Experience
As they say, sharing is caring, and our trial users do care. Armed with their trusty Nokia devices, our trial users recorded and shared life’s simplest moments with the growing community known as Nokia viNe. Check out their thoughts on the Nokia viNe application, and for all you know, you might find yourself as a new member of the Nokia viNe community!
Nokia viNe should consider allowing users to narrate their experience within their vines for better clarity to users who are viewing it. This will definitely enrich the user experience while viewing the vines in the Nokia viNe site. For example, by allowing an outlet for experience sharing or comments, it would be beneficial to both food enthusiasts who want to share the good food haunts they discover all over the island and users who are searching for ideas.
All in all, it’s a nifty and easy-to-use application that can be further improved on. It could potentially be a great application if more thought is put into it. It’s a great idea, but the execution is sadly flawed.
I’m waiting to see a better Nokia viNe. =)
A welcome addition to this application would be including the option to comment on every photo or video taken. This would make more sense as some images are not self-explanatory. Over all, it was a fun experience that was let down by its bad uploading interface and buggy website that doesn’t display all of my vines.
The Nokia N85, is a phone, camera and video recorder all it one, the good thing about adding this Nokia viNe app is like having a digital diary tagging your photos or videos with specific locations.
Overall, I find the application very user friendly. You can even opt to upload only specific pictures or videos, instead of uploading the whole vine.
I would probably use this application for a tourist/ travel journal, as it will reduce the problems one might have while trying to recall or where you took that photo. It also allows you to pause the app when you are idling too long without much activity.
You’re supposed to be able to upload your vines onto the net to be viewed by others but unfortunately I could not do this. I tried a number of times to upload but the progress keeps getting stuck at 25%.
My initial idea for a vine was “My work As A Quantity Surveyor”, but this was unfortunately shortened to “My Journey to Work” as the battery ran out on me. My vine shows the places I pass through on my way to work as well as pictures of me at the office, feeding my “Nine Spine Dragons” at my office rooftop compound.
