The Nokia Ovi Store is your one-stop shop for the latest in apps, tools, themes and utilities and is on a steady path to release up to 500 new pieces of content a week. One thing is for sure, the releases keep on coming, with new apps for printing, timing, navigation and wireless networking all arriving this week. Read on for our run-down of the latest apps on Ovi Store.
Touchy Feely Stopwatch
Type: Sports
Price: £1.50
Size: 0.03MB
Designed to take advantage of touchscreen Nokias like the 5800 XpressMusic, Touchy Feely Stopwatch is a fully featured stopwatch app with big, colourful 'buttons' for the main functions, The app supports multiple and split lap times and can store up to 400 results in memory. Should you accidentally turn the phone off (e.g. by dropping it) the app will automatically save its state and resume timing accurately on power-up.
Auto WeFi
Type: Utilities
Price: Free
Size: 0.672MB
AutoWeFi takes the slog out of connecting to Wi-Fi access points by using a database of Wi-Fi hotspot locations to automatically hook you up to the cheapest, most reliable connection nearby. The app is community driven and you can contribute hotspot info to help fellow users.
GoMobiPrint
Type: Utilities
Price: £4
Size: 0.156MB
Claiming to solve the 'snapped but trapped' problem of mobile photos ending up stuck on your phone forever. GoMoBiPrint makes it a snap (ho ho) to send pics to compatible printers via Bluetooth. It's a neat little app that works well enough but we have to query whether it's worth £4 or not?
NavFun Pro
Type: City Guides/Maps
Price: £17.99
Size: 0.24MB
NavFun Pro takes Google Maps and adds a host of geocaching and navigation tools. You can hook up a GPS receiver (or use one built in to your Nokia) and use the app to record your tracks or download other people's tracks to follow yourself. NavFun Pro lets you set waypoints, export your location to a web page, search for local businesses and weather data and even download map data for use while off the grid. The app also comes with speed camera detection for Europe, USA, Canada, Taiwan and Brazil.
Before you can download any of these apps you'll need to register your device with Ovi Store, which also entitles you to updates and message alerts from Nokia and is a great way of keeping abreast of what's going on at the Ovi Store.
