Nokia Pulls 'HERE' Maps App for iOS, Citing iOS 7 Changes That 'Harm the User Experience'

Yes, Apple and Nokia are very alike so this comparison makes total sense. Great job!
Never said the companies were alike? Just saying they exhibit one particular characteristic. Not saying anything good about Nokia, don't worry....
Wrong. There's no need to turn off your brain just because you use Apple products. I use them extensively but I certainly don't like all of them equally, that'd be absurd.
I highly doubt that! Well, at least the number of trolls here totally outweigh the number of fanboys me thinks.
Sad thing is like you say and it's been reported lots of times, people just arent using android devices the same way.

It was a joke, have held my 2 iPhone 4's every way and used about every type of case and never had an issue with signal.
The toughened glass on the other hand was a bit of a joke lol.
"You're holding it wrong" was Steve Jobs' reply to an email sent to him. Never an official Apple statement, no matter how hard people try to claim it. And it hit the point: The iPhone 4 had problems when you held it in a certain way, the problem went away if you held it in a different way, and at least according to their user manuals, many other phones had exactly the same problem. Yes, people wanting to demonstrate signal loss had no problems demonstrating signal loss, but people wanting to make phone calls had no problems making phone calls.
It helps with numbers to keep them all around.
in 2100... "we are proud to announce our 100 billionth app"
HERE is good and superb...but only on WP8 (I have a Lumia 1020 as my secondary phone to complement my iPhone 5S).
I bought the Lumia just for the camera and the superb navigation capabilities (found in all Lumias). Oh, and also for SharePoint and Office 365, plus all sorts of corporate Microsoft services my college uses.
But I still love my 5S more, although WP8 is catching up soon. At least it's way better than Android.

Is... is this post serious? Maybe you're new to this site. Your avatar would appear to suggest otherwise, but allow me to explain it as if you were.
iOS 7 is pre-installed on all new iDevices, and cannot be replaced with any other OS. Installing it on an existing device is easy to do, and impossible to undo. Anyone who stays with iOS 6 will have to tolerate push notifications for point updates, and badge notifications on the Settings app, which cannot be turned off. The update is downloaded automatically, and takes up space on the device until the user presses the big white 'Install Now' button.
What most of them (yourself included) don't seem to realise is that the upgrade is irreversible. Installing iOS requires a cryptographic signature from Apple, and Apple only signs the current release, usually pulling the plug on older versions within days of them being superceded. There is no way to hack or otherwise bypass the code signing. Even SHSH blobs don't work anymore.
Some people will not read the release notes, and install iOS 7 without knowing how it will affect their devices. Some people might want to try it out for a few days before making up their mind, only to find out that Apple has made up their mind for them. Avoiding the upgrade requires a conscious effort. And even if you do, half the App Store will eventually be incompatible with your iOS, because Apple encourages developers to neglect legacy compatibility.
And DO NOT even suggest that 'If you don't like it, don't buy Apple.'
Microsoft did not acquire the Maps portion of Nokia. It is retained by Nokia not Microsoft.
Or how about when Apple Maps told me I could drive to Australia from Indiana?
Honesty sometimes sucks.
BWAHAHAHAHA
Harm the experience ?? Say that again with a serious look.
People will do anything and make up excuses....
This has got to be a winner for the reason of removing an app from the App Store.
If the App is good, people will use it .... Period...
What more is there to say.... I couldn't really care what an app looks like just as long its functional and does what i need it to do.

Did you try following the directions? Maybe it knows about a secret tunnel you don't. (In all honesty, I'd be interested: what was the mistake? Is it just confused about where you or Australia is, or does it think a road exists that doesn't?)
I was supposed to drive down to South America, down to the tip, and then I was supposed to drive from there to Australia. Not get on a plane... I was supposed to drive. Maybe there is a secret tunnel that I don't know about.
There is, and you're not supposed to know about it. But hell, the cat's out of the bag now. Might as well tell everyone about The Freemason Expressway.
I tried this app when it was first released but got rid of it soon after that. It felt like someone had built an awful, non-retina optimised generic web app, crammed it inside a native application and called it a day.
Being Finnish, I very much would like Nokia (or what's left of them) to be succesful in their endeavours, but their performance with HERE on iOS was just pitiful, to put it simply.

You mean you haven't heard about that new bridge?
There's a bridge and a tunnel?
Secret is out.

That's how Apple spent the $150 billion in cash.

It's a bridge in a tunnel. Kinda rad when you think about it.

That is awesome.
It is.
I've always been a huge supporter if Apple and even Apple maps as I found the interface the best out of all the map options and the data worked well enough for me in the US...but, something came over me a couple if days ago and I decided to give my wife my iPhone 5 and bought a Nokia Lumia 1520 with Windows 8.
The maps programs on the Windows phone are awesome. All the features of a full blown GPS, I utilize their "commute" tile so I can always see what the live time is to get to work or home. Traffic is awesome, it even has weather info on the map. Speed limit info and warnings.
Who cares if it isn't on ios? Like most, I didn't even know it was an option until I read this post and I'm a map freak.
