System Settings 1.0.0.2
Windows Phone users in particular may have a difficult time when it comes to personalizing their handsets as the operating system has lots of limitations in this respect, but there are, nonetheless, some tools that can help to a certain extent and System Settings is one of them.
Practical front-end, with average graphics
This application comes with a relatively simple look, easy to use and featuring some nice background images as wallpapers for the main screen.
The design is fairly common and the focus is on functionality, so as to make the information easier to read and the tiles quickly accessible from their corresponding areas.
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.
A dozen shortcuts ready for pinning
System Settings comes with a nice set of tiles that you can go through and select the ones that you would like to have at hand, on the Start screen of your Windows Phone.
Adding them to that area is pretty straightforward, as all you have to do is press for a couple of seconds on any of the shortcuts to reveal the button that sends them immediately to the Start menu.
Detailed system information at a glance
With the help of this application you will be able to check out some of the hardware and software characteristics of your mobile phone right on the spot.
The first area you might want to visit is the "General" screen where all the details concerning the device's name, manufacturer, operating system and firmware versions, memory and battery status are on display
Another module of System Settings offers you some basic details regarding the screen resolution, size and pixel density. Unfortunately, all this information cannot be copied or shared, which would be really useful.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
This app has a decent look and offers a smooth navigation among its modules, but the full screen adverts take away some of the good feel of the interface. |
Function7
The shortcuts made available by System Settings are not too many, but some can be really useful, just like the device info it provides. |
Security10
The utility can be installed and used without any worries, as it leaves untouched all the sensitive system areas unrelated to its functionality. |
Battery8
The relatively reduced power consumption rarely peaks at moderate levels while the application is running, so the battery usage is well within normal limits. |
Price8
A simple and straight forward app that offers a bit of essential system information and some handy shortcuts for the Start screen, this tool has a good value overall. |
Compatibility8
The target platforms for this utility are Windows Phone 8 and above, while the device it runs on should have a screen resolution of at least 480 by 800 pixels. |
