when I am studying and when I can, in my efforts, study Islam and read the Holy Quran. In the days that I began my studies, I believe that certain things began to appear as key events in my life, small incidents that occurred and had to do with the things I studied, may be only a simple rationalization but at the moment they occurred, I I felt with a strength beyond what I have felt in all my life. Friends, sorry if I sound outrageous, I have not yet studied and I have no total contact with the prayers, the supplications, the du'a, but I ask, if possible, at some point in your day, plead for God to give me strength, I'm tired, I'm sick, I'm going to be sick for a week, I can not take more pain in the abdomen of coughing, I'll go to the doctor tomorrow again and I know that everything will be fine in the end, maybe I should take some antibiotic the doctor might prescribe, but I want to be better soon. I ask, if possible and not an offense, this help. Forgive English from Google Translator hahahah I'm doing everything in a hurry, I'm getting some work done from my college and also from my personal life. Thank you all.

I find it simply amazing that we can sit here, browsing reddit one day, and another elsewhere in the world exploring and another working a day job.

Life is so full of surprises. Just ponder that for a moment.

Each day is unique, yet if our imaan is strong enough - we know this is all a living dream. Nothing is forever.

It really makes you appreciate how much Allah loves you.

He has GIVEN and GIFTED you this life. He has given you things like food, entertainment, shelter, warmth, sex, love, attachment, children and most of all an able body.

It’s a really simple thing to overlook and honestly...makes you realise why Allah calls most of humanity ingrates.

Allah SWT loves everyone, our prophet also loved everyone.

Let’s take a step back. Let’s go back to a simpler time. Let’s stop fighting and arguing.

One of the most amazing things about our beautiful Prophet SAWS is how care-free and relaxed he was. Never did he worry except for his ummah. He spent life knowing it was but temporary.

May Allah bless us all. Salaam.

Got a minute? Then you should check out Minit — a quirky puzzle adventure game that is now available on Google Play and the App Store.

Published by Devolver Digital, this top down Zelda-inspired indie hit was first released for PC and Xbox One and has been nominated for multiple awards since. Its minimalist 8-bit art style and innovative mechanics will quickly draw you in and challenge you. Minit doesn’t hold your hand or explain too much — you have to figure it out on your own. But as usual we are here to help! Without spoiling too much or giving you a full walkthrough, here are our Minit tips and tricks!


Minit tips: The basics

As you might have suspected from the name Minit, the game is played in 60-second intervals. This imbues Minit with a sense of urgency at first, but any progress you’ve made — puzzles solved or items collected, will remain as such. This gives you some time to explore your surroundings without rushing too much, especially in your initial playthrough. The only exception are enemies, which will respawn every cycle.

Minit gameplay Android

Dying itself is a mechanic, however. If you don’t have time to go to your next location after finding an important item, you can press the reset button. You will then respawn at your house. There are three other checkpoints or houses you will find along your way, which will make navigating the map easier, but we won’t reveal their locations! Trail and error is the name of the game, which is fitting — it harkens to the days of NES and Gameboy games, just like the pixelated aesthetic of Minit.

Trial and error is the name of the game!

In terms of combat, the game is pretty standard — you start with two hearts and each hit will cost you one. Don’t slash at residents though! They will remember your misdeeds.


Where to find key items in Minit

The joy of Minit is discovering the secrets of the world yourself. This is why we will only point you to the first key items that will get you started on your journey without giving away too much.

Cursed sword

As we previously mentioned, the whole adventure begins with finding the sword. To do so, exit your house and head south. You will stumble upon two crabs. Carefully avoid them and continue west. You will see the sword next to a riverbank. Picking it up will start the sixty second timer. Of course, it can also be used as a weapon and to cut down bushes that are in your way.

Minit cursed sword location

Coffee

How do you move boxes? All you need is some coffee apparently. To get this reward, return to the crabs and defeat them with your newly acquired sword. Cut down the bushes west of your house and walk though. There you’ll find a bar with residents complaining about the all the crabs infesting the place. Head north from the bar, where you will encounter three more of them. Kill these crabs too and return to the bar for your reward! Make sure you’ve killed all five in the same cycle, otherwise you will not receive the coffee. Enemies respawn!

Minit coffee

Lighthouse key

Got that sweet coffee? Now it’s time to acquire the lighthouse key. From the bar, head back north to where you killed the last three crabs, then go east. You will be able to see the key in a cavern. Move the boxes with your newly acquired caffeine powers and cut the bushes down to grab it!

