After the rather weird roll out of BlackBerry App World v4.0.0.55 not long ago, we now have a new update appearing as available for download. This time around you're looking at v4.0.0.63 although, there is no change log to go along with it. Taking a guess, it's likely just bug fixes over the previous version but if you spot anything new let us know in the comments. Thanks, Maiev!

    Bla1ze

    You didn't 'lose' it. It was removed in .55.

    how do you update app world i just get app world main screen?

    pnugraha

    Go to http://www.blackberry.com/appworld/download instead to directly download it, can't guarantee it's available for you yet though :)

    This update fixed the issue I was having with 4.0.0.55 where I was getting an error on restart "uncaught exception no application instance".

    elmit22

    will give it a try in a couple of hours. nothing there for me yet

    Why would it say something retarded like "You are using an unsupported Operating System....." When I go to sign into Blackberry App World online? My Playbook is a Blackberry after all. They shouldn't keep using the catch all word 'Blackberry' when they only mean a certain set of devices. As I've said before it's misleading and lazy.....

    00stryder

    Technically the PlayBook OS IS an unsupported operating system in this case as it's based on QNX. This particular App World update is for BlackBerries running on BBOS software, which is a completely different operating system than the one of the PlayBook. So it's not entirely misleading as it may be confusing for some.

    But this is just for phones running OS 7.1 and below. The Dev Alpha devices won't get this and neither will the PlayBook.

    sjc1963

    Irrelevant. No where do they make this distinction. A Playbook is still a Blackberry, so using this catch all term is misleading.

    it is there now thanks pnugraha

    elmit22

    downloaded and installed without problems.
    but i do not have an APP world icon on my phone now help please

    Rootbrian

    You did get the prompt right?

    Motorhead777

    that usually means you were maybe downloading some app or some app was about to download. Thats what the cause was for me. Also shut all tabs down in browser . Or get to app world a diff way and shut any download down. There is a way to get to app world other than the icon. Thats were I killed the download and the icon came back.

    Something like that was the fix for me!!!!!

    jamesharmeling

    Seems to load faster. Haven't noticed any other differences.

    thecsman

    I didn't lose gifting, but I gained TAXES! Ha!

    BGK

    I haven't downloaded this latest version yet but I gained taxes last download - weird ....

    BB_Bmore

    Caution guys! Since this update I can't send a BBM at all but I can receive them. There is also no delete button in appworld to try and reinstall BBM.

    chiripio

    iam having the same problem iam not able to send messages with blackberry messenger.

    BB_Bmore

    I'm working on a fix now. Ill post back if I find something.

    chiripio

    i contact my carrier 3 times they dont know what to do jaajaaa hope they find a fix for this.

    iansantos17

    Same as mine. Can't send BBM message and SMS.

    Kandoo-BB

    Wow broke my bbm too! I can receive but can't send wtf!?

    I'm deleting and going to RRoyy to get the old version back. God I hope this works I need my BBM!!!

    decypher44

    I was just about to update, then I saw the posts regarding issues with BBM. Though I only have two whole BBM contacts, they are my closest friends and that's what they prefer. Will wait to see what shakes out before updating.

    NFLPLAYBOOK

    Thanks for the warning.

    ryshhh

    Any work around? I had to download the old one from RROYY. Even after that, bbm still aint working for me.. :(

    TTBGF

    Hmmm, bbm and sms work fine for me. Did you guys with issues get a notification for an update of Blackberry ID right after? I did, so maybe that has something to do with it. After that update, a 2nd reboot was required and everything worked fine afterwards. Let's hope they send out an update soon.

    DJM626

    I have never had app world load this FAST for me ever! All of the catagories load fast with no lag for me. Hopefully that won't change in my last few months usage of this phone until BB 10

    billsterjito

    I downloaded this last night and have had no bbm problems so far!
    Have see the multiple bbms across the country
    I hope ya get yours fixed soon

    chiripio

    i got the id update message first the i install the app world new version

    niss63

    It is faster, but I did have to update BB I.D. It seems a bit buggy - hangs intermittently for 30-45 seconds - especially on exit.

    SMS works. I don't use BBM, so I don't know whether or not it works.

    The one thing that bugs me most was not repaired: If you have a long list of apps and you try to scroll down, reading the short descriptions as you go, periodically it jumps back up to the top of the list. Really irritating.

    marcib1221

    Why are so many apps unavailable on the touchscreen bold? Every single app I try to download from the app store says its unavailable for my device - for example the fios remote dvr manager app - what is up with that?

    chiripio

    I was able to fix it reinstalling os

    BGK

    Not downloading this version. Everything I've read so far tells me to wait .....

    Rootbrian

    Haven't had any issues with disappearing icons, or broken BBM at all.

    I downloaded and got it installed, the same for blackberry ID getting updated after a reboot, then another reboot and everything is fine.

    REBOOT AFTER INSTALLING IT. Then you won't have those issues.

    Also remember to accept the Blackberry ID update and then accept the restart, then no issues with installtion or functionality on my BB Torch 9800.
