Connection Tiles 2.8.0.1
To make this a lot easier and more convenient for everyone, some specialized apps, like Connection Tiles have been developed and they make it possible to reach such system areas with a single tap.
This particular tool, though, is ready to offer a bit more than the basic functionality of many similar utilities and makes it possible for you to personalize the tiles before actually pinning them.
Convenient layout for practical use
This utility is evidently focusing on practical use and functionality rather than on good looks, as it has common interface, without any graphical elements to stand out.
All the configurations and functions are easy to reach and use from the editing screen, while the preview area allows you to see how the small and medium size tiles will look like when added to the Start screen.
Moving around through menus and lists of items is seamless and the only hindrance you will come across are the advertisements that appear almost everywhere. Removing these ads requires a payment.
Make your own custom tiles on the go
Connection Tiles comes well prepared in terms of supported system areas and actions, as it offers a lot of options for generating a fresh shortcut. The items are included all in the same list, so it is pretty simple to pick a system feature to pin.
The Connection Center area of the application makes it possile for you to have quick access to the most often used settings, namely those for WiFi, cellular data, Bluetooth, Airplane mode and location.
Should you care to create a quick link that enables you to create a new email or SMS message, this can be easily done, so besides the usual system tiles you can benefit from quicker access to these functions.
In the case of shortcuts for connectivity related areas you have an extra option at hand, more precisely you can have the connection status shown on the respective tile.
The background color can be selected with ease, thanks to the built-in color picker, while insofar as the tile icons are concerned you have a wide variety of options to choose from.
A very neat thing about Connection Tiles is that it allows you to use any of your saved pictures as icons, so you can give a really personal touch to the shortcuts you generate.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The plain looks of the app will certainly not steal the show, especially because of the monotonous color scheme and the adverts. |
Function8
The utility comes with a very good set of system settings and actions that can be added, along with some useful customization options. |
Security8
This application stays off most system areas, but it still needs to access two of them, namely the phone and owner identity. |
Battery5
Connection Tiles takes up a considerable amount of energy while running, so the power usage reaches high levels. |
Price8
Overall an app well worth a try, this tool provides a good deal of features for free, but it loses a bit because it asks for money to remove the ads. |
Compatibility10
The utility is designed to work on most Windows Phone powered handsets in existence, as it only needs version 7.5 of the OS. |
