The Nokia Ovi Store Application has been released in my country as well. And since my country seems to be the last to get the latest, I think it is available worldwide.

The app is definitely an improvement to the website. It is easier to use and has detailed descriptions plus some even have screenshots. I haven’t got much time experimenting with the OVI app, but it seems to be very stable. Downloading app from the store is easy and they install automatically on your memory card. I mean, that’s what it does in my case. The design is nice and simple, and as plus it has star rating for each application you might like. Also, you can choose which type of apps to display from the “Options “menu.

Now let’s talk about its not so good aspects. To start, scrolling through the app menu is done with a fair rate of difficulty when you first  start the app. The “Sign In” option is very very very very bad, it took like half an hour last time I started the app. Every time I wanted to sign in and started texting my account name it just went out of the text field. And I would have to highlight it over and over again. Another big mishap was the search field, the same thing happens as I said above. The only way for me to sign in was after I tried to download an app. Also it keeps asking me if I want to turn bluetooth on, why would I need bluetooth to connect to the OVI Store?

All in all, the OVI Store app is better than the mobile web site but it still has a lot of major issues. Hope the guys at OVI are still working at it because if not I am afraid it will turn out to be a major flop.
