Apps only thread — Nokia N95 and N95 8GB — All About Symbian Forum Archive

Just thought Id start a useful thread about apps. I know theres some already, but Id like to have a decent one that doesnt tail off into discussion about apps.

So, could people please do the following:

Post a useful app with -

Link

What it does, as good as description as possible so it saves people asking.

Is it free/payware etc.

And not to post unless its got the above in it. If you want to ask a question about an app, make another thread and ask. That way a really useful thread could be made without the scattered bits of info as is the case now. And perhaps it could be stickied.

My apps -

Totally free.

Basically tetris for the S60 platform.

Free.

These applications have earned a permanent place on my N95:

Navicore

Full-featured navigation program. Supports points of interest (including your own) and the N95's internal GPS receiver. See bartmanekul's review of a range of satnav applications in another thread.

Opera

Internet browser. More powerful than the N95's browser, although the two don't coexist very happily.

Mobireader

An e-book reader. Dictionaries, novels and reference works are available in Mobipocket format, and you can use a free PC application to create your own e-books.
