If you're a member of the BlackBerry Beta Zone you should be getting an email soon, if you haven't already -- advising you that BlackBerry App World v3.0.0.71 is now available for download. No need to wait for the email though, if you have a login you grab the download right now. RIM has yet to update the known issues for this release, but hopefully that list will be short. If you grab the download, and spot any changes -- drop them in the comments and let others know.

This release features the following changes:
- Fixed bug where apps were not appearing in "My World"
- Further improvements to speed and screen transitions
- Various bug fixes

+1.
So glad they fixed the "My World" problem. I have like 15 upgrades available that I didn't know about.
It's even more smooth that it was before. The home screen is a little laggy when selecting around the different options but the scroll menu of categories is very liquid now.
My world scrolling has zero lag and response time after clicking an app for further info/download is instant.
Good update.

hopefully this post was a result of the lack of spell check on his playbook...
UnknownError507 Aug 25, 2011 at 3:03 pm

I feel your pain...

nice, i like the icons are just white instead of multiple colors. cool they are upgrading this so quick and fixing the bugs. weather channel app upgraded also as soon as i installed the new version of app world. get rid of multiple icons also, it erased the loaded icon of the weather channel app that stayed on the device since i downloaded the app from app world originally instead of the pre loaded icon shortcut.

White icons. Much better than the Samsung looking crap icons.

And transitions seem faster.

This must be why it didn't get officially released last Monday like we were told it was going to be.
Vanti Aug 25, 2011 at 3:04 pm
I think we'll all be looking forward to this when it goes public currently the app world lacks that certain BB touch to it and were all on the edge of our seats

1. They lost their color in the options again (I.e. My World, Games, Apps etc. 2. When you update an app and you must reboot, just tells you that doesn't give you the "Reboot Now or Later" option.
SteelGreek Aug 25, 2011 at 3:31 pm
Noticed this too although when I went to exit from AppWorld I was promoted to "reboot now or later"

Seems OK, maybe a little less laggy when scrolling around.
I like the white icons.
In My World, didn't it used to show the count of things Installed, Uninstalled, etc in the title of the section?? Now it does not. I liked the count there...
the brother Aug 25, 2011 at 3:12 pm
not in rush to install after running the last 2 versions. no alerts for updated apps and if u got an alert u couldn't update the apps!!!!!!!!
bold1193 Aug 25, 2011 at 5:11 pm
Once I updated, 5 apps were waiting to be updated!!
samuelmorgan Aug 25, 2011 at 3:24 pm
All I've noticed is the change in icon appearance.
I'm really liking the categories at the top in app world 3.0. Can't wait for them to begin to fill out a little more.
redrumsilence Aug 25, 2011 at 3:27 pm
The icons have lost their colours....not sure I like that
And now there's no option to "reboot now" or "reboot later" when you update an app that requires it :/ just get "requires a device reboot" :(
Last one was better than this

How come on my 9900 I don't get the key codes. And on my torch I allways got them :(
Sharma15 Aug 25, 2011 at 4:55 pm
You have to change your pin in blackberry app world... otherwise u wotn get keycode
1canuck2 Aug 26, 2011 at 3:31 pm
You have to change your PIN in BlackBerry BETA ZONE (not App World).

Theme as far as i know is not Compatible with OS7 they are working on it.
But about the rest of them i dont have any problem, and is better with the whiter Icons is loading faster.
hooch_is_crazy Aug 25, 2011 at 3:43 pm
Still major bugs on my Storm 2. Can't expand subcategories more than once and then can't scroll past No. 23 on the Top 25 lists. Tons of work to be done.
MaxxxBerry23 Aug 25, 2011 at 3:54 pm
Does anyone else have the issue that only the "MyWorld" and "My Account" icon show app? Where normally the icons for Games, Apps Themes show up is just an empty space :(
MaxxxBerry23 Aug 25, 2011 at 4:19 pm
I reported it in the Beta Zone, maybe they`ll bring up another update if others have this issue too.
siddo_d Aug 25, 2011 at 4:49 pm
This is so much better than v3.54 well done RIM
crigga84 Aug 25, 2011 at 6:30 pm
This really is a fantastic update. Lightning fast and great UI.
pmich Aug 25, 2011 at 8:04 pm
VERY IMPRESSED...incredibly quick ...it loaded in less than a second and i'm loving the new icons..the old ones were horribly bad.
One annoying thing is that "Payment options" is cut off on the screen. it just says "Payment Opti..."
that needs correcting.

In myworld there is a grouping in the drop down list for apps upgrades. The icons below the carousel are now white. In app world 3 I Don't see the option to archive the apps to yu SD card.
