Pros & Cons:
Pros
- Easy Setup.
- Lots of customization options.
Cons
- A bit distracting on the screen.
Features:
Glow Tiles is a live wallpaper with a lot of options. It can be used on any size screen, so this is a great choice for a phone or tablet.
In the settings screen, you can choose everything from which colors the tiles will be, to how fast they rotate and which transition effects the program uses, which means there is a lot of control here to get the exact look and feel you’re looking for. I like this live wallpaper, since many of them tend to be graphics-heavy, with a lot of animations moving around the screen. This is a nice, bold graphic look that is a bit more generic, which is nice. However, because it is a bold graphic, it can also be a bit distracting behind your icons and widgets. However, that is more of a personal taste thing, since I get easily distracted by shiny things.

Usefulness:
This is more of an eye-candy app than one that does something useful, however, if you’re looking for a live wallpaper that doesn’t have characters or a specific “theme” this is a good option, especially since you can customize the colors and how the wallpaper works.
Ease of Use:
I found it incredibly easy to set up and use this live wallpaper. The settings menu is pretty self-explanatory, and I had it customized and running in about a minute.
Frequently Used:
Considering the wallpaper is something you see on your device every day, every time you use it, it’s an important part of the experience. I like this option, since it is very much a nice way to have the benefits of a live wallpaper experience without feeling like you have to commit to some kind of statement or franchise, like “space” or “nature”.
Interface:
Aside from the background you create, there is only one screen of settings, and once you get it the way you want it, you don’t have to do anything except enjoy the wallpaper. I like that the app has a way to see what the effect will be before you commit to it, so you don’t have to constantly open and close the settings page to tweak. You can run it once, get it the way you like it, then forget about it.
