Wallpapers 2015 1.1.0.0
For owners of Windows Phone handsets an application called Wallpapers 2015 awaits to be discovered and make its users happy by providing a wide variety of pictures to download and use on the Start or lock screens.
Neatly structured layout
As soon as you open this application you will be introduced to a random category of wallpapers and you can easily go through them to find and save the ones you fancy keeping and using on your phone.
The graphics are decent and moving around the numerous sections and images of different types and sizes is done smoothly and without any visible lags.
Unfortunately, there are some flashing ad banners pinned to the top of the screen and they appear everywhere inside the application. Even more annoying are the very frequent prompts to try out new apps or to rate and review Wallpapers 2015.
Go through categories or search cool images
The high quality wallpapers are well organized under several relevant categories, to make them easier to browse. The menu that reveals all these collections is shown in the left side of the screen and activating it needs only one tap on the corresponding button from the main menu.
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.
Preview images and save them on the fly
Loading pictures to view them up close takes a single tap and a few moments of waiting until the photo is fetched because Wallpapers 2015 retrieves all the content from the online database.
Equally effortless is the download procedure, which starts as soon as you press the download button from the menu hosted at the bottom of the screen.
A great addition to the feature set is the lock screen preview, which will enable you to see exactly how the respective picture will look like onto your phone when it is locked. Also, you can change the lock screen photo with one tap, as long as you allow the app to be the default image provider when you are prompted to do so.
In case you want to make a personal collection of wallpapers and keep them inside the utility, you can use the "Favorites" button to mark as such the preferred images and then access them from the dedicated section of the app.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The app has a nice look mainly thanks to the content it displays, but the advertisements and prompts to evaluate the app or install other utilities are very annoying. |
Function8
The wallpapers are well organized under numerous relevant categories and the search engine yields good results, but it loses some points due to the numerous pauses in loading the pics. |
Security8
As this application should only seek for images and save them, it is rather odd that it has to have access to user and phone identities. |
Battery1
The utility discharges the battery at an alarming rate, so using it for a couple of hours will completely drain the power. |
Price8
The quality of the wallpapers and the fact that they can be saved freely are big pluses, but enduring hordes of ads and prompts is the price users have to pay. |
Compatibility9
The utility runs well on most modern Windows Phone powered devices, since it needs version 8 and higher of the operating system. |