Minit watering can next to base

The watering can will appear to the left of your house.

From there, you need to find the lighthouse and piece the rest of the puzzles on your own! We do have one last tip though: most items will stay in your inventory between cycles. The only exception is the Watering can which will appear next to your spawn location. If you want to carry it around, you will have to swap your sword for it.


Coin locations

Got the puzzles all figured out already? If you are completionist or a treasure hoarder, it’s time to grab the collectibles for some sweet achievements. We don’t recommend going on this treasure hunt on your first or even second run, however. You need a good knowledge of the map, as well as item locations.

Here are all 19 Minit coin locations:

  • Coin 1 — Found in the house you first spawn in. Just break the pot after acquiring the sword.
  • Coin 2 — Go into the snake pit, then find the illusory wall at the top left of the maze. Walk through it and keep going left until you see another room with a chest and snake inside. Move up and down until you can walk into the room. Kill the snake and grab your coin!
  • Coin 3 — Hidden beneath the desert quicksand. You will recognize the area thanks to the slowing effect it has on your walking speed. Let yourself sink. Once you fall through you, head down to find the chest that contains the coin. The area is littered with scorpions, so be careful!
  • Coin 4 — Inside the big dumpster near the Sneaker Hut. We are not sure why someone would throw out a valuable item there, but just hit the dumpster with your sword and the coin will fall out.
  • Coin 5 — The Sneaker Hut is full of secrets! Find and hit the cracked wall near it and follow the secret tunnel. You will have to move some boxes and break some pots, which will clear the way to a chest containing the coin.
Minit Sneaker Hut

Don’t read the signs? This is the Sneaker Hut.

  • Coin 6 — North of the Sneaker Hut, you will find a sign that points you to east towards the Desert Ruins. Keep heading east until you stumble upon a broken truck. There will be another chest surrounded by scorpions with a coin inside!
  • Coin 7 — You will need the Watering can for this coin, so make sure you have it equipped. Go to the Secret Temple and use it on the fire blocking the entrance to the eastern tunnel. Once you walk in, you will find yourself in a room that’s ablaze and full of unfriendly bats. Scurry across, watering the fire to make your way through. Make sure you don’t take any damage! Once you pass through the deadly area, head north. The corridor will lead you to the chest containing the coin.
  • Coin 8 — On the northeast side of the Hotel, walk around and press down until you enter a room. Push the box out of the way to get to the pot. Break it and you will find your next coin inside.
  • Coin 9 — This one is a bit trickier and crueler than most. North of the Hotel kill the leafy-haired bandits three times in a row. You will hear a musical cue each time you do this. After you’ve cleared them the third time, kill the hotel guest that was being attacked. He will drop the coin.

Minit land loving fish

  • Coin 10 — This coin is located near the land-loving fish next to the bar. Swim to the area northwest of him and just follow the path to find the chest containing the coin.
  • Coin 11 —  To the right of the bar, break the suspicious pot placed near a stone wall by hitting it three times with your sword. It will reveal a staircase. Go down. You will find yourself in a maze full of bats. Kill them without taking damage to open the door leading you to the next area. You will hear a sound when it opens. Go north, then down the waterfall to find your chest and coin.
  • Coin 12 — Do the exact same things you did to find the previous coin, but instead of going down the waterfall, exit through the staircase above it. You will find yourself on an island with a chest. To no one’s surprise, there is a coin inside.
  • Coin 13 — From the lighthouse bridge, head into the water past the big rock, heading west, then south. You will discover an island with a palm tree and a treasure chest. You know the drill.
Minit lighthouse

Don’t stop for a chat when looking for coins!

  • Coin 14 — Flippers get you all the treasure! With their help, travel up the waterfall to the right of your first spawn house. You will find a secret cave containing a treasure chest with a coin inside.
  • Coin 15 — Sometimes you need to complain to get that coin! Go to the Sword Factory then head south to a room full of characters. Stand in line and wait until a pot near you combusts and reveals the next coin.
  • Coin 16 — Since you are near the Sword Factory already, head to the parking lot behind the warehouse. There should be two trucks there. Walk into the bigger one to find your coin.
  • Coin 17 — You will need the Grinder item for this treasure. Head inside the mines under the factory and go east. You will find a character who says he’s striking. Next to him is a lantern and a box. Break the lantern then push the box out of the way and go south. Move along the conveyor belts to a small area with a treasure chest and a talking tree.
Minit finding a coin

The order in which you find the coins doesn’t matter.

