A new app has been topping the Apple App Store charts as a way to both customise your home screen and stay in touch with close friends.

Locket, created by Matt Moss as a present for his girlfriend, functions as a locket of sorts for your home screen. Currently only available for Apple products, the free application advertises “Live pics from friends.”
