Introduction
We use our iPhones and iPads with increasing regularity in our day to day lives and this entails looking at our lock screens and home screen, to which we may not give a second thought. Furthermore, more and more people are able to afford these devices. Given that they look identical to one another, it isn't unheard of to pick up someone else's iOS device by accident.
Pimp Your Name - unique backgrounds with YOUR Name! is an app that can help you design your very own wallpapers with your name, or two names, quickly and easily.
This app is available in the App Store for under a dollar just like many other wallpaper apps. Let's take a look at its features.

Interface & Designs
Pimp Your Name - unique backgrounds with YOUR Name! takes up 57.1 MB of space, which makes it a fairly hefty app, though it still manages to retain its swiftness.
Optimized for the iPhone 5, this app comes packed with more than a hundred designs for you to choose from including Golden Butterfly, 3D Fire Dragon, Princess Crown, VIP Bling Sign, Pink Floral Art Design, Diamond Skull, Stylish Heart Design, and many more. I personally found the collection fairly feminine; perhaps the developers wish to target females, but it would be nice to have more designs that are thematic, topical, or seasonal.
If you don't find something you like, however, that should not be a problem because you can even use your own photographs as the background for your wallpaper.

User Experience
This app is very easy to use and is rather straightforward. Users need not spend plenty of time trying to figure out just how to use it, so no matter your technological comfort or experience, you can use this app immediately after launching.
First, you must type in your name or your initials which will initiate a preview of all the designs in the gallery. I like being able to view what my name looks like on a variety of backgrounds, which I feel is a fantastic feature that other similar apps could learn from.
Once you've zeroed in on a design you like, you will need to save it to your Camera Roll before you set it as the Lock Screen.
If you're sharing your iPhone or iPad with someone, you can also view a selection of designs that feature two names so they both show up on your wallpaper.
