Taking BlackBerry Maps for a test drive

Posted by Adam Zeis on 3 May 2013 10:30 am
BlackBerry Maps has been available on BlackBerry for years, however it never quite did the trick for most users. While it did work - it wasn't loaded with features worthy enough of making it a "must have" app. Over the years it has evolved and thanks to the new BlackBerry 10 platform it's finally and app we can be proud of. Keep in mind here that I did most of my testing on a BlackBerry Z10...

Recreate those nonsensical MadLib stories of your childhood with Fun-E Lib for BlackBerry 10

Posted by Alicia Erlich on 2 Apr 2013 1:37 pm
If there is one childhood game we all remember it is Mad Libs. That classic word replacement craze was an afterschool activity my friends and I shared and giggled over for hours. For those wanting to relive those days or just pass the time there is Fun-E Lib by mgdotnet. The popular theme developer offers his own witty take on on the game that is entertaining and enjoyable for people of all...

Music fans - Check out StereoTube Player for YouTube Mp3 Movies, now for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 27 Mar 2013 5:21 am
We first featured SteroTube Player back when it launched for the BlackBerry PlayBook, however the developer recently dropped me a line to let me know that the BlackBerry 10 version is now available and OMG - I love it! I tend to watch quite a lot of music videos/live performances on YouTube and with StereoTube not only can you watch/listen to videos but you can also download them straight...

Add some jazz to your videos with VideoFX for BlackBerry 10

Posted by DJ Reyes on 19 Mar 2013 3:47 pm
I enjoy taking photos and videos on my BlackBerry devices. Mostly of silly family antics or my cats running around. While BlackBerry 10 has a baked in photo editor, complete with filters, the video player doesn't give you the ability to add filters. I know for some, you'll see no need for filters but it's always nice to have options. That's when VideoFX for BlackBerry 10 comes in. VideoFX lets...

Like to take photos of yourself? You should take a look at Snap for BlackBerry 10.

Posted by James Richardson on 9 Mar 2013 4:26 pm
Snap is a new camera application for BlackBerry 10 with a twist. I'm not talking about filters like many apps currently have. Snap is a sound triggered camera app. That may sound a bit weird but it's actually pretty sweet. Imagine you want to take some photos of yourself. Without Snap you would be restricted to using the front facing camera and would need to hold the BlackBerry. So with Snap...

Looking for a new sweet radio app for your BlackBerry 10 smartphone? Check out Radio Player+

Posted by James Richardson on 9 Mar 2013 7:38 am
As I write this BlackBerry 10 is still less than two months old but for you music fans out there it's already nice to see a decent selection of Radio applications rocking out in BlackBerry World. Radio Player+ is the latest I have been tinkering around with and although the name is not as well know as some of the other house hold names (yet) such as Nobex or Slacker, the developers of Radio...

Manage your 2-step authenticator codes with Authomator and its active frame

Posted by Richard Devine on 1 Mar 2013 2:44 pm
If you're using a service that allows 2-step authentication -- GMail and Dropbox are a couple of high-profile names -- you really ought to be using it. There's a lot to be said for the extra layer of security it provides. This isn't a post on how to activate 2-step authentication. This is all about Authomator, probably the best way to manage your 2-step authentication codes on BlackBerry 10. ...

He's a cheeky fella - Pop Corny comes to BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 22 Feb 2013 12:30 pm
You may remember Pop Corny from a while ago - we covered it when it was first launched for the BlackBerry PlayBook. I enjoyed playing it then and I still do now as it has made its way to BlackBerry 10. The game was first available on Android and iOS before the PlayBook but the developer saw the potential of the new BlackBerry platform and decided to commit.   Pop Corny is the name of the...
