Nokia HERE is an application that was launched just a few months ago in App Store by the Finnish company Nokia, giving users easy access to the system Maps HERE developed by them. Although the application was available for more than a year in App Store as an alternative for Apple Maps or Google MapsThose from Nokia They've decided recently to withdraw it. Ask what exactly motivated them to take such a radical decision, the people from Nokia stated that iOS 7 affects the experience of using the application, so offering it in the App Store is inappropriate, probably forever.
We have made the decision to remove our HERE Maps app from the Apple App Store because recent changes to iOS 7 harm the user experience. iPhone users can continue to use the mobile web version of HERE Maps under m.here.com, offering them location needs, such as search, routing, orientation, transit information and more, all completely free of charge.
Those from Nokia recommend users to access the HERE Maps website in order to be able to search for locations and to be directed to any locations available in the system, the option not being entirely appropriate. Nokia is the first big company to make decisions like this blaming iOS 7 and it will probably be the last, because a company that respects its users makes sure that they benefit from the best possible user experience, regardless of the obstacles.
