Nokia has been working hard to buzz up its Ovi Store, and for the purpose, today it announced more cricket-specific games and apps to grab local audience. The new apps include Cricket Free Hit (game), Cricket Wire, Cricket Companion, CricThrill, Cricket T20 Fever Lite and Cricket World.
A statement issued by the company said that Cricket Companion, which was made by a Pakistani developer – currently the most downloaded app on Ovi Store, has been revamped. Nokia said that Cricket Companion offers live match stats and summary. Cricket Companion has been downloaded around 60,000 times with downloads made from several other countries outside of Pakistan.
Talking about the new apps, Haseeb Ihtisham, Head of Marketing, Nokia Near East said, “We decided to offer the best cricket app on Ovi Store this season so that everyone could enjoy this cricket world cup in its true spirit.”
