Quick Access+ 3.1
Quick Access+ is one of the utilities that aggregates a lot of shortcuts for commonly used settings and apps built-in your Windows Phone. Besides keeping them all together inside the same screen, it will enable you to pin tiles for each of them onto the Start screen.
Neatly structured front-end, focused on practical use
This application has a rather simple, yet well designed interface, where all the shortcuts are arranged carefully so as to be very easy to access. The graphics have a nice look, with carefully drawn icons and their arrangement can be customized with ease.
The background and clock colors can also be subject to change, as you can pick the preferred color or make them both transparent. You should note that if the latter option is applied to the clock, it will no longer be visible inside the main screen of the app.
Some prompts to rate and review the app will appear from time to time, but they can be dismissed easily.
Quick customization for the main screen
The utility functions equally well in both screen orientation modes, portrait and landscape, but if you feel that the screen rotation is more of an impediment when using this application, you can disable it via the "Customize" menu.
In a similar manner the number of columns in which the shortcuts are arranged can be set from the same area to 4, 3 or 2. A preview of each layout is shown there as well.
View activated functions and pin shortcuts to the Start screen
Inside the main screen of Quick Access+ you can see some system options highlighted and this signals the fact that they are currently enabled.
In case you consider there are too many items there, you can always deactivate the ones you do not need by unchecking the visibility mark that is assigned to each of them in the "Tiles" area of the "Customize"menu.
From the same spot, you have at your disposal the buttons for pinning the shortcuts as tiles to the Start menu with a single tap.
