About this app

What if every phone unlock made your day just a little better? Imagine unlocking in the morning, and the weather is already there.

Imagine unlocking while you’re waiting in line or at work, and there’s already a beautiful photo gallery waiting to help you relax and escape the grind. Or maybe, for you, it’ll be local events that’ll make you look forward to your downtime, or just the top headlines in news, sports or entertainment to stay informed.

We call them “smart” phones; shouldn’t we expect more from them? Get more from those little moments in between, when you unlock your phone.

Came pre downloaded on my phone and is the most intrusive app I've ever experienced. I have permissions to display over other apps turned off and it still pops up after unlocking my device. I'd go as far as to call this a form of a pup malware (potentially unwanted program) without the backdoor security threats. The most annoying app I've ever had to deal with, and it can't even be uninstalled.

I wanted to read one article. Now it pops up every time I turn on my screen. I turned off the permissions, not allowing it to pop up over other things, still does. It had messed up my progress in several endeavors, whether an important conversation, a job application, a game, important information that disappeared when it clicked off of what I was viewing. And to find out it's using 4 and a half gigs of data when I'm not even half way through the month? What the hell? Do better Kricket.

App is behaving like malware, couldn't even find out the name of the app to uninstall it or what it even was. Opened on its own multiple times. It's mostly just ads with a couple of news articles in between. Total garbage. Digital tribune at the very bottom was the only clue to what it was. Cannot completely uninstall by normal means either. If I could give negative stars I would.
