I'm pretty sure they did this to keep people from complaining about app functionality and support calls. If a person has figured out how to install good lock you can assume they are relatively tech savvy and those types of people already have read into the pro's and cons of installing good lock and the things you may encounter using unverified apps on the home screen. Kudos to Motorola for doing it right from the beginning.

Thank you so much for this instructive video. By following your tutorial and installing Good Lock, my cover screen has additional widgets with apps to play with, without having to open the phone. I added my Google Photos, Google Mail, my security cameras and Messenger. I am enjoying my Samsung Z Flip 5, now more than ever, and hardly ever have to open the phone, which I appreciate.

Did they remove this recently or what? When i go into labs there's no toggle for allowing apps on the cover screen...

Also in case it bothers you like it did me you can edit the clock to get rid of the zero when the time is not double digits. That's always bothered me.

On another note.. How is that case.. is it thin? I'm waiting for my Latercase to come. I've had a few different flip cases but always go back to my Latercase because it's so minimal and fits like a glove on the phone.

I would guess you have heard of Good Lock before this. Cause with it you can completely charge your whole Samsung phone anyway you like. Yes maybe Samsung should have made the front screen to get apps like Motorola but they didn't and really it isn't that hard to do it with Good Lock.

Why I can't see all the apps inside of the Launcher widget while choosing what apps to show on the cover screen. I didn't find some of the apps inside of "I love Foldables" Clock, Calender, Camera. Any reason or solution?

i assume they did not plan on any apps until the razor came out then they had to jump through hoops to get it available

The stupid Good Lock should be baked in One UI. When I did have a Samsung phone, it would frustrate me when I got the new Android update that Good Lock became useless and couldn't use it until stupid Samsung made Good Lock compatible with the new Android version...

It doesnt pop on galaxy store for me.When i searche it on Google the store pops but it's said 'the app is not available'

Unfortunately Good Lock is not available in Serbia and I'm stuck !

it s not avalible in Europe or other countries in this region ....Only US, Japain, Coreea

I've thought this from once i saw the Razr.. if Moto had the balls to do a great trade in for the z flip 4 they would fully challenge Samsung. But they don't and Samsung is basically giving you the phone with the trade in they offered. Plus support from Samsung stores if you have one close. Moto can't compete with that and until they do they don't stand much of a chance.

I own the razor and u have to go through and give permission for each app b4 u can just add app to front. It's easy but at first it isn't just as easy as hitting the plus button.

so you can't install the moto launcher on the flip?

Let them know! I have both the Z Flip 5 and the RAZR+, The front screen experience on the Motorola phone is better, without a doubt. The Samsung's build quality is much more solid. Fact. But so far, the RAZR+ is still leading the way from my personal use. To be clear, I've had the Z-Flip 3, the 4, and the now 5...

Wish I saw this days ago mine will arrive today 😅 I couldn’t decide for a while I did the trade in with Samsung I hope I don’t regret it but I’m sure it’s worth it trading my iPhone

Honestly, i just dont like the shape of the front screen on the zflip, on top of the hoops you gotta jump through to use apps on it. Its a shame bc i love Samsung, but because of those annoyances along with the razr's fold being less noticeable, I'm leaning toward getting the razr.

only get my Z5 today basically I'm screw it cannot access good lock in my county trying nicelock nothing so it good to throw away sorry i didn't went for the Motorola

Kinda like the effort needed, because it stops us doom scrolling as easy on the front screen.

Good Lock not available in my country. If I would have known this I would have never bought this phone. Disappointed.

I agree someone that's not tech savvy will probably be disappointed with 4 or 5 widgets on that small z flip 5 screen, just seems kind of lazy that Samsung is reliant on other apps to get the best out of the small screen. I've been using it for about a week now, photos are decent, battery life not so great and sometimes I still find myself flipping the phone anyway and using the larger display. It does have that premium feel so the build quality is top notch. I only spent $200 with a trade-in so can't really complain, but I can see somebody not impressed with the phone that spent over $1,000.

Hopefully this is a wakeup call for Samsung. They've been resting on their larels too long, lets see what they do with the Flip 6 next year with Motorola breathing down their necks. We appreciate your "honest review", just be careful that Samsung doesn't send some Ninja's after you!😅
