#1 ToolKit 3.0.0.2
In such cases, the virtual helpers could come in handy and Windows Phone users have a pretty varied choice at their disposal, since there are plenty of apps of this kind around and #1 ToolKit is one of the reference utilities in this category.
Neatly designed interface, well organized and very easy to work with
This application is invested with a clean and smooth appearance, in which the clearly outlined graphics are complemented by a very good organization of the contained tools. There are even some customizations you can try from the dedicated area of the "Settings" menu to give a fresh look to the app.
The instruments are arranged into several relevant categories, so they can be easily identified and there is a nice animation effect when moving around the different sections. Not so pleasant are the full screen ads and the prompts to rate the application that appear out of nowhere every once in a while.
Handy toolset for measurements, conversions and other practical uses
There are plenty of utilities inside #1 ToolKit you can put to good use in various situations, which include simple measurements, getting your bearings with a compass and a map or viewing angles of objects in real-time, using the on-board camera.
If you need to look up close at a certain object, the built-in magnifier will be of good use and in case the light is too dim, there is a flashlight app in the set. Adding shortcuts to system areas to the Start screen, performing unit conversions and monitoring various currencies are all at hand as well.
A couple of sound tools for measuring the noise level and recording audio are also included, just like a few time measuring apps like a timer, a stopwatch, a speed meter and an app for viewing the time in any city across the world.
