Microsoft made Arrow Launcher a core part of the company's Android efforts, but should the same focus be put towards Next Lock Screen?
Microsoft has dozens of apps available on Android. These range from core Office applications to niche apps like Excel Keyboard. Some of the most interesting Microsoft apps on Android come out of the Microsoft Garage, an "experimental outlet" for Microsoft employees.
Microsoft took one of the most loved Microsoft Garage apps, Arrow Launcher, rebranded it, and added new features that integrate it with Microsoft's vision of mobile computing. But there's another well-regarded Microsoft Garage app that doesn't get the same attention, Next Lock Screen.
There's a variety of factors that could contribute to the app being left to a relaxed life of mostly receiving bug fixes, but I think it might be worth Microsoft giving Next Lock Screen the same treatment that Arrow Launcher received.
A unified experience
Next Lock Screen is made by the same team that made Arrow Launcher. As such, it shares many of the same design cues and goals. Next Lock Screen features a crisp design with minimal icons and is centered around getting users into apps quicker. It handles notifications beautifully and does the little things that you need a lock screen to take care of such as controlling music and quickly accessing tools.
