Many have wanted Shazam to come to MeeGo-Harmattan, and in true Maemo Community fashion, devs make alternatives. This is exactly what Eyrie is. Eyrie will listen to what music you’re playing, and after recording a 30 second sound clip, detects what the song is. It uses the EchoNest library, an open-source way of detecting a [...]
We demoed the original PAC-MAN game in #180 and here is the Championship Edition DX. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/05/13/lumiappaday-180-pac-man-demoed-on-the-nokia-lumia-800-xboxlive/ As you’ll see in the video, it’s an interesting twist to the original. First the controls are much improved for touch – no more virtual joystick, just flick the direction you want. There’s also multitouch gestures to activate the [...]
Let me start by saying this is a great game that you’re going to need to try out! If you liked Dalton that we demoed on the N9, this is like that. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/01/27/n9apps-dalton-the-awesome-demoed-on-the-nokia-n9/ This is quite simply, a running game called Running Dude. The principle is simple – just run and jump. But it’s really [...]

Just a minor heads-up- the recently released unofficial whatsapp client for Meego has gotten it’s first Update mostly fixing some minor bugs that users would face while signing in. Changelog includes: Added support for displaying received Emoji Fixed interpreting login failure as a connection error, resulting in reconnect loop then segmentation fault Fixed crash during sync because of [...]
I said one a week, so am pushing this back a week. This is just awesome! I’ve used AccuWeather since I first got my N9, mainly as it integrated with the Events screen. I had tried MeeCast, and really liked the UI, but the integration with Events screen made AccuWeather the better option. For some [...]
Cliffed is a reaction style race to the bottom. Your guy can’t jump so when he comes across a boulder, he must go all the way around back to the other side to get at the gap in the floor. Hurry though because if you fall our of frame (i.e. the top bit catches [...]
This is an app to keep track of news from Al Jazeera. There is a written portion of news but what this would be most useful for is to stream the video feeds. #186) Al Jazeera Price: Free Link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/apps/e1897733-6934-45a1-9385-e6919ff2d14e Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxRLoJJKLo8&feature=youtu.be Developer Blurb: Now you can keep up to date with the latest news from [...]
Not to be outdone by the release of it’s unofficial Meego client whatsapp for WIndows Phone has been updated to the big two-O, (honestly I cheated on my #SmartPhoneLiteWeek a bit today cause I had to upload some images of a document- and the Ashas camera is unbearable), as I was using the Lumia I spotted [...]
Hey, this is Hardboiled Pinball – a very simple pinball game. In the demo that I recorded a while ago, I didn’t realise that landscape view was available in settings ( I had wondered why the game started in landscape and then showed a portrait gameplay). I advise you to switch to landscape as [...]
Just in time for the UEFA Champions League final this weekend, InfoMedia has launched the official Nokia app for Chelsea FC. There is huge overlap between the Chelsea FC fan base and Nokia use, and of course InfoMedia has a pretty strong history with Chelsea, as it developed the award winning iPhone app: Press Release: [...]
Dino Parade is like the Bye Bye Brain series except that it’s with Dinosaurs. Whilst the concept is similar, it’s still a nice and refreshing game to play. To defend yourself against dinosaurs, you have to use a range of household appliances. You’ll have to balance out which appliances to get, or which current ones [...]
The wait is over, go download it now! http://www.wazapp.im/ Nothing else to add really. Update: I felt bad about calling those two sentences a post so I’d just like to add that unfortunately I won’t be able to try this out until my #SmartPhoneLiteWeek is over; so enjoy.
Here Camb078 demoes ‘Task Widgets’ on the Nokia N8 with Belle (the multitasking looks odd now that we’ve seen FP1 no?) Anyway, what you can see in the above screenshot is the widget in action. It looks like the multitasker from N9 as that’s the point of the app – to show you your running [...]
Here is a demo of the Face Unlock app, Facelock for Nokia N9. This isn’t new to Nokias – at least 2 Nokia Worlds ago I remember this app winning the dev contest for this idea and implementation. I’m not sure how this will work with pictures, if like ICS on Android it might be [...]
Tiki Towers is a great, addictive little puzzle game. You have to build structures (towers/bridges etc) for your monkeys to climb, get the bananas and reach their destination. Your building material at the start is bamboo but you’ll also get coconut and vines. The amount of material you have is limited so create wisely. It [...]
I know, the name is pathetic. If you have a better idea, let me know. Anyway, so I’ve brought to your attention an app called Home Screen Settings. It is truly the greatest home screen hacking tool out! Currently, it can; Unlock/Lock devices orientation Remove the weather widget from events view Show only white text [...]
Somewhat of an odd shooting game I came across. It’s a mix between classic arcade shooting style with some 3D-esque environment. As noted in the review comments, it’s pretty much Space Harrier from the Sega Mega Drive. #182) Gridrunner Girl Price: £0.79 Link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/apps/19c6d4f1-ee63-e011-81d2-78e7d1fa76f8 Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_JD7mIfzX0 Developer Blurb: classic arcade space shooter action meets [...]
Just a heads up. There’s now 90,000 Apps for WP marketplace. Rafe has the usual breakdown of the details as always: http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/news/item/14819_Windows_Phone_Marketplace_pass.php This makes it a total of (probably?) over 200,000 apps available collectively for all Nokia devices, were we to measure it like that – I mean, Nokia Store is itself a collection of [...]
Its been way too long since my last N9Apps post. I am going to try to do at least one a week. Now today’s app is called Easy Answer. It’s another one of those apps that just makes the N9 easier to use. What does it do? It runs in the background (if enabled) to [...]
So this is Flight Control – it’s what the Airport game that I’ve demoed on the N900 and N9 is based from. The gameplay is thus about getting the planes to the right landing tracks. Big planes go on the longer runway, the little one on the little runway. You’ll also notice a H. That’s [...]
