The same reliable HERE Maps that’s available on Nokia Lumia and Nokia Asha is also built right into the Nokia X family.
HERE Maps helps you explore what’s around you, new places you’ve never been to and then helps you get there as stress-free as possible.
Car, pedestrian, and public transport routing are included in this one app, as is the in-car voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation and all free to download and use! (data charges may apply)

OneDrive

Available on Nokia Store
Saving all of your photos, videos, documents and other files online in ‘the cloud’ means that you can access it anywhere, on multiple devices.
With OneDrive on your Nokia X, you’ll have access to all of those files, plus you can upload your photos, videos and other files directly.

Instagram

Available on 1Mobile Market
Partake in the huge, filterific photo-sharing community that is Instagram.
Capture something beautiful, bizarre, or just plain silly and share it with the Instagram community and your other friends on other social networks.

The usual instant-messaging features apply; emoticons, files, images, videos and voice notes can all be shared.

SwiftKey Keyboard

Available on Nokia Store
The default keyboard supplied with Nokia X works wondefully, however there’s an alternative, popular among the Android fraternity, which goes by the name of SwiftKey.
With an on-screen QWERTY keyboard, spell the word you want to write, without lifting your finger from the screen, and SwiftKey will predict the correct word to add to your text bar.
There’s a small amount of customisation here too, with the option to change themes and download different language keyboards.

Facebook

Available on Nokia Store
Share your latest status update, check in to your favourite location, or share a photo or two using the dedicated Facebook app.
Much like other Facebook apps, this version delivers a news feed to your Nokia X, keeping you up-to-date with all of your friends activities. And memes. Lots of memes…


Twitter

Available on Nokia Store
Got something to say to the world, but only got motivation to write 140 characters? Twitter is for you.
Share your most intimate thoughts, bizarre jokes, internal musings or forceful opinions. For an idea of how to use it, or how not to, check most celebrity pages. In all seriousness, it’s usually the quickest way to discover breaking news. Oh, and make sure you follow us!

That’s just a small selection of some great Android apps currently available on the Nokia X family.
