Connectivity Tiles 2.5.0.150
In the same time, the visual modifications can have a very practical side as well and for this to come true a utility like Connectivity Tiles by Mara apps is probably the best idea as it will offer quick access to various system areas.
Great looking interface, with a smooth and practical layout
This application brings some impressing graphics, with a beautiful design and many customization options for background and tiles. Unfortunately, for most of the extra skins and wallpapers you will have to pay, as only one set of tiles and a single background are provided for free.
The glowing tiles will look very nice when pinned to the Start screen and inside the main screen of the app as well, but in there are also plenty of animated ad banners that catch the eye and also some occasional prompts that ask you to rate and review Connectivity Tiles.
Pin shortcuts on the fly and get instant access to system settings
This application comes with one of the simplest ways of operation and to make everything even easier, there is an animated help section that shows you the two functions you have at your disposal.
Basically, you can open directly the Airplane Mode, WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular, Location Services, and Screen Rotation settings or pin their corresponding shortcuts to the Start screen.
A useful tile meant to help you stop the music with one tap is also included, but the flashlight function that should activate the camera LED will not work properly, at least not on a Nokia Lumia 1520 handset running Windows Phone 8.1.

Bottom Line
Design / UI10
Despite the nuisance caused by the ads and prompts to review it, the app has a really impressive look, with some awesome tiles and a cool background. The tiles will surely make the Start screen shine once they are pinned to it. |
Function7
There are a few useful shortcuts users can place onto the Start screen and the "Stop Music" function is a neat addition, but there could be a lot more entries included on the list, including a flashlight feature that actually works on all devices. |
Security8
The application needs to look into many system areas but not all of them are related to its functionality, like the phone and owner identities. |
Battery5
The beautiful appearance of this tool comes at a cost and the battery pays most of it as the power consumption is very high. |
Price8
The great looks of this app may make it one of the most coveted utilities of this kind, but there are a few payments to make in order to unlock all the interface customizations and eliminate the pesky ads. |
Compatibility9
Connectivity Tiles is meant to work on all Windows Phone devices that are running version 7.5 and above of the operating system. |
