Nokia and AOL announce Entrance, an entertainment app for Nokia's Windows Phone devices

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/05/nokia-and-aol-announce-entrance-an-entertainment-app-for-nokia-lumia-phones/)

In case you didn't notice, Microsoft and Nokia are holding a [pretty major](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/nokia-microsoft-windows-phone/) press event right now, and while we've mainly been waiting for some shiny new hardware, a few fresh apps never hurt either. Nokia just made a joint announcement with AOL, unveiling an entertainment hub called Entrance, which will be available only on Nokia's Windows Phone devices. AOL (which happens to be Engadget's parent company) naturally used the app as a way to highlight its various properties, including Moviefone, AOL Music and Huffington Post Entertainment. So, for example, you might watch trailers or buy tickets on Moviefone, or read news from HuffPo. Like its various [Android apps](http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/24/aol-play-music-player-app-kindle-fire/), it includes [Shoutcast](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Shoutcast/) Radio integration with streaming from over 55,000 radio stations worldwide. Perhaps the most compelling bit, though, is an augmented reality feature with overlays for movie posters and show times. The app's free and available for download at the source link below, and we've also got some screenshots to help give you a sense for the look and feel.
