Few Better featured apps better than tons of feature-apps. (and offline!)

Why don't you built-in that into Nokia Maps App? And Nokia Transport too? Why don't you make them use the offline maps available of Nokia Drive?

If you travel, you'll unlikely have data in roaming. Offline! that's what we need, and instead of 5 apps, as much, 2 :)

Keep it going guys, you're doing well.

Well, most people enjoy simple apps which do a direct task. I, for one, would love to see something like this built into the search function of local scout on Nokia devices in the future. We'll see more and more integration as Nokia has continued to show they are the top WinPhone OEM.

You said it yourself, you'd like an app to be integrated into other one. Honestly I think people prefer a fullfeatured phone than a dumbphone with tons of apps.

One of the main issues (and cute things with some risk) is that Tiles are big. If you have to have 8 apps of Nokia attached to the start screen...

The Play-to app should be included or merged with the Music&Video hub (I guess can't be due to Microsoft restrictions), but the rest of Nokia apps related to Nokia Maps like this one, makes no sense to have it separated.

And also, IF! they could use the offline maps of Nokia Drive, I would even pay for that!
