Global Wallpapers HD 1.2.0.0
For those who look to find some of the best wallpapers to use onto their Windows Phone handset there are plenty of alternatives in the Store waiting to be put to good use.
Simple to work with and containing a lot of beautiful backgrounds, Global Wallpapers HD is one of the utilities that might gain a top spot among the tools in its category.
Well structured interface, with a decent look
The application presents itself in a simple form, with the main focus on functionality and ease of use. The numerous categories are accessible with a single tap from the home screen and each of them has a nice and relevant thumbnail picture assigned to it.
The navigation through the seemingly endless list of images goes on pretty smoothly, but only 20 pictures are shown at a time and you will have to tap the button at the end of the list each time you want to load more images.
Browse the image catalog on the go
The high quality wallpapers are well organized under several relevant categories, to make them easier to browse. On the downside, there is a waiting time for each selected wallpaper, as the pics have to fetched form the online database.
The alphabetical structuring of the categories is helping a lot in making the navigation easier and inside each of them you will have several modules. Thus, you can view the newest images, the top rated, top downloaded and top viewed pictures.
When the selected image is loaded you can view in the upper part of the screen some useful stats that consist of the number of views and downloads, as well as the rating received from other users. You can leave yours too by tapping the corresponding icon and then selecting the number of stars.
Search for wallpapers and save them
The search engine is effective and yields pretty accurate results, so you will be able to find some really impressive images to use on your Windows Phone in a relatively short time.
Getting the images onto your phone is very easy, just press the "Download" button in the lower part of the screen and the picture will be automatically sent to the "Saved Pictures" folder on your Windows Phone device.
