Cool Tiles 2.0.0.0
Featuring a wide range of app tiles and a lot of customization possibilities, this tool will certainly fit the bill for a good deal of Windows Phone users.
Attractive design and graphics
The beautiful appearance of this app is due to the impressive backgrounds that can be set easily and to the transparent tiles that are at your disposal in the home screen of the application.
All the tiles are neatly stacked in rows and columns, but their arrangement could be a lot better if users would have the possibility to order them alphabetically, instead of being able to only change their place manually, or if they came already organized in relevant categories.
Pick and pin apps to the Start screen or create new tiles on the spot
Operating Cool Tiles is a breeze since all you have to do is find the tiles corresponding to the apps you have installed onto the mobile device and, with a single tap, have them pinned to the Start screen.
A neat feature is the ability to create free style tiles from the ground up, by using one of the built-in backgrounds, or just about every picture stored on the phone. You can add on these tiles the symbols for any of the supported apps and change its size, transparency and color scheme before pinning them.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
A top of the line interface greets every user and the numerous possibilities to customize it are some great additions anyone would appreciate. A better arrangement of the items inside the home screen is the only thing this app needs from this perspective, since the ads are non-intrusive and displayed only in the "Options" area. |
Function9
Fully equipped for giving a completely new look to the Start screen of any supported device, this utility provides a lot of personalization possibilities, with the creation of the custom tiles being its most prominent feature. |
Security8
This application stays well off most system areas where sensitive data is stored, but it still needs to access two of them, namely the phone dialer and owner identity. |
Battery8
Cool Tiles needs a decent amount of energy to run properly and it manages to keep the power consumption at low to moderate levels at all times. |
Price10
Definitely one of the customization tools users should not leave untouched, this app makes it possible to give a personal feel to the handset without having to pay a single cent. |
Compatibility8
Those with more recent Windows Phone powered devices will be able to install and run Cool Tiles, as it needs version 8 and above of the operating system. |
A great app for those who want a great looking Start screen
