Tile Lite 1.0.0.0

Access the most important settings of your Windows Phone from a single place
Most users are constantly looking to improve the accessibility to various features of their devices and in the case of Windows Phone devices this can be done quite easily, thanks to the numerous dedicated applications that were created for such purposes.

Tile Lite is a utility that aims to make it possible for every user to get to some of the most commonly accessed areas of the system settings in a really simple manner.

Customizable interface, with a simple and practical layout

This app has a GUI that can be adapted to your needs with a few taps, as it supports modifications for the background, the interface fonts and also for the status icons it displays inside the home screen. The preview area for the transformed tiles is generous and allows a close-up examination.

The graphics are quite nicely designed, with a modern look and sometimes, depending on the modifications you choose, the application tile that you pin to the Start screen can have a retro feel to it. Only the flashing adverts and occasional prompts to rate and review the app spoil some of the fun.

Carry out in-depth modifications for the medium and wide tiles

With Tile Lite you will be able to make sure the settings sections for wireless, cellular, Bluetooth, airplane mode, GPS and lock screen are always at hand, without having to go through the main system settings menu to find them.

The appearance of the Start screen tile can be customized in detail and you have the possibility to choose different background colors, choose relevant images with optional masks from those built-in the app and also add text content onto the tiles.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
 

The looks of this application are quite interesting and it has a great advantage as it allows the modification of the GUI. The graphics used on the tiles are well designed and the only annoyance is represented by the advertisements shown in every corner of the app.

Function7
 

Tile Lite provides a neat way of accessing some important settings of the system and the detailed customizations it offers work well in its advantage. Unfortunately, the items listed inside the app cannot be moved or modified to add other instead or alongside the existing ones.

Security7
 

The utility needs to access some secure areas of the system for good reason, but it looks into others, like the phone and owner identities, phone dialer or multimedia libraries without an evident relation to the actual functionality.

Battery8
 

This app needs an average amount of power to run well on supported devices, so the battery usage will be preserved in the moderate range most of the time.

Price8
 

Tile Lite serves well its purpose and manages to save a few taps for its users, but, besides the visual tile modifications there is a rather limited range of features that make it lose a bit of value.

Compatibility8
 

The more recent handsets, powered by Windows Phone 8 and above are able to run this app without any issues, as it only needs a standard screen resolution of at least 480 by 800 pixels.
