Control Board 1.2.3.0

Numerous Windows Phone users are eager to get the functions they use most often right at their fingertips and adding shortcuts onto the Start screen is the easiest way to go by.

To help get this job done, plenty of specialized apps are available and among them you can find Control Board, a tool that brings some useful extras besides the common system settings most apps offer.

Friendly and easy to use front-end

This utility comes with a well designed layout and a rather pleasant interface, very simple to work with thanks to a well thought organization of the content.

The shortcuts are available on several rows and you can glide most of them to view all the items that can be pinned. Also, Control Board enables you to change the color for the tiles selected for pinning to the Start screen.

A bit of a bother are the occasional reminders that you will encounter here and there and which prompt you to rate and review the app.

Add shortcuts for useful functions on the fly

The application allows you to send the desired items onto the Start screen in a simple manner, as you only have to tap and hold any of the available shortcuts and you will be asked if you want to pin it.

There are some items like the battery indicator or the camera, SMS, email and account shortcuts that cannot be pinned, but you can still access those areas with one tap from the main screen of Control Board.

Music and volume controls

This app brings some really useful functions at your fingertips and those meant for controlling the sound are the best examples. Thus, you have the possibility to move to the previous or to the next track or stop the music with one tap, as well as adjust the volume using the built-in slider.

Unfortunately, some of the features are not operational on Windows Phone 8.1 and cannot be pinned to the Start screen either.
