The name of this app should be already telling you almost everything about this app. I want to start this post by saying that it should be a base app on all BlackBerrys as it happens with the iPhone. You don’t need any additional app to watch and subscribe to podcasts.
Anyway, it’s not a big effort to download this app from the app world, what’s most important is to deliver what is supposed to deliver in a very easy way and from what I’ve seen so far, it does.
The overall rate of this app is 3/5 stars and I clearly know the reason for that. There are plenty of people saying that this app didn’t work for them so here is another reason to make it a base app. Most people that reported that this app doesn’t work were Curve owners. Anyway, those people that managed to install and use this app properly rated this app pretty high namely from 4 – 5/5 stars which means this app is great only that it happens quite a lot to not work at all on some specific BlackBerrys.
The app is free and it’s definitely worth trying to install and use. You can download it from here.
WeatherEye seems to be that kind of simple app that will offer you everything you need and that’s all. I always said and I’ll always keep saying: the simple, the best and so is this app. It’s very simple but it’s also the best being the most popular weather app.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a big rating score (only 2.5/5 stars) but I think that the thing that this is the most popular weather app should make you at least try it because it’s also free so you won’t lose anything just for trying it.
Either that it has a low rating score, there are still some 5/5 reviews from people saying that this is exactly what they needed and I think this is pretty understandable. There are some people liking something and there are some people liking something else.
This app doesn’t have too many buttons or too many unusable features. It just tells you the weather in your area but at the same time, you are allowed to look for the weather in other areas too. Some simple and usable features are searching cities by GPS, warning updates, radar maps, long-term forecast etc.

Some people really love to have full control on their phones, even in those “places” where they don’t need access. Well, this app allows you do a part from those things namely to control “the behavior” of your BlackBerry while it rings.
To make it clear for you, this app allows you to control the LED color and make your phone to be able to ring and vibrate at the same time. Another feature that I love about this phone and which is also very useful on any other phone but unfortunately there are few phones coming with this feature is that it allows you to set a missed phone call reminder with LED and vibration.
If you own a BlackBerry Storm, there is another interesting feature for you namely the Facedown mode. That feature will turn off BuzzMe vibration when you place your Storm facedown. I have to say that if someone would have asked me if this was possible to do just with an app, I wouldn’t be sure about it.
By downloading this, you will also get 14-day free trial of the Premium version which has support for many Social Networks but this version is free and if you want to download it, click here
I don’t know why but I never accessed in any IT domain the Education category but when I noticed that, I was curious to see what’s on the first place and it was quite predictable.
As Chinese is the most spoken language and dictionary apps are very wanted, that made this app to be on the first place. On the other places are other dictionaries like Spanish (#2), English (#4) and French (#5). Now let’s focus on the most wanted BB dictionary.
As the description mentions, this app contains 400 self-contained audio lessons and if you really want to learn Chinese there is no way by listening to most of all those 400 self-contained audio lessons not to learn to express yourself in Chines.
The best thing at learning with such an app is that you don’t have to spend too much money to learn that language. All you need is your BB and that’s all.
This app also looks pretty cool because it got a nice interface too either that there is no need on such an app to have nice graphics. If you’re not sure about how great is this app, you should also know that it has 4.5/5 stars.
The app costs only $4.99 and it can be bought from here.
I have to say that this is an amazing app and I think it should be on the first place on its category. Also, if you ask me, this is one of my favorites BlackBerry apps and you’ll see what I like so much about it.
This app is basically a sharing app and free image hosting website for photos and videos which is pretty cool because otherwise, you’d have to use a lot more apps to upload a video / photo, then you should open another app (or browser) to share it on a social network.
This app allows you to post photos and videos on Facebook, Twitter/TwitPic, YouTube, Flickr, Photobucket and others but what I just mentioned is enough to make you understand that this is a special app. You might have doubts that this is not so true but take a look at the reviews and you’ll see that the overall rating is 4.5/5 stars.
The only important problem I could find in the reviews box is that when you upload more than 2 photos, the phone becomes very warm (this is met at many smartphones – actually at all smartphones that I tested) and then it shuts down.
The app is free and if you’re interested, you can download it from here
On all smartphones app markets, the NY Times app is in the top news apps and you can answer yourself of why’s happening that. The overall rating of this app is 4/5 stars and it’s quite ok because such a wanted app should give their large amount of customers some good services too. I think they should even try to get 4.5/5 stars but it’s ok the way it is right now too.
From what I see in the screenshots they provided and from the customers reviews, this app seems just to provide the services that it should provide and that’s all but an app with a real success should also feature a nice interface. I think they should added some nicer fonts or even better, it would be cool to be able to change the fonts by yourself because I’ve seen that at many apps but I guess I’m asking too much from them.
A nice feature about this app is offline reading. When your phone has internet access, this app is downloading the latest news to your phone so you can read them wherever you are and you don’t need an internet connection for that.
The app is free and it can be downloaded from here.
I have to say that I tested this app on an iPhone and it’s a very useful app on any device like a smartphone or your PC. I wanted to upload movies into my dropbox account but unfortunately I have a small upload speed and I failed doing that but if you know your internet connection is good, don’t hesitate to install this app on your BlackBerry.
Yes, recently, this app has been also released for the BlackBerry smartphones which means that they had a big success with the other products they sold until now. You can make a free account for free and you get 2GB of storage memory but if you want more than that, you will have to pay for it.
It’s also very useful if you have many PCs and/or smartphones because it gives you easy access to your files. You can also share some files with your friends or you can keep them private.
I embedded a short video with a preview of this app above and if you want to get it on your phone, just visit the official website.
Voice On The Go is a cool app for your BlackBerry phones. The app is a very useful app, but at the same time, it also fun to use the app. The app makes your work so easy, you just have to speak into the phone. This is both easy and fun, right?
So what is this app actually? You can send and reply to your emails, sms, mms or anything with this app by just speaking into the app. You can even update your Facebook status, or send tweets with Twitter, all by just speaking into your phone. With this app, you even get 100 minutes of free long distance calls. But you get this only if you are in North America.
The app will also read out your calendar entries and also lets you create new calendar entries. The app supports up to four email accounts. So its pretty much a complete hands off solution package for your phone. The app supports English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch.

The US government is trying hard to make its citizen stop online gambling and betting, but American Wagering and a few other companies in Nevada are all set to open their business to the internet in the form of online gambling. These companies already their apps ready for BlackBerry phones which will help the users gamble and bet online right from their phones.

"The Nevada Gaming Control Board scrutinized the project with a very thorough lab investigation, which helped us in setting the bar for our security features," said John English. "We have developed the first mobile phone betting application to be approved in Nevada."
American Wagering has over sixty sports books in Nevada, all of these books are provided in the app. So the users can choose any one of these sixty books to bet and gamble on. But you will have to register first before doing so. The users will have to go to one of these books and have to register their accounts. But care has been taken that nothing illegal will happen. The app will ask for identification details of the user during the time of activation to make sure that the use of the allowed age to gamble and bet.
