We previously reported that the app would be built for Windows Phone viii before long and information technology has, you lot can now download it from the Windows Phone Store. What new features does Nokia Pulse bring to the table for your Lumia 820, 822 or 920? Read on after the pause.

Yous'll remember that Nokia Pulse is a beta app for Lumia devices that allowed for messaging and sharing of locations in a individual conversation between friends. What makes it a little different for sharing your location compared to the native Rooms app (or like applications) is the rich details that Nokia Pulse pulls in about that location. For example it will give you ratings, reviews, maps, directions and more than for the place you've decided to meet up at. A rather handy characteristic when you're visiting people in a city you're not too familiar with.

Here are some of the new features in the Nokia Pulse Beta (0.10.xix.0) for Windows Phone 8:

• On Windows Telephone 8, y'all tin can go turn-by-plow navigation to any identify posted in a conversation.

• Now you can set any photo within a chat as a featured photograph. When you pin the chat to Start, your cover photo will appear on the Live Tile.
• Emoticons for Windows Phone vii.
• Removal of comments. Run into beneath for more info.

Comments were one feature that did not survive the cut cake in the Nokia Beta Labs. The team decided to pull them to make the user experience a lilliputian more than streamlined and simplified. Responding to comments will at present testify upwardly as a message in that particular chat.

As with all beta apps, it is under development and you'll probably meet a bug or two along the way. Exercise the team a favor and submit feedback through the app for any positive or negative things you come across. It's a really neat app for coordinating and herding a grouping of a people to 1 location. Could exist handy when travelling abroad with a group of friends.

You know the drill – the app is free and you tin grab it here in the Windows Phone shop, utilise the QR code below, or if you're in our Windows Phone Primal app only swipe towards the right and download there. Update - Folks in the annotate tin can download it on non Nokia devices, we've been able to ostend every bit it works on our HTC 8X.
