Wish to view tweets from a specific group of people? Just add them to your Inner Circle and you’ll get a seperate timeline consisting of stuff exclusively related to them. This app is a must have for everyone who loves to tweet their way around. Why is UberSocial special? UberSocial for BlackBerry review Let me tell you that UberSocial is the most popular Twitter app for BB users. Is there a better Twitter app for BlackBerry devices? UberSocial: The best BlackBerry Twitter app If you’re looking for a minimal Twitter app, then this one will work just fine for you. The one problem I’ve noticed is that it doesn’t display or ReTweets.
Furthermore the latest v3.0.0.20 update brings BBM integration which allows it to automatically update your BBM status with your tweets. It has pretty much everything to get you started.
The app sports a clean and sophisticated interface. Most BlackBerry users already have the official Twitter app installed on their devices. But does it suffice? Official BlackBerry Twitter app
When it comes to BlackBerry smartphones, the official Twitter app is preloaded.
For example, the Fire TV app installs, but never appears.If you’re an active Twitter user, then it’s next to impossible that you do not have a Twitter application installed on your smartphone.
The Z30 only has 2GB of RAM (compared to the Passport's 3GB), so it's a bit more problematic running some of these Android apps. I may get around to testing that within the next couple of weeks. Of course, the web browser can probably be used for a lot of this. There are some apps that are only available for the Z30 but not the PassPort, even though they would probably run fine (like "White Noise", which runs fine on the Z30). Kindle works on the Z30 but is not available on the PassPort (sadly). If you don't have a key, you may not be able to buy one.ĪnkiDroid (and various other language learning apps I won't mention)ĪccuWeather (although the BlackBerry weather app works fine and uses AccuWeather services) I own a key to it, so I'm able to run it. TV Guide doesn't work, but "TV Listings" does, and it runs great (one of the best designed apps for this)ĭocsToGo - Yeah, it's from BlackBerry, but that wasn't a "given". Spotify - it's slow, but it works (although I'm not a Premium member now, so can't test that part of it) Skype, Microsoft Outlook, OneNote - all still available and run, but I haven't signed into any of them yet (and may not). Roku and Fire TV apps - They run, but haven't signed in yet Pinterest - it's the older interface but it runs (they warn you about having limited features) TWIT Play - calendar doesn't work, but the live audio works PocketBible - that thing runs *everywhere* ) Human Japanese (and Intermediate) - Yeah, I'm thinking of going back to learning that ('cause I'm nuts) HDHomeRun View - Watch TV on your BlackBerry if you have the HDHomeRun TV tuners on your network! Here are the apps I *did* get installed and which run: The preinstalled YouTube app just opens the browser, but it works (although I haven't signed in yet) But that's good enough if you just want to kill time. The Feedly app runs, but you can't log in, so you're stuck with generic topics. Facebook is preinstalled but that's an automatic NO from me. The LinkedIn app is preinstalled but I probably won't bother with that. The Amazon shopping app is also preinstalled, but diverts you to the website. The devices come with the BB10 Twitter client, but it also reports the lack of a network connection. There's always the web interface, but I haven't tried it yet. They're either not available or won't work.
So, Amazon App Store it is (or nothing else). Of course, BlackBerry World won't run (no network connection), but that died a long time ago. I decided to pull out my Passport and Z30 and set them up again (while I still can)! I wanted to see what I could still do, and to see what would die after the 4th.
