8.1 HD Tiles 4.0.0.0
8.1 HD Tiles is one of the applications that were built in response to this need and it will enable you to give a really nice and functional look to your Windows Phone.
Plain and easy to use interface
Judging by the looks of this utility, the main focus is on practicality, as the looks are quite simple and minimalistic, without any possibility of changing any element of the interface.
Moving around through menus and lists of items is seamless and the only hindrance you will come across are the advertisements that appear everywhere. Fortunately, you will be able to get rid of them at the expense of a rating of your choosing given to the app from the corresponding area.
Find and pin the desired apps to the Start screen
8.1 HD Tiles comes well prepared in terms of supported apps, games and other items, as it offers an impressive amount of tiles to choose from. The items are placed in several categories, so it will be a lot easier to pick a system feature to pin, as well as store apps or games and even some popular websites you visit a lot.
There are some extra tiles you can pin to the Start screen, so, if you need some spacers in there, you can pin several invisible tiles or some empty, transparent ones. Also, you can add items with a custom name on them, as well as flipping tiles, all without a specific target.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
There is nothing out of the ordinary about the interface and the backgrounds and colors are quite dull. The smooth navigation saves some points here, as well as the neat organization of the available tiles. |
Function9
8.1 HD Tiles comes with an impressive number of tiles users can choose from and they are not limited to apps, since system features, games and websites can also be pinned to the Start screen. The customization of the tiles lacks a lot of options as compared to other similar applications. |
Security6
Even though it is supposed to focus on the screen customization only, the utility requires access to a lot of areas of the system where private data is kept, like the phone dialer, appointments, location services, phone and owner identities. |
Battery7
The resource usage is a bit above average throughout the runtime of 8.1 HD Tiles, so the battery consumption can reach significant levels in case of prolonged usage. |
Price9
This app manages to put together a solid performance and offers a lot of neat features for free. An advantage is the possibility of removing the apps in a simple manner, but compared to other tools, it still needs more features and customization possibilities. |
Compatibility8
8.1 HD Tiles is suitable for all handsets that are running Windows Phone 8 or above and which have a minimum screen resolution of 480 by 800 pixels. |