  • Coin 18 — In the southern part of the sword factory, you will find a large drill held in place by two robotic arms. Hit them with your sword and let the drill wreak havoc. This will open up a shortcut to the desert, but there’s also a coin hidden in the wall.
  • Coin 19 — We’ve saved the worst for last! For this coin you must start in every checkpoint or house, run to the Secret Temple, head north, slash the bushes away and die in the room with the skull door until it opens. All that’s left to do after is follow the corridor to find your coin in a treasure chest. It’s a lengthy process, but hey – it’s still easier than getting the Stanley Parable Go Outside achievement (without cheating)!

That’s it for our Minit tips and tricks. We hope we helped you on your journey! Where you able to find each of the coin locations? Let us know in the comments.

I love the Hanafi madhab,I love following it, and in general I think the Hanafi madhab has the strongest evidence on most issues.

It makes so much sense in so many areas.

For example: things like Raf al Yadayn, Hanafi stance clearly has the best evidence for this and is the correct opinion though other madhabs and the salafi's opinions are valid but wrong

But I just can't wrap my mind around why praying asr is different from all other madhabs. In this case, I believe Hanafi madhab is wrong and I do pray asr with all the other madhabs.

I was just wondering, does this take me out of the fold of Hanafi?

Assalamu Alaikum brothers and sisters,

I think it’s very important as Muslims that we understand and know where the stuff we purchase comes from. Many Westerners pat themselves on the back thinking their is no slavery anymore when the reality is in the West and Gulf our lifestyles and products are maintained and made through slavery. It’s just out of sight and out of mind because it is outsourced to third world countries. Very popular brands I know Muslims wear all the time such I as Nike, H&M, and Victoria Secret actually have horrible labor conditions and sweat shops, have a horrible impact on the environment, and have a very bad record of animal welfare.

Practical tips? Research the brands and corporations you like and choose what you spend your money on wisely. If you are too lazy there are verified websites like Good On You that do the research for you. They also have apps.

If you’re some type of influencer however big or small do not accept sponsorships from such companies that you wouldn’t and shouldn’t be consuming from. Don’t encourage other Muslim influencers.

Of course I’m not saying this will make a difference to stop oppression but from a spiritual and Islamic perspective this is highly encouraged if not a must. Insha Allah we make this a lifestyle where we care about every aspect of what we consume throughout its journey from the beginning of its creation t to the moment it’s in our hands.

”O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted. {4:135}

Harvard Law School, one of the most prestigious institutions of its kind in the world, has posted a verse of the Holy Quraan at the entrance of its faculty library, describing the verse as one of the greatest expressions of justice in history.

Verse 135 of Surah Al Nisa (The Women) has been posted at a wall facing the faculty’s main entrance, dedicated to the best phrases articulating justice

According to a Saudi daily, a Saudi student who studies at Harvard first highlighted the development when he published a picture of the display on his Twitter page.

“I noticed that the verse was posted by the faculty of law, which described it as one of the greatest expressions for justice in history,” Abdullah Jumma said.

best car rental apps featured
Renting a car has changed very little over the last couple of decades. You walk in, show your information, pay some money, and walk out with the keys to a car. Even today, the process isn’t much different. However, you can now use apps to locate car rental places and many companies have apps that help expedite the process. Travelers and vacationers rent cars frequently. It’s better when you can just get it over with quickly. Here are the best car rental apps for Android.


Carngo

Price: Free / Varies

Carngo is a smaller app but it has a lot of good things going for it. It works with Alamo, AVIS, Hertz, National, Payless, Ace, SIXT, Enterprise, Europcar and more. That makes it a fairly competent middle man for car rentals. The app is easy to work with and use. You book your car, pick it up when applicable, and drop it off when you’re done. The prices are fairly run-of-the-mill and there isn’t all that many surprises. It’s not everyday that we see an app this smooth in this space. You may want to shop around still, but we found the app quite pleasant to use. The Google Play description and the website have a list of countries and airports where this app actually works. We appreciate knowing for sure and not needing to guess.

Carngo - best car rental apps


Enterprise

Price: Free / Varies

Enterprise is one of the biggest names in car rental apps. Or really in car rental in general. The app does a pretty decent job as well. You can check out what cars Enterprise has available at the locations near you. You can also schedule a reservation, manage your account, and manage your rentals. Enterprise does have international support. You can use pretty much anywhere they have a location. The app is free to download. As you may imagine, rentals will cost money.

