Out of ten launches, the app crashed maybe one time.
In using Phone Pins, I did experience a few stability issues when launching the app, but nothing mission critical. Tapping one of the Phone Pins' Live Tile immediately launches the phone dialer for that particular number. From there, all that is needed is to arrange the Live Tile to your liking on the Start Screen. Button controls are located beside each number that allows you to send a text message to that number, call that number or pin it to the Start Screen. Just tap the contact for the telephone number and a listing of every phone number associated with that contact is displayed. The process to pin a phone number is simple. You can have the app continue to run or immediately exit after the phone call. The General Settings include options for the app's theme (system, light or dark) and how you would like the app to react once the call is made. These options include:Ĭonfiguration options cover displaying contacts names, phone numbers, pictures, number type and custom text. The Pin Themes options establish the appearance of the Live Tile. These settings cover two broad areas that include Pin Themes and General Settings.
The menu button sitting in the upper left corner of the primary display holds options to unlock the full app, view the About Screen and access the app's settings. Phone Pins also supports dual-SIM phones. Additionally, if you need to review or manage the contacts already pinned, just swipe to the left to view all your pinned phone numbers. You can scroll through the contacts, choose the location (SIM or locally stored) to look for contacts and filter the contacts by theme. When you launch Phone Pins, it populates the primary screen with your contact listing.
