Today, Microsoft Garage was introduced as an “after-hours idea factory” for company employees to work on their own projects. Microsoft started the day by launching Bing Torque for Android Wear. Now, two apps for phones are available in the Play Store. One is a lock screen replacement and the other is a social app for traveling.


Microsoft wants to be front and center on your Android phone with Next Lock Screen. The app is all about launching apps as quickly as possible. It displays things like your calendar, missed calls, emails, messages, and more. There is a swipe-to-dial feature that allows conference seamlessly. So it seems that people looking for productivity will find Next Lock Screen more useful. A nice touch for Next Lock Screen is that the background is dynamic and changes throughout the day and based on location.


Hit the break for more.

Journeys & Notes, however, leaves behind the seriousness of business and productivity for fun. It is a social app that connects a user with their origin and destination. Microsoft says “The road may be long and lonely, but we help connect you with others along the journey.” Journey & Notes uncovers other users that have taken the same path as you. Notes left by previous travelers can be found and then you can leave some of your own. The design of Journeys & Notes is quite impressive and seems like it is worth giving a try.
