Blaq for PlayBook

The popular Twitter client Blaq for the BlackBerry PlayBook has been updated to version 1.6. This release includes some new features as well as bug fixes. Blaq has been the top Twitter client for the PlayBook for quite some time now, so if you haven't checked it out yet you should certainly do so. Updates include:

  • Read saved searches - You asked for it and it's here!
  • Supports Bit.ly, Img.ly, Yfrog and Twitter photo
  • Klout score on tweet card (configurable)
  • View your own profile
  • Maximized WebView notifications - Native notifications prompt even when you're viewing websites within Blaq.

Bug Fixes

  • Cannot insert mention between text when composing a tweet
  • Mentions and DMs are not sorted
  • Direct message notifications would not show
  • Trending topics don't load
  • Some tweet links were untappable or broken
  • More stable real-time streaming
  • Tweet Card some times does not display (potential)
  • Search results scroll performance improved
  • When an image upload fails, tweet is still sent
  • Minor internal issues

Blaq for the BlackBerry PlayBook is available in BlackBerry App World for $1.99. Check out our full review here.

Buy it! If Twitter comes out for the PlayBook in the next week I'll PayPal you a refund :)

Not the next week, but it should be in OS2 which hopefully is still on schedule for February. I'm happy using Lemma (free) in the meantime, although I'm sure Blaq is a great app.

again i ask of this and any app that charges money when the real thing is FREE... WHY??

the playbook has one of the fastest browsers around; what's preventing me from simply going to the twitter website and leaving it open? it does everything that this Blaque app did/does and more...i just don't get why the need to charge for something that does less than the real thing.

Hoping for more updates and improvements like the ability to view others' profiles and have local trends too.
