Dashboard 4.0.0.0
As many Windows Phone users know, these and many other system settings are not as easy to access as it would seem, but there are ways of getting there in a jiffy and using an app like Dashboard is one of them.
Modern interface with a practical design
The application comes with a relatively easy to use front-end that hosts all the shortcuts brought by the utility and makes them readily available. The tiles vary in size inside the app and appear to be grouped by function and each set has a distinct color.
Each system area or phone function is loaded promptly and without any delays when the corresponding tile is tapped. Unfortunately, after a couple of uses the prompts to rate and review the app will appear every time you start Dashboard.
System settings and messaging features at a glance
This utility is prepared to let you enter the configuration areas of several functions of the system, so you can turn on or off cellular data connection, Bluetooth, WiFi and Airplane Mode.
In case you need to get in touch with friends and family, the email and SMS areas can be accessed with one tap on the tiles assigned to these functions, while the social sharing feature is also present inside the main screen of Dashboard.
Useful extras for special tasks
The app is equipped with a useful set of tools that can be put to good use when needing a quick means of counting things, adding new contacts to the phone book or customizing digital images with a powerful photo editor.
There is also a special tile that allows you to access the free storage details and a neat location facility that displays your current position on a map and also provides some extra details that you can share on the spot.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The looks of this application are fairly well designed and consistent with the general Windows Phone user interface, despite the annoying prompts. There are no customizations for the visuals, but the smooth navigation and live status reports for the monitored functions make up for that. |
Function9
The utility is very well prepared for offering instant access to various system settings and it even comes with a set of extra tools that can prove very handy for many users. |
Security8
The app certainly looks into many areas of the system, but for most of them it has a good reason, as those sections are related to its main functions. |
Battery1
A real battery killer, Dashboard will finish off every energy resource before you know it as it drains the power at an alarming rate. |
Price9
Thanks to the very solid feature set, this application manages to provide a good alternative for many other similar tools. |
Compatibility9
As long as the Windows Phone device is powered by at least version 7.5 of the operating system, the app is good to go. |
