Start Toggles Lite 4.1.0.0
On Windows Phone devices there are some areas of the system which users need to visit more often, sometimes on a regular basis and in order to have them at hand, the logical choice is to pin a tile for that function or app on the Start screen.
To help them in this respect, a number of specialized utilities have been developed and among them you can find and try one suggestively called Start Toggles Lite.
Straightforward interface, made for ease of use
This utility is evidently focusing on practical use and functionality rather than on good looks, as it has common interface, without any graphical elements to stand out.
The system tiles that appear inside the home screen are neatly designed, with clear graphics and text labels that become visible after a few seconds, as all these shortcuts 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 full screen advertisements that appear from time to time.
Single tap action for pinning the tiles
The utility is extremely easy to use and offers a great convenience when it comes to getting quickly to the lock screen, Bluetooth or location settings, as well as to many other modules often visited for making all sorts of adjustments.
By pressing the tiles shown in the various sections of Start Toggles Lite you will not access the respective system areas, instead a shortcut to that location will be created onto the Start screen and only if you tap that tile you will gain access to the configuration area you are looking for.
Compared to similar tools, this app has a small number of items in store for you to pin for faster access, so the phone settings are limited to WiFi, Bluetooth, network and airplane mode. The system settings consist of the screen rotation, battery saver, lock screen, email and accounts configurations
A few extras are include in the "Other settings" section and these will help you start a query with Bing or Cortana, depending on the OS flavor on your device, compose a new email message or access the location services system area.
