Connectivity Tiles Pro+ 1.4.0.0

Numerous Windows Phone users find it easier to have onto their Start screen certain shortcuts to various areas of the system, so as to be able to activate or disable certain functions with fewer taps than going through the "Settings" menu.

This need has not gone unnoticed, as many dedicated applications have been devised to serve such purposes. Connectivity Tiles Pro+ is one of these specialized tools that were designed particularly for this purpose and it provides a simple way of pinning a handful of shortcuts to the Start screen.

Polished look for a straightforward GUI

Dressed mostly in blue, this utility has a clean front-end with a quite well organized layout that offers quick access to all the features.

The system tiles you have at your fingertips have a neat design, with clear and crisp graphics, while the navigation inside the various areas of the app is fluent at all times. A bit of a letdown is that all the tiles you add to the Start menu with this application do not support the wide size.

A more noticeable downside is the presence of some advertisement banners that are continuously changing in the lower side of the screen and which can steal the focus for a few moments because of their perpetual renewal. Some occasional reminders that prompt you to rate and review the app appear as well, but these can be dismissed and deactivated permanently with two taps.

Pin existing tiles or create custom ones on the go

Compared to similar tools, Connectivity Tiles Pro+ has a very short list of system areas that are available for pinning. Thus, you can only add WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular data and airplane mode shortcuts.

A more rare ability that is included the feature set of this utility is custom tile creation. From the dedicated area you will be able to edit several parameters and save a fresh shortcut which can be pinned immediately to the Start screen.

The choice in terms of functions that are triggered when the custom tile is pressed remains limited to the above-mentioned system settings that you can turn on or off with one tap. Nonetheless, you can give them a different name and choose one of the colors this application puts at your disposal.

There are several icon types you can choose from in order to further personalize the shortcuts you create and the tile preview allows you to see how the small and medium tiles will look like when pinned.

All the new and custom shortcuts you make can be saved to the app's local storage and from the dedicated area they are visible and ready for selection at any moment.
