Win Screens is a Windows 10 app that allows you to create custom lock-screen and start-screen wallpapers, along with a host of information widgets. It is also today's myAppFree Deal, allowing you to remove the ads for free, a savings of $1.99.

Available for Windows 10 PC and Mobile, Win Screens is already a free, ad-supported app and with the help of the myAppFree Deal, you can remove those ads for no cost. The deal is available for the next 24 hours, so if you're interested you should act fast. Win Screens offers an easy way to customize your Windows 10 device, and the myAppFree deal helps you save some money.

The layout of Win Screens is simple and to the point. A menu button rests in the upper left corner of the display and reveals your navigation options. A second menu is located in the lower right corner, and it allows you to toggle between customizing the lock-screen image or the Start Screen background wallpaper.

Key features of Win Screens include:

  • Wallpaper images can be based on Bing's Image of the Day, a personal image or a range of solid colors.
  • Nine effects filters are available, including Blur, Gamma, Luminance, Grayscale, Saturation, Hue Rotation, Color Transform, Motion, and Emboss.
  • Notification, mood, personal Information, calendar, weather and notes widgets are available to add to your lock-screen image.
  • Four themes are available to customize the appearance of the widgets.

As your custom lock-screen image or background wallpaper is being created, Win Screens has a preview feature to tweak the appearance as needed before setting the layout into place.

The myAppFree deal removes the ad banner that appears throughout the Win Screens app. The deal saves you a few bucks, but it also gives the app a much cleaner appearance. If you are looking for a handy app to customize the appearance of your Windows 10 device, Win Screens is worth a look.

  • Do these apps work on win 10. I have used this and awesome lock and in maximum one day they stop working
  • I have the same problem.  If I'm lucky, Awesome Lock will work for a day and a half.  Otherwise, it just stops updating and I have to go toggle the lock screen settings to get it back up to date.  :( Anybody know if this will be any better?  
  • Awsome lock still working good one
  • Works good on CU on my 950. Interesting app
  • Very nice in my 950!!!
  • Not in the UK, is this us only
  • I just install it. From México
  • Is it called my app free
  • Been looking for a good lock screen app for so long. This looks good.
  • Crashes in opening any help 1520
  • It works on my Alcatel Idol 4S!
  • Trendmicro recognizes as ransomware... Already deleted from system..but look interesting
  • I replaced Awesome Lock, with Lockie, as Awesome Lock, is too buggy with Win10. I'll try Win Screens, when it becomes available.
  • I know a similar app, which was and is working on even my old lumias (with phone 8.1). It is called "Lockmix" and you can set up wheather, a timer (for a date) and so much more. I like it, and it is free. Sunset and sunrise times are one more thing you can set up.with it ;)
  • Hi George, You wrote "or a range of solid colors." for custom wallpapers. Its rude man. Check custom wallpapers more carefully. Surely this offers much more than a range of solid colors. :)   
  • It is nice on mobile (haven't tried on my desktop yet), though wish there better descriptions for changes to the design. I can't figure out what some do until I try them out. Also if you want to make room for the music controls on the lockscreen, I can only fit one thing else with this app instead of the default 2. A strange limitation. It stil shows regular lockscreen stuff instead of replacing it as well. The default colors in the app suck as well but changeable. 
  • Still no lock screen app working on my 950. Also, after the lastest creators update, the glance screen has stopped working! Any solutions?
  • How come I still have ads on this ?
