Fernando Gamboa Peña, Online Editor-in-Chief

Earn money just by looking at your phone. Locket is a lock screen replacement for Android that rewards you for unlocking your phone or tablet. This seems too good to be true, and it partially is. There is one small catch: you must indulge your inner consumer by looking at ads. You look at ads, and for every new ad you see , you earn a cent. After each day the count resets and you can earn money by seeing new ads the next day.

Absent the fact the you earn free money by simply unlocking your phone, the app itself and the lock screen is nice to look at; the ads are well designed and at a glance can pass for a random wallpaper. Luckily, after it has show you all the ads for the day Locket has custom wall papers that fill the home screen, from funny animal pictures to scenic views of nature.

Locket is available for free from the Google Play store.
