Crap App of the Week

Maybe I'll start running this as a kind of weekly feature.  Maybe not.

Anyhow, this weeks "Crap App of the Week" goes to Nokia's very own Share Online application.

This application allows you to upload the photo's from your phone to the website of your choice.  Only so long as it is either Ovi, Flickr or Vox.  Whilst the choice of web destinations is frustratingly small, that is not why I think Share Online is shit.

It's shit because it makes random people's photo's appear in MY feed.

For example, if I choose the 'Your Recent Photos' option, I am not presented with my photo's, but instead with some random other persons lifelong memories.

How very irritating.

I could maybe understand if they had just got my contacts photo's muddled up with mine, but no.  Do I really want to see some random new born baby pictures?  No thanks.

Oh, and whilst I'm at it, Share Online also had a plugin on your homescreen.  This also displays some rather random information.  I think it is trying to tell your how many new photo's and comments there are.  In relation to what, I don't know.

I can't seem to clear the numbers down to zero either.

Do yourself a favour.  Don't install this crap.

Install Shozu instead.  Whilst not without it's own faults, Shozu does a much better job, and will cause you to mutter less obsenities at the screen of your mobile phone.  This can only be a good thing.
