Settings tile pro 3.1.0.0
Settings tile pro is one of the applications that were built in response to this need and it will enable you to give a really nice and functional look to your Windows Phone powered handset.
Friendly and easy to use interface
This application is all about practicality and thus offers a clean layout, well organized and with every feature and command conveniently placed inside the several sections at your disposal.
Navigating among the few areas of the utility is fluent and without any issues, the main source of discontent you will encounter being the advertisement banners that are a constant presence.
The preview area is clean and offers a very good perspective of how the fresh tile will look like after the customization is applied.
Pick the setting and tweak the tile
The utility enables you to easily add the system settings and app tiles to the Start screen by simply flicking a switch in the main screen. But things are a bit more complicated in the trial version, as you cannot do this for any item except for the "All page settings" module.
On the other hand, the appearance of every tile can be customized in detail and you have the possibility to choose different background colors, choose relevant images with optional masks from those built-in the app and also add text content onto the tiles.
The text options are also well represented, so the tile title can appear in any color you want, while the position of the label can be changed on both vertical and horizontal axes.
Selecting a different font type and size are easy to do also, while all the modifications can be examined up close from the "Preview" section of Settings tile pro.
View active settings and access them on the fly
The only shortcut you can customize and actually pin to the Start screen allows you to access a few connectivity related system areas, namely the WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular+SIM and Airplane mode settings.
When tapping the tile you will see the status for each of these functions, while pressing any of their corresponding buttons will take you straight to the configuration areas.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
This application has a decent look and offers a smooth navigation among its modules, but the adverts take away some of the good feel of the interface. |
Function9
The utility offers a decent set of shortcuts and it includes some handy tile customization options on the side that earn it a lot of points here. |
Security9
A fairly well-behaved app, Settings tile pro mostly looks into system areas that are related to its functionality. |
Battery6
The utility needs a consistent amount of power to run, so the battery usage reaches high levels at all times. |
Price8
This app serves well its purpose and manages to save a few taps for its users, but unlocking all features and removing ads requires a purchase. |

Tailored for the more recent devices, this application doesn't have any special requirements and runs on any handset powered by Windows Phone 7.5 and above. |
