Pros
Cons
FlyScreen is a cool idea for adding news, sports, RSS, social media, SMS text messages, email and more on the unlock screen of Android phones. Get News, RSS, social media, SMS , email and more all from one convenient screen. Similar to Motorola’s proprietary “MotoBlur” software debuted on the Motorola Cliq.
The Tagging feature is convenient for marking content for reading later and integrates with other RSS reader apps. You can even share content with Facebook or Twitter. Search to launch Google in a web browser.
I really like that you can custom set update intervals (so notifications wont disturb you at night) in addition to manual updates and you can exit the app.

FlyScreen Android App is very useful for keeping up with services you otherwise have use many different apps to access.
There some usability quirks with organizing your screens, but a quick review of the help section should ease this pain. Don’t forget you have to register and login just to use the app.
Accessed every time you unlock your phone.
The user interface is the driving factor in this app. Some widgets are a bit inconsistent but a good attempt to organize your unlock screen.

Another con: it hides the notification bar….
drains the battery like a bulb
This review lists many complaints about FlyScreen that have already been addressed.
-No user/pass req after initial install
-Notifications bar now goes invisible in FlyScreen. This means, you can access it. You just can’t see it.
-Custom Wallpapers and a bevvy of new wallpapers at modmyflyscreen.com. CON- when you make your own wallpaper, you have to submit it to the company so THEY can make the apk file. Wierd.
Removed. It tends to stall my G1 [probably the G1 processor isn't powerful enough

why can’t i find this in the android market? I’ve scanned the barcode, searched by name, package name, and everything? Help?
Unsure why it won’t show for you Brent, as it’s in the Market still. Try to visit their website to download: http://www.myflyscreen.com
yeah, that is strange. When I go to the website, it only has a download for Symbian, and not for Android, or am I missing something?
Sometimes apps developers limit countries or Android OS versions, what country are you from and what Android os version do you have?
Im in USA, and have an HTC Hero on 1.5.
FlyScreen are not supporting Android 1.5 anymore. That’s why you can’t find it in the Market.
