Android is great because it allows you to customize to your heart's content. Want to use a launcher and change your device's icons? Easy. Feel like getting a taste of stock Android? Done. But what a lot of these launchers don't address is your lock screen, which is typically just a boring PIN code (for security!). If you're tired of the same old swipe to unlock motion, there are some great lock screen alternatives to spice up your experience.

Like anything Android, there are a boatload of options to choose from, so our list isn't the end all, be all; they're just some great choices we could see ourselves using on a daily basis. AcDisplay? Pretty great if you've ever used Moto Display for the Moto X. There are many others, too, such as Cover, which essentially displays app on your lock screen depending on where you are and what time of day it is.

Check out the video above to see what Mark chose as his top five lock screens. There's a wide variety of options, and these are but a few lock screens Android have to choose from. Have your own suggestions? Let us know what lock screen app you use and why in the comments down below.
