Nokia Pulse was a simple, instant, and private way to send rich location messages to friends and family with a single tap. Available on Windows Phone, MeeGo, Symbian, and mobile web, it was designed to bring conversations about meetups, pickups, and drop-offs to life by automatically tagging every message with your current location.
Key Features
Nokia Pulse let you create private groups directly from your phonebook without requiring any existing network membership. All that was needed to add someone was an email address, with auto-fill available on supported clients to speed things up.
Location was automatically attached to every update sent through the app, whether that was a photo, a proposed meeting place, or a simple check-in. Deep integration with Nokia Maps meant recipients could see rich venue details including ratings, reviews, and photos, view the location on a map, get directions, or even call ahead to make a reservation.
All conversations were stored in the cloud and accessible for as long as needed. On Windows Phone, push notifications kept you up to date on every group update, and the app could be pinned to the Start screen as a Live Tile for at-a-glance group activity.
