BlackBerry App World updated to version 3.1.2.32
Last week we saw RIM update a number of their in-house applications like Twitter, Facebook, and the BlackBerry Travel app. Today, RIM is pushing out an updated version of BlackBerry App World, which brings the version number to 3.1.2.32, a fair jump from the current version of 3.1.1.21.
In what seems to be normal fashion there has been no change log provided, but this version should bring bug fixes at least. You can update you App World by going to BlackBerry.com/AppWorld from you BlackBerry smartphone, or you can wait for it be pushed down to your phone.
Discuss App World version 3.1.2.32 in the CrackBerry forums

The wow factor in these updates is quite lowwwwww.
Bug fixes we assume....oh joy.

Haven't noticed anything new yet keeping my eyes peeled.

The biggest or most significant change in AppWorld 3.1.2.x is the seperation of Handheld vs. Tablet applications.
They are now listed in a seperate "tab" from the installed/uninstalled/upgrades sections of "My World".

There is a changelog

Which font is that?

i was wondering the same thing. anyone know?

It's a shame that once you uninstall an application that it remains for eternity (apparently) in "My World"
trinichindian Apr 23, 2012 at 3:40 pm
Yeah that really sucks. The way I work around that is I "hide" the uninstalled apps(Press the BB button while in Uninstalled apps > hide)....but once you reboot the phone they all reappear.
A temporary fix..until you reboot.
Halifax Guy Apr 23, 2012 at 6:39 pm
I've done that, but as you say it is only a temporary fix at best. I see that this update has removed the "unavailable for this model" from the uninstalled list. A step in the right direction.

I agree. A stupid waste of memory.
Bobcat665 Apr 23, 2012 at 3:49 pm
Well, at least us Pearl 9100 owners running OS 6 can be happy with the bug fixes... The scrolling and page loads are smoother than ever before too. :)
Hibbylinx81 Apr 23, 2012 at 4:30 pm
Definitely *appreciably* snappier than previous version...there is app-list sharing via nfc, yet to try that...there's keyword app search in my world, that's a very refreshing addition...I'm still at odds though as to y d home screen tiles hav to b sooo large so that u hav to scroll down!! Think it would b bettr to scroll across, if scrolling is so necessary! 9900/7.1.0.342..O n I couldn't help but notice the size of d icon has increased disproportionately to my othr icons on d homescreen!!
Edit: Overall d experience is better..Way to go!!

I see the link to download from blackberry.com, but how is it the pic is to upgrade appworld from inside AppWorld? Lol I hate downloading from the website as it always takes for-eh-verr haha would be nice to update from appworld, just sayin...
Hibbylinx81 Apr 23, 2012 at 7:53 pm
Yes appworld can update itself from within itself! U should c d update alert in your inbox like for any othr app! Don't c it? Open appworld n do an ALT+R+S+T reset of appworld then restart d app...If not just wait for d update alert...

what font is that in the picture?
kennyiceberry Apr 24, 2012 at 7:58 am
Too bad this installation has bricked my Torch 9810 twice.
Once after a softboot and again after a battery pull.
Since the update does not appear to deliver any significant increase in functionality, my advice is to skip it - wait for the next one.
This one seems to display RIM's typical incompetence fatuousness and inefficiency.
I warn you again, do *not* install.
sfmccallie Apr 24, 2012 at 11:40 am
It hasn't bricked my 9800 but when I d/l it my icon for AppWorld goes away. I have deleted, re-downloaded and the icon is still missing. Not hidden, not in any folders, just missing. Deleted it from the Applicatons, went to Blackberry, re-re-downloaded and still no icon...
Barefoot_Kevin Apr 25, 2012 at 7:32 am
I "upgraded" on my 9930 and the darn thing doesn't even open. Pressing ALT+Back Button clears it, but I can't access App World at all now.
Bucklemyshoe Apr 26, 2012 at 12:55 pm
Same thing on my 9800 - I am locked out of App World.
illini2097 Apr 29, 2012 at 11:40 am
Same thing for my 9700!
Anyone else with this issue? Or a fix for it?
Thanks
khanig Apr 30, 2012 at 6:15 pm
Same thing here with my 9800. i think RIM is trying to go out of business. I'm starting to think Galaxy S II.
khanig Apr 30, 2012 at 6:10 pm
I have a 9800 OS6 through At&T and the prior App World worked just fine. This new one I have downloaded three times and it still won't work. This is RIM's "flag ship" app, and the damn thing doesn't work! What are they trying to do, actually WORK at going out of buisness? And they wonder why customers like us are looking at iPhones and Galaxy S IIs. Wake up RIM. This is the worst app I've seen with RIM. Get it together RIM. This new version is awful. DO NOT download it.

too late. sigh. crap. OMG so angry right now. totally agree...I think blackberry is trying to actively send us all over the iphone side. incredible
hecatomb_ Jun 27, 2012 at 8:27 am

WOW.... this was the straw that has done it for me. Going out to get an iphone tomorrow. wow RIM SUCKS! There was an upgrade to app world, i upgraded and now appworld icon has disappeared. Way to go blackberry.... way to go. I've had my itouch for YEARS and itunes has never up and disappeared.
