Apple could be working very seriously with a clear goal: perfect the new iOS 11 operating system to successfully make its grand debut at this year's World Developers Conference (WWDC 2017). However, this push is not going to lead the jailbreak community to stop working on increasing the limits of what Apple's current mobile device operating system, iOS 10, can offer.
With the tweaks that are created and published on Cydia, jailbreak developers are often able to predict what Apple may incorporate into successive versions of their operating systems. There are numerous examples in previous versions of the different operating systems of occasions in which Apple has been "inspired" by some of the tweaks published in Jailbreak that made very useful modifications in iOS. In fact, the one we are dealing with now, Falcon, we have another clear example that Apple should take good note of for its great utility. It allows to shorten different shortcuts and control more elements from the notification center itself or from the device's own lock screen.
Falcon is available for download from the BigBoss repository, via the Cydia Jailbreak store. Falcón is priced at $ 1.49. In exchange for that amount, we can get a tweak that is made with the lock screen and the iOS Notification Center and gives them so many additional functionalities that could save a lot of valuable time. In addition, it also allows you to get direct access to some things that you always need. According to the description itself, «Falcon is a tweak that improves productivity, since three different pages can be created on the right, on the lock screen page or in the notification center. This means that on the lock screen, you can swipe left or right to access any of the added pages, as well as change the location of the camera and Today section. In the same way, many modifications can be made in the notification center ».
To be more specific, the power of Falcon lies in what can be added. Once installed, Falcon takes the control over lock screen and the notification center and gives immediate access to three things, which we can all imagine will be the utilities that people make the most use of: an Internet browser, a note-taking application, and the like. Access to these things would be as far as touching the screen on a locked iOS device or moving the notification center down. Instant access to a web browser, a place to type very quickly things that need to be remembered or, for example, shortcuts such as airplane mode, flashlight, VPN and more. Everything is just a few screen touches away at all times ... and that can be very useful.
We love tweaks that make things easier to perform or faster to access, and Falcon achieves both. Of course, the price seems a bit high, since it is only a tweak that needs Jailbreak and not an application by itself or that can always remain on your mobile. The best thing to do is to verify that you are going to put it to the correct use or that you can actually do with Falcon what you are thinking, before you finally buy the tweak. If you buy this tweak before making sure it works for what you have in mind, the fact that it costs you money could lead to disappointment. From here I always recommend that you check one before ... loosening the wallet. The price of the tweak is not high, but it is always better to check it!
