9 best Android apps for Nokia X

By

With a wide and varied pool of Android apps at your disposal, the Nokia X family of smartphones have something for everyone. Here are our highlights.


Vine

Available on Nokia Store
Developed by Twitter, Vine enables you to create short, looping videos that you can share online via Twitter and Facebook, as well as your Vine profile.
With the ability to pause and edit your video at any time, it opens up a whole world of creativity, particularly when it comes to stop-motion videos, such as this one from Ian Padham demonstrates.

HERE Maps

Available on Nokia Store

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)

Outlook.com

Available on Nokia Store
By signing up to Outlook, you’ll receive a free Outlook.com email address that will push emails to your Nokia X whenever you receive them.
You’ll also be signed up for the other Microsoft services, such as OneDrive, and have access to Word Online, Excel Online, PowerPoint Online and OneNote Online; very helpful when creating top-notch documents for free.

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.
Instagram on Nokia X also supports video uploading.



BBM

Available on Nokia Store
The popular and widespread messaging app, BBM, is now available on Nokia X smartphones.
Sign up to get your own BBM PIN and share it with your friends to make sure you’re all connected. Then, send and receive secure messages as you wish.
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.

What have we missed? Share your thoughts, below.

6 Online Dating Mistakes to Avoid

By
So, you’d like to meet someone and have decided to go online. That’s a good move — proactive and forward-thinking. But be careful not to be lulled into habits that will undermine your online dating experience. Here are some tips to keep in mind as you peruse the seemingly endless stream of profiles from prospective partners. 1. Don’t go crazy over the pictures. On the Internet, it's easy to feel nitpicky and maintain high expectations. With apps like Tinder, you snap-judge users as if you were scrolling Amazon for the best pair of speakers. This sense of being in the driver’s seat, of choosing, can be appealing. It makes you feel powerful. Fight it. If what you want is a real connection — a relationship with a person you hope to love and who will love you — you will have to bring your most mature and empathetic self to the project. That means not saying, “Eh, she’s cute — but I prefer brunettes to blondes. Next!” You’d never behave this way in person, so do...

The Power of Love

By
Love is as critical for your mind and body as oxygen. It's not negotiable. The more connected you are, the healthier you will be both physically and emotionally. The less connected you are, the more you are at risk. It is also true that the less love you have, the more depression you are likely to experience in your life. Love is probably the best antidepressant there is because one of the most common sources of depression is feeling unloved. Most depressed people don't love themselves and they do not feel loved by others. They also are very self-focused, making them less attractive to others and depriving them of opportunities to learn the skills of love. There is a mythology in our culture that love just happens. As a result, the depressed often sit around passively waiting for someone to love them. But love doesn't work that way. To get love and keep love you have to go out and be active and learn a variety of...
