HERE launches on iOS

When Nokia announced the availability of HERE on Google Play, it also announced that an iOS version will follow in early 2015. And today's the day when HERE is finally available on Apple's App Store.

Apple's iOS becomes the last of the major mobile platforms to get HERE, following Microsoft's Windows Phone and Google's Android. I've been waiting for this moment since I switched to iPhone 6 Plus from Windows Phone. Sure, there's always Google Maps, but its inability to work as well as HERE without an Internet connection is a major downside for me.

I find myself quite often in places where there's spotty cellular coverage. HERE works perfectly fine, as it allows users to download maps that cover regions or whole countries. You can also save a bit of traffic while you're at it.

I haven't yet had a chance to test HERE on my iPhone 6 Plus, as at the time of writing this article -- moments after Nokia made the announcement -- Apple's App Store is experiencing some availability issues. Nokia has a video which highlights some of the app's features, which you can check out below -- all the right features are available on HERE for iOS.
