A mobile phone is invaluable on a night out for meeting up, arranging where to go and for getting hold of a cab should you have one too many. Here are a selection of Nokia apps that can help you make the most of a night on the town.
Fonefood
Price: £Free
Size: 0.057MB
Fancy a meal out? Fonefood is a free app from Lastminute.com that can find you somewhere to chow down. The app pinpoints your location using GPS then trawls through Lastminute’s database to presents you with a selection of cafes, restaurants and takeaways in that locale. As well as checking out the websites of anywhere you find, you can often view menus and reserve tables too.
BandFan
Price: £1.50
Size: 0.803MB
BandFan can search your local listings (after pinning down your GPS coordinates) for live music or club nights that match your interests. Tell it your favourite artists or types of music and BandFan will sniff them out – you need never miss a gig again.
Midomi Music Search
Price: £4.00
Size: 0.739MB
There is nothing worse than hearing a cracking tune in a club or a bar and not being able to find out what it is. None of your mates have a clue and the DJ is too busy sucking in his cheeks and fiddling with his decks to talk to mere mortals. Midomi Music Search will come to the rescue – just let the app ‘listen’ to a few seconds of the tune and it will toddle off and find out what it is. No internet connection in the club? No problem, Midomi will just wait until you have a signal and check later on. You don’t even need to have your phone on you when the music is playing – you can get good result just by humming into it.
Locle
Price: £ 1.00
Size: 0.038 MB
Off out for the evening somewhere unfamiliar, or need to meet your mates but haven’t actually got around to arranging whereabouts? Locle could be just the thing. Sign up to the service and then persuade your social network-using buddies to do the same. When you are out and about, Locle will show your location and that of your chums on a scrollable map. Thankfully, your coordinates are protected so you aren’t just broadcasting your location to any stalkers in the vicinity.
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.
