Shortcuts 2.0.0.0
Shortcuts is a utility that brings a wide range of app tiles and a lot of customization possibilities and it is sure to fit the bill for a good deal of Windows Phone users.
Cool looking front-end with a few adjustments in store
This application brings some really nice looking graphics, with a beautiful design and many customization options for tile icons, backgrounds and more.
There are several screen that you can fill with app or system settings shortcuts and browsing through all the menus and items is fluent, without any delays or other kind of glitches.
The tiles you have at your fingertips have a neat design, with clear and crisp graphics, but there is a letdown from the visual perspective and it is represented by the advertisement banners that are constantly changing.
Fill several screen with custom shortcuts
With Shortcuts you can create a lot of quick links that will be available from inside the application. You can add the respective tiles onto any of the pages the utility puts at your disposal.
Adding new items onto any screen is done in an intuitive manner and you have the possibility to choose the desired action and create shortcuts for phone calls, SMS or email messages, contacts, online webpages and many more.
A flashlight tool is included in the package and you can pin tiles for sharing your status, opening the marketplace, Bing maps, starting a search, as well as launching a certain app or system configurations.
Set the tile behavior and edit the app's options
For every shortcut you create with this utility you will be able to configure its behavior and also tweak the appearance of the corresponding tile. Custom background colors and labels can be selected and added, while the launching options you can choose to activate are quite a few.
Plenty of customizations await for you to configure them from the "Settings" area and you will be able to choose the visual adjustments, set up the shortcut launching or the live tile options. The last mentioned section refers to the Start screen tile and, unfortunately, that shortcut remains static at all times.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The very nice appearance of this utility is appealing and practical in the same time, but the adverts spoil some of the fun. |
Function9
The application offers a lot of customization options, but doesn't allow pinning tiles directly to the Start screen. |
Security8
For some reason, the app needs to access the owner and phone identity areas, even if these seem to have no connection with its features. |
Battery1
Shortcuts drains the battery at an accelerated rate, so the battery will discharge completely very soon if the app is used constantly. |
Price9
Overall an app well worth a try, this tool provides a good deal of features for free, but it loses a bit because it asks for money to remove the ads. |
Compatibility9
Those with more recent Windows Phone powered devices will be able to install and run Shortcuts, as it needs version 8 and above of the operating system. |
