NASA Image of the Day 2.8.0.3
NASA Image of the Day is designed to bring Windows Phone users some impressive photos accompanied by relevant articles and allow them to use the pictures onto the lock screen of their handset if they wish it.
Clean front-end with a neat look
The appearance of this utility is fairly well designed, allowing you to check out the beautiful images and read the article that usually goes along with it. Going through the information shown inside the main screen is fluent and without any kind of delay or other type of flaw.
Less welcomed are the adverts that appear in the lower part of the screen and are continuously changing. Also, here and there you will come across some prompts to rate and review the app, which you will be able to sent away for good with just one tap.
Enjoy a fresh photo from space and, optionally, customize your lock screen
NASA Image of the Day not only brings you an amazing picture accompanied by a well documented article, but it can also serve as a means of personalizing the appearance of your phone.
By allowing this application to change the background for the lock screen of your Windows Phone you will be able to enjoy the splendid imagery on the whole screen of your handset.
Should you pick the utility as the app to display the detailed status on the lock screen you will also have the title of the article listed in the lower part of the screen.
Share the content or have it read out loud with one tap
Thanks to this application you will have the possibility to listen to the content of the written article, as it will be read by a friendly voice as soon as you press the "Speak" button.
To help you send a link to the article and picture to your friends, NASA Image of the Day provides email, SMS and social network sharing functions right inside the menu bar at the bottom of the screen.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
Except for the bothersome advertisement banners and episodic prompt for rating and reviewing the application, the looks of this utility are pretty well put together. |
Function8
The application serves it purpose very well and even has in store some extra features that make the whole experience more pleasant for the users. |
Security5
Quite inquisitive by nature, this utility peeks into many sensitive areas of the system apparently for no good reason. |
Battery7
There is quite a bit of power necessary to keep NASA Image of the Day up and running, so the battery usage goes well beyond moderate levels. |
Price8
Despite the few shortcomings it has, the app has a remarkable value overall and for those who want to get rid off the ads, a purchase will make that happen. |
Compatibility9
Most Windows Phone handsets can have this utility installed and functioning correctly, as it only needs version 7.5 or above of the operating system. |