Enterprise - best car rental apps for android


Expedia

Price: Free / Varies

Expedia is one of a few all-in-one solutions for car rental apps. This one covers car rentals along with airplane flights and hotels. You can use an app like this to find bundles on things like rooms, flights, and car rentals to save yourself a few bucks. Additionally, the app has discovery features in case you’re going to a city that you don’t know. We wouldn’t recommend such an app for someone who needs just a car a rental. However, it’s a good solution for those planning a vacation or a business trip somewhere.

Expedia - best car rental apps for android


KAYAK

Price: Free / Varies

KAYAK is another all-in-one solution for car rental apps. A lot of the same stuff applies here as it did with Expedia. You can plan an entire trip through this app. That includes the plane flight, the hotel, and the car rental. It can do some other things as well. This one boasts mobile-only deals, a trip organizer, step-by-step instructions for airport navigation, and countdown timers to keep track of your travel plans. Those who need just a car rental may find this app too bloated for their needs. However, it’s a good app to plan a whole trip, even the car rental.

Kayak - best car rental apps for android


Priceline

Price: Free / Varies

Priceline is one of the more popular travel apps. It works similarly to the others on this list. You can book hotels, plane flights, and car rentals with this one. It also offers travel deals, bundles, and mobile deals. That means it could save you a few bucks. Like most, this one should work worldwide. It has its fair share of issues. However, most of them don’t affect your usage much. Again, those who need one of the more basic car rental apps may need something less complicated than this.

Priceline - best car rental apps for android



Orbitz

Price: Free / Varies

People know Orbitz for their clever marketing campaigns. Thankfully, their app is actually pretty decent. Like most all-in-one apps, it lets you book most things. That includes hotels, car rentals, plane tickets, and even some activities. They also boast a variety of travel tools to help make things easier. It has a few issues here and there like most big name companies in this space. However, it should work most of the time. You can use this as a car rental app alone if needed.


Rentalcars.com Car Rental App

Price: Free / Varies

Rentalcars.com is one of the most popular car rental apps available. They source most popular car rental services. That includes Hertz, Avis, Alamo, Budget, Enterprise, and several others. It also boasts 49,000 locations worldwide, prices in 91 currencies, and support for 40 languages. You can find a rental car pretty much anywhere you go. The process is relatively painless, but not perfect. It’s the one we’d recommend first since it does source most of the other services and its app is better than most of theirs.

rentalcars - best car rental apps for android


Skyscanner

Price: Free / Varies

Skyscanner actually boasts itself as an all-in-one travel app. It can do the usual stuff. That includes car rentals, booking flights, and booking hotels. It also includes price drop alerts, 30,000 car rental locations worldwide, and it should save your recent searches. The app itself is the cleanest, best looking one on the list. Some parts of the app could use a little more finesse. However, it generally works pretty well. Like all of the other all-in-one apps, we’d recommend checking out a more specific app if you’re just looking for car rentals.


Turo

Price: Free / Varies

Turo is one of the most unique car rental apps. It sources cars from everyday normal people instead of from a company. It’s kind of like Airbnb for cars. The idea is that you rent a car from an individual. They bring you the car, you pay them to use it for a few days, and then go on your way. The app is still newer, comparatively speaking. However, it is coming along nicely compared to its early days. It’s also only available in the US, UK, Germany, and Canada right now. However, we’d like to see something like this grow more.

Turo - best car rental apps


Uber, Lyft, etc

Price: Varies

The car rental process hasn’t changed in any significant way in a very long time. However, transportation has changed quite a bit. Taxi apps like Uber, Lyft, and local taxi services have come a long way and, in some cases, it’s actually easier and cheaper than renting a car. Of course, we only recommend this for instances where you don’t plan on driving very often. Plus, these services are actually decent at showing up on time, getting you to where you need to go, and it’s reasonably inexpensive as long as you don’t expect to drive around for several hours. There’s a use case where car rentals are a smarter option. However, if you only plan on staying for a day or two and you don’t need to drive a lot, Uber and Lyft may be a cheaper option.

I guess I’m just stupid because I can’t understand the sources I’ve been reading about how to do it. No one in my family prays so I can’t ask them.

