Nokia N96 App Review – Waze

Name: Waze

Description: GPS Navigation Software

Summary: Theres plenty of Navigation software avaible on the market but they can take up a lot of space or you can go with an online based one like google maps, but that dosen’t take into account traffic,roadworks ect.. so what can you use. Waze is a navigation software for all kinds of devices but only a few symbian devices but luckily the Nokia N96 is one of the symbian phones that it works on. Waze is like no other navigation software because what it will do is find your location and then you input your destination and it will direct you, but if another Waze user is stuck in traffic or there’s road works or a policeman along your route then waze will automatically redirect you.

Overview: Theres one fatal flaw with Waze and that is that it need more users to make it more accurate, but if they are lucky then it will be a really handy application. First Waze is so far only active in the US but theres no reason it can’t be used everywhere else. Waze is a free application be dose want you to register and you have to download the application on your phone. Waze works perfectly and it would be great if everyone dose there part. Read more

Nokia N96 App Review – mp3tools

Name: mp3tools

Description: Mp3 Editor

Summary: Remember back in the old days before camera’s on phones and the two best features of a phone where its games and its ringtones (imagine having a nokia N96 then). Back then this application would have probably been the most used application, but now-a-days this application doesn’t look that special however looks can be deceiving. mp3tools is an application that can cut any mp3 in to a ringtone size and it will save the file in the same directory as the mp3, but then it can also join the any mp3 so you can make all kinds of different tones and give you the chance to make the perfect ringtone. mp3tools also has lots of little feature like bookmarks and tag editor as well as a bunch of settings.

Overview: I think this is a Chinese application that was translated to English, so there could be some complications. mp3tools doesn’t actually work that well like the mp3 player doesn’t seem to work and it asks to be allowed to anything which is so annoying. mp3tools is a free application so I think that makes it the first free ringtone editor and the software is pretty good and there is settings for different phones so maybe messing around with them will get the mp3 player working.

Nokia N96 App Review – N Lighter

Name: N Lighter

Description: Fire Animation

Summary: I hope that lots of people take interest in this animation because it could be the start of something new. If you remember when some themes came out for the nokia n96 that used a clock animation on the screen saver it was good but this was actually the first information based screen saver for the nokia n96. N Lighter is an application that displays a flame which seems to react to movements around it but that could just be my imagination because nobody has said anything about it. The application is just a total gimmick but this gimmick comes in a .swf which is the same file type as the clock screen saver so potentially you have a really cool screen saver.

Overview: Now in all fairness it has the potential to be a really cool screen saver but it only worked right once because your have to press something to start it and when you do that the phone goes back to its normal display. I’m hoping someone creates on that starts straight away but we’ll have to see if anyone actually does. N Lighter is designed for the S60v5 but it works all the same, N Lighter is also free so you all can check it out and remember that it is a beta so it could be getting better. Read more
