Shortcuts4All 3.1.6.2
Shortcuts4All is one of the specialized tools that were designed particularly for this purpose and it provides a simple way of pinning commonly used shortcuts to the Start screen, but is also features some most useful tile editing functions.
Pleasant and practical front-end
This application brings some really nice looking graphics, with a beautiful design and many customization options for tile icons, backgrounds and more.
The category shortcuts that appear inside the home screen are neatly designed, with clear graphics and text labels that become visible after a few seconds, as these tiles are animated.
Navigating among the few areas of the app is fluent and without any issues, the main source of discontent you will encounter being the advertisement banners that are a constant presence. A one-time prompt to rate and review Shortcuts4All will appear after a few uses.
Pick the type of tile you want to make and tweak it
Compared to similar tools, this application has a rather extensive list of applications that are commonly installed by Windows Phone users. The utility is also very well equipped to provide quick access to system features and areas, covering a wide range of tools.
Before adding a fresh tile, Shortcuts4All enables you to customize the style by assigning a different icon, custom backgrounds for the front and back sides when making flip tiles and a lot more.
The tile types you can create are neatly structured into several categories and organized alphabetically, so it is a breeze to find an item and add the corresponding shortcut on the Start screen.
Extra options at a glance
There are plenty of different icons at your disposal for personalizing the tiles, you can add custom texts on them and a great feature of this utility is the ability to create multiple tiles. Unfortunately, some layouts are locked and some functions also, while removing these restrictions requires payment.
Note tiles and shortcuts for installed applications can be put together in a similar manner, as Shortcuts4All contains a pretty good list if utilities you might already have onto your Windows Phone.
The extensive "Settings" menu of the app makes it possible for you to further customize the items you create, by activating the status indicator and choosing the behavior of some shortcuts.
