Bottom Line

Design / UI9 This app comes with a really beautiful look, smooth navigation and a smart layout in which the functions are placed conveniently.	Function9 Phototastic offers lots of customizations and an inspired choice of designs. It would have been great to have more backgrounds available freely.	Security7 The application needs phone and owner identity details and access to the phone dialer is also required for some reason.
Battery7 Most of the time, Phototastic draws a relatively moderate amount of energy, but the battery usage raises when dealing with numerous photos.	Price8 The utility brings a lot of toys for free, but the user will have to pay real money to get rid of the ads and unlock more options like extra collage designs and backgrounds.	Compatibility9 Since Phototastic is meant to be used with any device that Windows Phone 7.5 and above, its user base is quite broad.
