This is an interesting app probably because I found it in the entertainment category but I think it fits well in the utilities category too because it’s very useful and you’ll see why but its name should already answering that question for you.
They’re actually not mentioning it in the description, probably because they’re not allowed to but I’m telling you that it’s a perfect replica of iPhone’s lock screen but that’s ok, you don’t really need to know that to in deciding to buy it or not. You just need to know if you like it or not.
Anyway, besides the iPhone lock screen, this StormSlider app allows you to add a custom text in the box where is the slider but that’s really useless, I don’t see why you’d want to change that except if you don’t speak English and you want other text but if you don’t speak English, you would also not be reading this . Another feature of this app is to add custom backgrounds.
It’s a nice and also safe way to unlock your phone but it costs quite a lot despites the things that it does namely $2.99 but you can buy it from here.
There are plenty of apps like this over the internet but of course that not all of them are really good at what they’re supposed to do. Actually I don’t know too many things about those apps but I know that this app got 4/5 stars which is a great note telling us that it’s worth trying or even keeping it on your BlackBerry.
If you don’t want to spend too much time on protecting your BlackBerry, then you should get this app because it offers you a large variety of important protection features so you won’t have to look for other protection apps.
The first feature is Security + Antivirus which blocks viruses, malware, spyware and scans every app you download. It also backups and restore your data (contacts and photos) and you can go to myLookout.com to check your data. The last feature is the famous “find my phone” which points on a map the position of your phone, triggers a loud alarm so you can hear it if it’s nearly you and it remotely wipe your data if you’ll never see again your BlackBerry.
What’s awesome from this app is that it’s for free and you can download it from here.
This app is amazing or better said, it should be amazing and if they will release new updates, it will. As you might know, there are many apps that seem to be amazing from description and screenshots but when you test it on your BlackBerry or any other phone, it’s absolutely different from what you previously expected.
This app brings all Social Networks and all popular IM in one place so you can have easy access to all of them and also to speak with them through a friendly and cute interface. To clear it up for you, MSN, Skype, Google,Yahoo, AIM, ICQ, Facebook, MySpace and Hyves are all the services that the Nimbuzz app brings together into just one page. I think that’s amazing but at the same time, I think it will “eat” a lot of energy to be logged on so many IM and Social Networks.
Anyway, the other thing that I wanted to bring up is that this app has an overall rating of just 2.5/5 stars which is pretty low but that happened because a lot of people experienced troubles like automatically singing out from Skype, double messages or crashes.
The app is free so if you want to try it, click here and download it.
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 think this is the first time when I’m not so excited about a theme made by elecite. I’m not saying that the graphics are not professional; actually, they are but I don’t have that sensation of joy when I look at this theme and I think I know why.
It’s because they wanted to give to this theme an old look but it doesn’t really feel like so. I have to say that this is the latest theme that they launched and excepting the thing that this theme doesn’t really succeeded to express what they wanted to express, it’s very professional and it has the elecites “finger print” because as you might know from all the previous reviews I made about their themes, they have a very unique and also very professional style of designing BlackBerry themes.
This theme has been released just 4 days ago so it’s quite understandable why it doesn’t have any reviews. If you’re thinking to buy it, my advice is to wait a little more to see some reviews from customers that bought this theme.
