Finding your way inside Koskikeskus

There’s an app for that! Available for Android, iOS and Windows Phone, the official Koskikeskus application links can be found here. In addition of giving you directions at the shopping centre, there’s useful stuff in case you want to take a stroll around the shopping centre (but why’d you want to do that!).
