5Check local listings and weather
Here and now Review
by on December 10, 2010
This app has been created by Nokia and offers easy-to-use web services related to your current location as determined by the GPS chip in your mobile phone. You’re able to check the weather where you are at a glance as well as get other local information such as movie times or details of local restaurants.
It’s not just restricted to your current location though, you can search for information on anywhere you choose. You can also get information on local events too and we were pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of this information – a local market was listed, for example, as well as several good local restaurants.
We clicked on the name of a local museum and we were given a description as well as basic contact information. We expect you’d be able to phone from the app, but the phone information didn’t show properly. You are, however, able to click the map icon on any local location to be taken directly to the Nokia map app. This all works exceedingly well as is how local information should be presented. What’s more, it’s far more comprehensive and effective than if you just searched in Google.

iPhone
Ragdoll Blaster 3
The iOS equivalent of a plain cheese sandwich: does the job, but it won't linger in the memory afterwards.
iPhone
Puckerz
One for those with a careless bent, and perfect for when you want to play a game but not do any thinking.
iPad
Pulse: Volume One
Stylish, absorbing and challenging, but needs Game Center support and an injection of longevity and jolly.
iPad
Procreate
Some hugely impressive tools and an interface ideal for artists make this a great painting app.
iPhone
Print n share
Difficult to set up, but once you’ve got it working, it offers a great range of print options.
iPad
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within HD
Control issues aside, Warrior Within really is a magnificent sequel.

Vivi In Stile - Peroni
Full of style and a surprising amount of substance

iPhone
pxl.
The interface feels a bit out of place on iOS, but it’s a fun app, and produces interesting results.
Puzzlejuice
Absurdly challenging, sometimes brutal, but frequently brilliant (especially on the iPad); just be aware of what you’re letting yourself in for. (Sob.)
