Here we pick our top six favourite apps of the year, tell you why they’re great and even highlight them with a video.
Swype
Swype is an app for texting, and it replaces the standard QWERTY keypad on your Nokia N8 or Nokia C7. Instead of pressing individual keys, with Swype you simply press the first button, and then swipe your finger across all the others, until you’ve traced a word.
McDonalds Finder
McDonald’s Finder is a free app that uses your Nokia’s built-in GPS skills to pinpoint your nearest McDonald’s restaurant. It’s official and everything – perfect for fast food loving Nokia fans. You’ll even be able to pick the best McDonalds for your needs – with the app informing you whether restaurants have baby changing facilities, the capabilities to host parties, drive thrus and much more.
Nokia Internet Radio
Nokia Internet Radio is a great app that lets you listen to the radio from all over the world. With an unimaginable amount of stations on offer, if it’s diversity you’re looking for or music from somewhere out of the UK, download Nokia Internet Radio and give it a go.

Skyfire Mobile Browser
Skyfire is not just a new web browser, it’s a transformational experience, bringing virtually every single web page – however crammed with Flash, Java (or even Silverlight) – to your mobile phone in glorious, functional detail. The trick is that your phone is not actually doing the surfing. Skyfire’s servers are visiting the pages you request, rendering them using Mozilla’s Gecko engine, then compressing and firing the pages over to the Skyfire application on your phone.

Tesco Grocery App
The Tesco Groceries app really couldn’t be simpler. It does its job incredibly well, is easy to use and best of all, means you can do your shopping – or edit an existing shopping list – all from the comfort of your armchair.
Orange Wednesdays
The Orange Wednesdays app is similar to its cinema namesake, offering 2 for 1 cinema tickets and all you’ll need to see the latest films at your local cinema. Working in perfect harmony with your Nokia, it’s also possible to send details of the film you want to see to a friend, straight from the app itself.
