Nokia Pulse Beta Discontinued, Service Ending August 30th

One of Nokia Beta Labs’ longer trials, Nokia Pulse has just been axed. The app was a social location based service were phoot updates and locations could be shared with friends and family.

Earlier this year updates and support for the Symbian and Meego clients were ended, and as of August 30th the whole service will end.

It’s a shame as the app was pretty fun to use before they changed the layout to allow only single posts without replies. (it was a great alternative to WP rooms as it didn’t have a limit on the number of people in it, plus photos were shared in stream).

We have made the decision to conclude the Nokia Pulse beta trial on August 30. After that date you will no longer be able to access your Pulse conversations and friends.

Concluding the Nokia Pulse trial was a decision to help us focus on our core location experiences around HERE. We truly appreciate the role the beta trial members have played in providing feedback on Nokia Pulse, enabling us to learn from it as our HERE experiences further evolve.

Thank you for using and contributing to Nokia Pulse. We are very grateful for your feedback, suggestions and insights.

– The Nokia Pulse team

The service has been discontinued in order to focus more on the “core location service and HERE”, whatever that means.
