Dilbert heads to your mobile

Some applications do one thing really well. Some apps do lots of things quite nicely. The recently added Dilbert app in the Ovi Store is thankfully the former. This is a wonderful little application – it's not a cheap cash-in (the app is actually free to download and use) and has everything you'd expect from an official application... even if this isn't, it's a worthwhile piece of coding and a good model to use for other online comic strip artists. Read on for screenshots and comments.

Read on in the full article.

The comments in the app store claim the T&Cs mentions a monthly subscription and text messages involved. Sounds like it's a free trial.

I really with Nokia would sort this mess out and flag which apps are truly free and which are free trials. They need to police the apps being added to ensure this. But then they can't even stop malware getting on there and have to wait until enough people notice or complain.

P.S. This does claim to be an official app.

Is this app available for 3rd edition ? I cant see it in the OVI store ...

@deadkenny: I've been using this app for a while now and it is free and you don't receive any messages. Plus, this is the official app.

@Markus: I love the moubail app if I want to look at the comics from this week. It's fast, easy and shows them all in one go. This official app has extended functionality like the calendar, random Dilbert and the function I absolutely love: favorits. You can indicate with a comic if it is a favorit after which you can easily revisit it from the favorits menu.
