fMobi, the best Facebook app for Symbian OS

So, those of you who are using a Symbian based Touchscreen phone such as Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia 701 or even Nokia E6 might already know about fMobi. If not, then you should. It is by far the best Facebook app for Nokia phones and you should buy it right now.

Oh! also because I design it so I am a little bit biased towards it. Open-mouthed smile

Here is a small list of features which make fMobi so good.

fMobi is made in Qt and QML. It uses the UI guidelines of Symbian Belle and fits perfectly in the environment. However, we don’t have a Symbian Belle device with us right now so the experience will only get better once we have our hands on actual Symbian Belle devices.

Here are some screenshots of fMobi. These are self explanatory.

 

We are continuously polishing the UI with each passing day. However, Me and Juuso Kosonen, the developer of fMobi don’t want to stop here. We are going to make it the best.

fMobi is also going to be showcased in Qt developer days this year in Munich and San Francisco.

If you have some feedback for its interface or some bug or some feature request, don’t forget to contact me or Juuso on Twitter. You can also mail me. We will try our best to give that feature in fMobi.

You can also look at some other apps for Symbian I am designing at my portfolio page. I can assure you will find them useful to try.

Template – About Application

While making my own app designs for Symbian OS, I came across the fact that “About application” page of many apps is nothing but a bunch of links. So I decided to make a template for this for any developer to use out there.

This template is inspired by the About page of @4squick. They have done a commendable job designing the template for there app. Do check it out at www.4squick.com. 

Here is how the template looks like, this is a mockup for an app me and Ravi Vagadia are making for Symbian OS.

About Keychain - Dark   About Keychain - Light

The link to about page should be given in the options menu and not anywhere else.

The about us section can be changed to “Contact Us” with the address of your website or some mail ID. I have just given our blog address as example here.

You are free to modify the text in PSD as you like however, I recommend keeping the layout the way it is. This PSD is given as a “free to use” template and do whatever you want to improvise the design.

Do share it back here in comments though so that others can also use the improvements you make.

You can download the PSD from here.

Make sure to keep the readme.txt attached if you distribute it again & give credits to me and link to this page.
