BlackBerry App World Version 1.1. Launched!

*UPDATE* Changelog information is now available, new locales have been added such as Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Ireland, Austria, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal and the Channel Islands and is now available to download in five languages (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish).

We posted about some of the upcoming changes to BlackBerry App World just the other day, now you can grab the latest version from the BlackBerry App World website. New features include:

Archive applications (free or purchased) to the external MicroSD memory card.
Enjoy quick re-installation of applications.
Choose to browse free or paid applications when viewing catalog.
Users now will be alerted through an icon on their screen of app upgrades.

Anyone who has app world installed should grab this update as it corrects a lot of issues, and users are reporting it is working much better. Plus, the new features are a step in the right direction. Sadly though, "BlackBerry App World" still does not seem very worldly but at this point RIM has not provided a full change log or updated BlackBerry.com.

Nope No luck here either

Downloading now

Surprised it doesn't work on my Storm w/ OS 5.0. Guess RIM will be making another update to it once 5.0 is official.

Posted by wxologist Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

Seems good on 4.7...images still load quite slow though. I've read that you can now find the new apps...which is something that App world should have had from the start. Can't figure it out though...has anyone had any luck?

Posted by slinky317 Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

Archive? That doesn't mean what I think it means, does it? As in... if you put them on your SD card, you won't be able to use them?

Posted by mattreed78 Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

No just stores them

Posted by codemaker Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

Looks like RIM added support for free trials and separated the paid and free top applications lists. THEY ARE LISTENING!!!!

Running 4.6.1.231 on the Curve 8900 and updated via direct BB connection to the BB website. Clean install and the app is running just fine; in fact the images are loading much faster than they ever have. Definitely worth the update.

Just download it and its nice it slid off screen like iphone must be what the new os 5.0 is going to work like

Posted by ZebraIII Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

I can't believe RIM would release this and not support 5.0.

Posted by lcohen999 Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

Why?

5.0 has not been released yet. Or should they support you on you Beta, unsupported OS

I have OS 4.5 on my Verizon Curve 8330. Just d/l the latest version of App World, tried to connect...Fail

Posted by mscalero Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

Hey,

Same here, Verizon 8330 curve, v4.5.0.160. Everytime I try to connect there is an "error connecting to the App World server".

Posted by zanooky Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

any fix?

Posted by gtzaskar Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

I deleted the new app world app and installed it again...still FAIL.

Posted by SomEngangVar Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

I've done the same. It would freeze my phone altogether when I first installed it. It still won't connect. Maybe it'll be better later on in the day?

Posted by jytreeide Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

I'm having the same problem on my Verizon 8330 4.5.0.138.

"It would freeze my phone altogether when I first installed it. It still won't connect."

same issue for 8330 curve riding sprint??? does this thing not like curves?

Posted by d4n13l Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

I have a Curve 8330 on Bell. Same "Cannot connect to App World server" issue. It seems this is an issue with this phone.

Posted by Bill_Johnson Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

Upgraded to this version on my Curve 8330 (4.5) and it freezes up my BB. had to do a battery pull. Tried other apps, all is well. Try App World, froze everything again! another battery pull, then uninstall! forget it.

Think I will wait till they smarten up and provide a desktop version also.

Posted by entshah Saturday, Aug 01, 2009 923 days ago

Same problem with the BB-Pearl Flip. Tried all the usual things, uninstall and reinstall, check permissions, data services are on, and other data intensive apps work (email, Google maps, etc.) - nothing worked. I just called Verizon and the tech-support guy said he'd have to look into it - first time he'd heard of such a problem. He's supposed to call me later today - I'll post an update when I get an answer. I agree this is annoying, but as others have mentioned, we're not missing much not having access to the AppWorld since the apps are limited at this point. Have faith...

I have a curve 8330 (sprint) and new ver of App World will not connect. It says cannot connect to the app world server and to check network connections.....those are fine, still wont connect. Whats gives???

Posted by crackberry_matt Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

same issue

Posted by yorkkid11 Sunday, Aug 02, 2009 921 days ago

i had the same problem, but as of this morning when i woke up i checked it and it connected just fine.

Posted by Snipes Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

Maybe if we could find the cods or a separately hosted OTA it would work with 5.0...

Posted by elvin1983 Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

I've got a 8330 (USCC) and I've had no problems connecting. Actually, I finally am satisfied with this version of App World. I haven't really gotten too far into it yet, but the updated UI is much smoother, and everything seems to load a lot faster, where as the old version felt really sluggish... Couldn't be happier, now I will keep App World on my BB!

Oh yea, I'm running 4.5.0.66

Posted by zanooky Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

says it is having trouble connecting the appworld server. I know that im connected im getting email, SMS, Calls????? Help...

Posted by Dave0373 Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

This is a huge improvement from the old app world. I can finally sort out the new from the old. Now bring on the good apps.

Posted by UN4GTBL Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

I gave up on the original App World as it took years to load pages, but this one works rather quickly considering my curve is only EDGE speed worthy. The top free apps is a nice improvement.

Thanks RIM!

Posted by CAJ Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

Finally the Appworld started in a view other countries to! Free App download successful here. Thanks RIM!

Posted by crackberry_matt Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

gives me a 'having trouble connecting to the BlackBerry App World server' error on my curve 8330 on sprint.

Posted by g_man_6 Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

Works perfectly on my bold! couldn't be happier! really fast and easy to use. Much improved!

Posted by miro Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

Works great on the Tour. No issues yet.

Posted by mattreed78 Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

These cool but they still need to allow the customer install and run app off the memory card

Posted by codemaker Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

I started a findings thread for app world 1.1.0.11 here:

Posted by RiverboyX89 Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

The program is running a lot smoother than before its GREAT!!!

All that RIM needs to add is
1. Add a category for new apps that are just released
2. The ability to LOAD directly from a memory card.
3. Ability to pay with Card not just paypal

Those are issues that I'm sure will be dealt with in time except for number 2 not to sure about that one lol.

But I must say this is defiantly a step in the right direction!

Posted by dokers Friday, Jul 31, 2009 923 days ago

I have a 8130 Pearl and I also cannot get the app world to connect even after a clean install. Something must be up with the App/Sprint network.
