Cheap Craft Ideas 1.0.0.0
In case you are interested in putting together a special decoration or any object that you want to offer as a gift to a person dear to you, consulting a guidebook made just for this purpose could help a lot, so you can try on your Windows Phone a handy app called Cheap Craft Ideas.
Undecorated interface, focused on ease of use
This utility offers a simple design for its front-end, aiming to make it an easy job to find and view the tutorials you are interested in. The pattern on the background is better than having nothing or a solid color painted there, but is still not too appealing.
The graphics seem a bit rough around the edges and the small thumbnail that appears next to all the items on the long list on the start screen doesn't have any variations, despite it being an interesting mosaic of shapes and hues. Also, the quality of the images stored inside the articles could certainly be better.
Browse the articles and use the information to learn new crafts
The application offers a short selection of ideas you can try to make at home, as they need common materials and a bit of free time to work on them. The guidelines are presented in a clear fashion, so they are very easy to understand and follow one step at a time.
There is a noticeable hindrance in terms of navigation, more precisely when you move through the list of articles or while browsing the content inside any of them, the app has some delays in moving up and down, as it scrolls too few lines per swipe.
Sharing the content is not possible, so you won't be able to send the images or written instructions to any of your friends, as it is possible with other similar apps.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The looks of the interface are still far from what they could be, so despite the good intentions, the graphics need more attention and a bit of diversity for the patterns and colors. |
Function6
The very small amount of content provided by this app is far from sufficient and the functional issues alongside the lack of support for sharing content or searching inside the database take a heavy toll on the final rating. |
Security9
Cheap Craft Ideas is fairly safe to use by anyone as it leaves most system areas alone and only requires access to the phone identity. |
Battery7
Despite the simplicity of the utility, the power consumption is relatively high and the battery usage goes past the average level. |
Price7
For anyone looking for a few suggestions of original objects that can be crafted using mostly household items that are no longer suitable for their intended use, this app is good enough, but there are far better alternatives. |
Compatibility8
Ready to run on any Windows Phone 8 and above device, this application only needs a screen resolution of 480 by 800 pixels to work well. |
