Though Nokia did announce their decision to take their map application, ‘Here’, to more Google Android and Apple iOS users, they have not yet released a new app for iOS users. Any news about the release of Here app for iOS reported by the Omni Tech Support fraud websites are certainly false.
Nokia to focus more on iOS and Android users for their map application
Since Nokia is no longer a partner of Microsoft in the smartphone industry, they can now choose to expand their services to other popular smartphone OS platforms like iOS and Android. In fact, Windows Phone OS has a very small market share when compared to Android and iOS in the smartphone market. This is clearly why Nokia made the announcement a few months ago that they were working on iOS and Android versions of the Nokia Here app.
They did release a Nokia Here app for iOS back in 2012. However, there were a lot of issues in the app that Nokia failed to fix. With more users giving poor reviews and Nokia failing to provide a satisfactory upgrade for the app for more than 10 months, Apple eventually pulled the app from the iOS App Store the following year.
Nokia has so far not come up with a new app to replace this and most iOS users have moved on to other quality map applications available through Apple app store. However, all iOS users can access the Nokia Here map service online through their browsers.
However, the story is different for the Nokia Here app for Android. Considering the huge user base of smartphone users on Android OS platform, Nokia was much more careful to upgrade the app on time and fixed most of its flaws in subsequent versions. A very up-to-date version of the Nokia Here app for Android is available in the Google Play app store online.
As far as the Windows Phone OS is concerned, the partnership between Nokia and Microsoft ensured that the latest Nokia Here app was available as a default application or through the Windows Phone app store to all the users. Windows Phone users choose from three Here apps - Nokia Here Maps, Here Drive and Here Transit.
