Modern Tiles 2.0.0.0
Modern Tiles is one of the specialized tools that were designed particularly for this purpose and it provides a simple way of accessing various system areas and everyday activities.
Adaptive and intuitive interface
This application comes with a relatively simple look, easy to use and featuring a nice background image as wallpaper for the main screen. The generous tiles that serve as shortcuts are neatly designed, animated and feature text labels for quickly identifying each of them.
Moving through the long list of items hosted inside the main screen is smooth and without any delays. The responsive GUI adapts immediately to any change in orientation, so it can be used very well in landscape mode as well.
Unfortunately, some really annoying adverts will come into view once in a while and they appear in full screen, hindering the use of this app and cannot be removed in any way.
Access system settings and functions
Basically, you can open directly the airplane mode, WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular or maps sections, but there are a lot of other handy tiles you can put to good use.
More precisely, with Modern Tiles you can easily place phone calls, add contacts, access the email composer or create appointments. The Internet navigator is one tap away and so are the Windows Phone Store or the camera.
In case you need a fast way to visit YouTube, update your status on various social networks or start a search with Bing or Cortana, all these are at your fingertips.
Useful extra features at a glance
The application packs some other handy options inside and there are several functions you will surely find quite handy as soon as you try them out. Thus, the utility sports its own calculator, ready to be used for basic operations and there is also a sound recorder for you to enjoy also.
The "Hardware Test" section of Modern Tiles is made to offer a quick insight about some device details and you can carry out some verifications related to the phone's touch screen and accelerometer sensor. A neat thing about this app is that it is able to display your profile picture is you log in with your Live ID.