There are two mistakes I usually make if I do make a mistake: forgetting the number of rakaat I’ve prayed without any clue as to how many I actually prayed, resulting in me either praying an extra rakaa or not. The other is doing something before it’s proper time, like accidentally sending peace and blessings on the Prophet SAWS in the second rakaa, realizing my mistake, and stopping midway (like I might say “allahuma salli ala...” and then stop myself because I remember).

What do I do in these cases? Do I make up the prayer? If not, how do I pray the rakaatain of forgetfulness? Please don’t just link to islamqa or something because I’ve read it and I still don’t understand what I’m supposed to do. Ie, do I pray them after the tasleems, as if I was praying a new prayer, or do I pray them before the tasleems?

I thought it was a concentration problem but it’s really not—in fact if I concentrate more I get too caught up in it and might make more mistakes.

Asalamalaikum brothers and sisters,

Disclaimer: I apologize if this question is not allowed or if you find it too outrageous.

My eldest brother who has always been a devout Muslim, often reminding me to pray, preaching to fast, asking my parents to find him an educated, devout Muslim girl for marriage did a 180 as a person in the last few years.

Back in 2013 he became smitten with a girl, from the moment I saw her she gave me a bad vibe. Besides the fact that she was literally the exact opposite of what he always spoke of wanting in a spouse, being near her always gave me a cold soulless vibe. If you look at her eyes it just felt cold and made my skin crawl. She did not have friends and was very manipulative towards people.

My family begged him to stop seeing her but he protested and left the family to live with her which brought great pain to my parents. In the time he spent with her he renounced Islam, he became very disrespectful towards my entire extended family, cut out all his friends.

He gave up all his interests and basically his personality became her personality. Her interests became his interests and nothing else. It was as if he was possessed or something. He works a high paying job but every penny goes to jewelry for her, high end restaurants and big UberEats orders, and lots of alcohol as I know she is a big drinker. (His bank statements had been mailed to the house until my dad confronted him). It was as if he now lived and worked to just give her things as she did not work. Ontop of that she spent his money to get breast implants, lip injections, and glute implants. All to show off in scantily clad photos on Facebook. He says nothing! (Men comment on these photos and he says nothing.)

Against the wishes of my family he married her in a non-denominational marriage. At this point he does not speak to any family members including my parents, any friends.

In saying all this, I once visited the home they lived at together. There was a room that was closed off. Every room had a door you could kind of see through in the right light but this had a big black door. At one point they went to go pickup food and a cake and left me at home with their cat. I decided to peep into this room and what I found was three Satan idols on a shrine, a satanic prayer rug, and a book shelf with books about Satanism as well as black magic and Wiccan books talking about spells and such.

Is it plausible at all to believe that she performed some sort of black magic on my brother and has possessed him to an extent?

Is there any way for my family to tackle this aside from prayer?

Thank you for any input.

Salamalaikum

Today, I am going to review MAC Extra Dimension Blush Rosy Cheeks. Read on for more details on this blush.

The Android lock screen has evolved many times over the years. There have been various slide-to-unlock methods and OEMs have always put their own spin on things. As it turns out, there are also a lot of lock screen apps in the Play Store that can do even more. These days, we usually recommend people just use a finger print scanner to bypass the lock screen altogether. It’s okay if you don’t want to do that, though. Here are the best lock screen apps for Android!

It’s important to note that lock screen apps aren’t as popular as they once were. As a result, we generally recommend sticking to the regular lock screen or using your device’s always-on display (if available). In most cases, you’re hitting a fingerprint reader to bypass it entirely anyway. Plus, third party lock screen apps aren’t more secure than regular ones anyway.


AcDisplay

Price: Free / Up to $80

AcDisplay is one of the most popular lock screen apps. It emulates the always-on lock screens of devices like the Moto X, Galaxy S8, and others. Users can play with notifications without unlocking their display. It also features some customizations. For instance, you can set it to work only during certain hours to save battery life. More and more devices are coming stock with something similar. Thus, we’d only recommend AcDisplay to those with older devices that don’t already have this feature. Its last update was in 2015. We’re not sure if the developer is doing much with it anymore. At the very least, it’s free to download and play with.


Always on AMOLED

Price: Free / $1.99 / Other options

Always on AMOLED isn’t a lock screen, but it does emulate one. It basically mimicks the Always On Display feature of many smartphones. The app shows things like the time, notifications, and other such things. It also includes features like clock movement to avoid burn in. The app can even initialize doze mode while running. We only recommend this on devices with OLED display, including Samsung’s AMOLED. It loses a lot of its luster on LCD screens. We also only recommend this on older devices that don’t have always-on-display as a native feature. The native versions almost always work better than third party apps.


