How do I activate the live tile on the WPcentral app?

The settings icon is on the initial start screen Winterfang. (Top next to refresh)

Pan right to live tile settings (after preferences) :)

Aja! not available on the full version...

Does the full version offer that much features? I don't know if it's worth it to update the app just for a live tile.

I thought they were both the same apart from the ads. Sorry Winterfang.
I bought it when it first came out, it was only 79p. :)

It's one of the few apps I have pinned to my start, worth the price.

Live tile and podcast support in paid and in the future possibly forums and article commenting, the latter will come before forum access (if they come at all).

I still don't have live tiles =(
Isn't it spinning with the latest review ? (Infinite Flight) Mine is. And i got a toast for that review too with on tile notification.

Yo've definately turned live tile and notifications on ? because it's working fine here Winterfang.

Now it works, I had live tile on but no notifications, I don't like notifications that much though. I added notifications and took it out of the title screen and ad it again. Does the tile show pictures sometimes or just text?

It can show pictures too if they want Winterfang, but since Mango I haven't seen them using any.

Oh come on, a great app like that for $0.99 / 79p just because it has no current live tile picture ?

LOL you cheapskate. ;)

Well you have donated a little reward to Jay for all his continuing hard work on the app, that's the most important thing Winterfang.

You'll also get the future comments and forum integration that may not be in the free version. :)

Well I used to click the ads on the free versions. Forum integration is a nice one though, I browse the forum in IE9 a lot. I feel better now.
