Quick Toggles 2014.1212.435.470
The need to have a centralized place from where to simply tap and open various system areas is well known to many Windows Phone users and this hasn't gone unnoticed, as many dedicated applications have been devised to serve such purposes.
One of these tools is Quick Toggles and it aims to bring at your fingertips all the system settings you need, without clogging the Start screen with lots of shortcuts.
Nicely crafted interface, with a good looking and practical layout
The looks of this application are beautiful, mainly thanks to the very smooth and well designed graphics and also to the neat background that can be seen through the transparent tiles showing inside the home screen.
All the functions are neatly organized and easy to reach, but the shortcuts listed on the main screen are not arranged alphabetically, nor can their current placement be modified in any way, so you will have to get used to the default layout.
A more noticeable downside is the presence of some advertisement banners that are continuously changing in the lower side of the screen and which can steal the focus for a few moments because of their perpetual renewal.
Tap one time to open any system area from Quick Toggles
The utility is extremely easy to use and offers a great convenience when it comes to getting quickly to the lock screen, NFC or location settings, as well as to many other modules visited often for making all sorts of adjustments.
Inside the app you have a button that makes it possible for you to pin Quick Toggles to the Start screen and another one for generating an instant toast notification.
In fact, for any action you take while inside the application, that notification will appear immediately and when you tap it you will be taken inside the app instantly.
There is a small letdown that you will surely come across when trying out the various quick shortcuts and it is related to the virtual "Camera" switch that fails to function properly, so you will have to keep on using the dedicated physical button.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The GUI looks great and the layout is nice, but the ads and lack of customization options for the tile positions make it lose a bit. |
Function7
There are some useful shortcuts inside Quick Toggles, but others could be added and there is also the matter of the unusable "Camera" tile. |
Security10
The application doesn't pose any risks as it looks only in the system areas it is supposed to and leaves alone the secure information stored onto the phone. |
Battery7
This utility needs quite a bit of power to function correctly, so the power consumption keeps the battery usage at above average levels. |
Price9
All the functions can be accessed and used freely, but the users will have to endure a virtually endless stream of advertisements. |
Compatibility8
Those who want to take Quick Toggles for a test drive can do so only on Windows Phone 8.1 or higher handsets. |