CM Locker

Price: Free

Most of Cheetah Mobile’s apps are trash. This one isn’t so bad. It’s a lock screen app and applock hybrid. It features the usual array of security precautions along with the ability to lock apps as needed. That way even if hackers get through the lock screen, they still can’t easily get into your apps. The app also features HD wallpapers, notification support, a news feed, and intruder selfies. There are some advertisements. They may or may not bother you depending on your tolerance for such things. It is otherwise free with no in-app purchases. It also serves as one of the few Cheetah Mobile apps that wasn’t taken down by Google during its ad fraud investigations.


Floatify

Price: Free

Floatify is a popular, somewhat modern option for a lock screen replacement app. It actually looks like a stock lock screen. It’s a simple background with the time on the front. You can add things like weather, notifications, and other data. You can also customize the shortcuts on the bottom of the lock screen. It also has other modern features like turning the display on when you pick up your phone, themes, and a chat heads feature similar to Facebook Messenger. It’s actually surprisingly good for a lock screen replacement. It hasn’t seen an update since late 2017, though, so we’re not sure this one is in active development anymore.

Floatify - best lock screen apps


Hi Locker

Price: Free / $1.99

Hi Locker is a fairly typical lock screen replacement app. It’ll show you the basics such as weather, notifications, calendar events, etc. You can also have it greet you with funny quips and greetings. It even has fingerprint support on devices with fingerprint readers. You can also have it auto-set wallpapers from Flickr. There are some customization options as well. For instance, you can have it hide notifications from certain apps so people can’t see it. It’s not even close to the most complicated lock screen apps, but it’s a great replacement for those who don’t need a ton of features.



KLCK Kustom Lock Screen MakerName

Price: Free / $4.49

KLCK is by the save developers of the popular KWGT Kustom Widgets and KLWP Live Wallpaper apps. Basically, this app lets you concoct your own custom lock screen. It uses a simple editor with a bunch of features. You can add notifications, various shapes, your own graphics and backgrounds, and more. It also lets you add stuff like Google Fit data, weather, live maps, music player functions, and even an RSS feed. This thing even comes with Tasker support. It’s still in early beta. Thus, you can expect bugs. However, in 2018, if you want a custom lock screen, this is the one we would recommend.

KLCK - best custom lock screen apps


LokLok

Price: Free / Up to $1.49

LokLok is different from most lock screen apps. It’s almost kind of a mash-up of a lock screen and Snapchat. Turning on the device will open your camera. You can take a picture, draw on that picture, and then send it to your friends or loved ones. They’ll see the image when they unlock their phone next and can respond accordingly. It’s not great for sending risque pictures, but it’s excellent for reminding someone to grab milk on their way home from work. The app is free to use. There are in-app purchases for things like sticker packs.


Solo Locker

Price: Free / Up to $5.00

Solo Locker is one of the better DIY lock screen apps. You get access to a bunch of customization features and lock screen elements. You can then construct your lock screen how you want. It comes with various lock methods, wallpapers, and even widgets. You can use these to make your lock screen. You won’t find a ridiculous amount of depth here, but there are enough options to make it fun. The base app is free and you buy additional stuff with in-app purchases.


Start Lock Screen

Price: Free

Start Lock Screen is kind of like Microsoft’s Next Lock Screen. Its goal is to put a lot of stuff on your lock screen. The ultimate goal is to operate most of the time without having to unlock your phone. It comes with stuff like web searches, various password locks, widgets, tools, news, weather, app shortcuts, and more. It even has little quizzes you can take to pass the time. You won’t get tons of security for this one. The app is free with no in-app purchases. It does contain ads.


Use your lock screen

Price: Free

Here’s the thing, folks. Google locked down a lot of your lock screen’s functionality over the years with newer versions of Android. Third party replacements don’t have the power they once did and you no longer have neat things like lock screen widgets (and, by extension, DashClock Widget and similar apps). The stock lock screen can show you notifications, keep out intruders, and always be on if you need it to. Unfortunately, with the lock screen minimized as much as it has been, that’s about all you can do even with third party replacements these days. We recommend sticking with the stock lock screen if you can because third party options are quickly dropping out of fashion. In addition, with biometric solutions becoming more popular, many people pass righ by the lock screen anyway.
