Flexy Wallpaper 1.5.1.0
For owners of Windows Phone handsets an application called Flexy Wallpaper awaits to be discovered and make its users happy by offering a wide variety of pictures that can be displayed on the lock screen or set as Start screen backgrounds.
Check out thousands of images from a friendly GUI
Once you open this utility you will be introduced to the gallery that contains the hottest wallpapers and you can browse through them to find and download the ones you fancy keeping on your phone.
Moving around the numerous pages hosting the high-quality pictures has some delays, as the app needs to fetch from its online database the images.
If you try to move quickly among the pictures, the app might get stuck, but in any way this will certainly not make the wallpapers load any faster.
Search for wallpapers or go through the catalog
Flexy Wallpaper has a more special way of taking your through the pics, as the navigation is done by swiping to the left to change the pages, while with a swipe downwards you will be able to load the search tool.
Some animated ad banners are shown in the lower side of the screen and they are constantly changing, which can become really annoying. Fortunately, the ads no longer appear when loading an image to view up close.
Each image has some tags associated to it and by tapping the corresponding button from the main menu hosted in the lower side of the screen you will reveal all of them and use these tags to easily find other similar pics.
Lock screen preview and fast downloads
Transferring the preferred images to the local storage is a breeze, as all you have to do is press the "Save to phone" button from the same main menu and the operation will be done in a jiffy. You can even share the pictures from Flexy Wallpaper via SMS, email or social networks.
A cool feature of this app is the ability to work as lock screen provider, so you can enjoy a wide variety of fresh pics without having to set them manually.
There is even a test mode in which you can see exactly how the loaded wallpaper will look like when it appears onto the locked screen.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The tidy interface of this app is pretty nice to work with, but the ad banners spoil some of the good feel of the whole experience. |
Function8
The fast downloads and the lock screen provider ability are the main strong points of Flexy Wallpaper. |
Security9
The application is fairly safe to use, but you should consider that it needs to access the owner identity for some reason. |
Battery1
The utility is extremely thirsty for power, as it discharges the battery very fast, especially if used constantly. |
Price9
Putting up with the adverts is the price to pay for receiving and even having the possibility to save so many high-quality wallpapers for free. |
Compatibility9
Having this tool running in the background needs an Internet connection and a device running Windows Phone 8 or higher. |
