Mobile devices like the iPhone, iPad - and to some extent the iPod touch - have made us all more socially aware and allow us to interact with people around the world with ease. It's human nature to interact with others and express our social sides, which is one of the reasons why social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Path have managed to ingrain themselves in our lives. But what about those social beavers who either happen to travel a lot and want to see what's going on around them or just want to discover new and topical events going on in their hometown?

Every now and then a new app or tweak comes along that can genuinely be thought of as a game changer.

There's no getting away from the fact that mobile devices like the iPhone and iPod touch are all about convenience and being able to do what we want to do with our connected lives. Whether it be accessing Facebook on the move, downloading the latest music track from a favorite artist or reading what's going on in the world from a cherished news app; the power of mobile is in plain view. It's for that exact reason why iOS device owners love to jailbreak their devices, and it doesn't come anymore convenient that the new LockscreenToggles tweak when it comes to getting almost immediate access to an array of system settings.
The jailbreak community has never failed to amaze us with the innovative and inventive tweaks that they manage to conjure up in their minds. Refreshing and filtering through Cydia inevitably brings up a wide variety of different types of packages and enhancements for jailbroken iOS devices, with some of the more popular tweaks proving to be those simple implementations that live directly on the lock screen of the phone.
