Background Wallpapers HD 3.1.0.411
For the later purpose, Windows Phone users have at their disposal a lot of apps that are designed to help them bring some beautiful pics onto the lock screen or as backgrounds for the Start screen.
Background Wallpapers HD is one such utility and it makes it possible for all users to search for a wide variety of pictures, then use them to give their handsets a completely new look.
Uncomplicated GUI, with a clean appearance
This utility provides a simple interface, with a decent design of the layout that facilitates the access to the coveted photo resources inside. The graphics are smooth and so is the navigation through the numerous images hosted inside the application.
The high quality wallpapers are well organized under several relevant categories, to make them easier to browse. Double tapping the images will automatically zoom in and there is also a neat lock screen preview mode which you can try out to see how the picture will look onto the locked screen.
A rather annoying presence you will notice immediately is that of the animated advertisement banners that are spread all through the application and keep on changing at an irritating pace.
Check out the wallpapers and save the ones you like
To view the entire list of categories all you have to do is tap on the menu button shown in the upper right corner of the main screen. Saving the preferred images is a breeze, as all you have to do is press the "Download" button from the main menu when inside the image preview area.
In case you want to keep a set of pics inside the application and view them some time later, mark the respective photos as favorites and they will be sent to the corresponding area inside the utility.
The search engine of Background Wallpapers HD is pretty responsive and provides accurate results every time, so you can have at your disposal some fresh material for your lock screen backgrounds.
In case you want to view the most appreciated pics, the app displays them by default in the main screen, as the first section you will enter automatically is suggestively called "Hot". If you simply want to browse the pictures without going through the categories, select the "Random" section to see what goodies are in store for you there.
