Wallpaper HD+ 3.0.0.413
Windows Phone users have at their disposal a good assortment of applications that provide a variety of customizations and Wallpaper HD+ is one of them. Simple to work with and containing a lot of beautiful backgrounds, this app tries to gain a top spot among the tools in its category.
Simple interface, with a good organization of the content
As soon as you open this application you will be introduced to the gallery that contains the hottest wallpapers and you can browse through them to find and download the ones you fancy keeping on your phone.
The navigation is pretty smooth, except for the fact that in order to move to the next set of images you will have to swipe horizontally, which is rather uncommon for this kind of app, as most of them have accustomed users with the vertical scroll.
The wallpapers are neatly stacked in several categories to ease your browsing, but the ever-present advertisement banners, accompanied by insistent prompts to rate the app spoil some of the good feel of the utility.
Easily search and download the favorite pictures
Loading pictures to view them up close takes only one tap and a few moments of waiting until the photo is fetched because all the content is taken from the online database. Equally effortless is the download procedure, which starts as soon as you tap the download button at the bottom of the screen.
The search engine is effective and yields pretty accurate results, so you will be able to find some really impressive images to use on your Windows Phone in a relatively short time. However, you should note that there is a functional limitation in effect, namely only 50 photos from each section can be downloaded.
The numerous categories under which the background wallpapers are arranged make it a lot easier to find by hand some wallpapers to keep. On the downside, the selected images cannot be zoomed and the quality of many photos is questionable.
