System View 2.0.2.0
In the case of Windows Phone handsets, some information is available via several modules users can access from the "Settings" area. Nonetheless, for those who are seeking to get more details, the best way would be by trying an app like System View.
Well organized front-end for ease of access
The application offers you a pretty simple GUI, with nice graphics inside the main screen. The numerous categories inside which the info is kept are easy to reach from the dedicated list and going through those modules is pretty fluent, without lags or other kind of flaws.
In some areas you will have to press the "Refresh" button to view the latest info updates, but for the most part the details are displayed promptly.
There is, however, a source of discontent that appears in most areas of the app and it is represented by some animated advertisements, which keep on changing in the lower side of the screen.
Browse the system info on the fly
System View enables you to check out a lot of details at a glance by simply opening any of the categories listed inside the main screen.
Besides the general info, location details and some sensor data, the application offers you some pretty useful extras, like a flashlight tool or multimedia content specific information. Thus, you can view how many pictures, songs or playlists are stored inside your photo and media folders.
Checking out the storage usage and capacity, as well as the network and connectivity details are one tap away inside System View. Regional data and several device IDs can be accessed with ease, as this info is also collected and displayed by this utility.
Quick access to the favorite system information areas
This app comes with a pretty neat feature that allows you to select from inside each category all the entries you are most interested in, to have them included in a separate area. Thus, you can have in the "Favorite" screen only the details you look for on a regular basis.
Should you care to remove any of these entries, simply tap the star shown next to each of them and the respective filed will be taken out on the spot.
