One for musicians, particularly those who played stringed instruments, though the app description does say that you can use it to tune any instrument. Chromatic Tuner is just that, a chromatic tuner that you can have on you all the time on your BlackBerry 10 smartphone. I tend to tune by ear but sometimes it's nice to let a tuner do the work for you. Join me as we take a closer look at...
Each year I make a list of all the books I want to read over the summer. Whether or not I get to them is a different story. The fact is my tastes are eclectic and the volume of paperbacks and hardcovers that grace my shelves are difficult to organize and keep track of. Book-zy was my application of choice when it came to organizing, sorting, and viewing the all of the titles I own or...
Right before the weekend, we saw the BBM for iOS beta get updated with some new features and now, it's time for the BlackBerry 10 BBM beta to get updated.

When it comes to browsing the internet, I spend more time than I care to admit on the web. As such, I not only use the native browser but a third-party one as well. Browsie Browser frequently pops up on the blogs and in the forums and presents users with a smooth and solid browsing experience. The developer provides top notch support and the application has grown since I first...
You Instagram users out there that use the third party native BlackBerry 10 app Inst10 will want to head over to BlackBerry World today as an update is now available.

In terms of Instagram alternatives as we don't have an official app, we're quite lucky with the current small line up available to us and...
Here's something I know a lot of BlackBerry Beta Zone members that are BlackBerry Passport owners will be glad to see. The BlackBerry Beta Zone app has now been updated and moves into v10.0.0.46 and while the change log isn't huge, it addresses one particular bug that his been in place for a while and that's the 'jumping surveys' that happened when filling out a survey on a Passport...

Just the other day I once again found myself browsing through the impressive selection of BBM Sticker packs that we now have sitting proudly in the BBM Shop. We've asked CrackBerry readers before if they are using stickers, but this time around I was interested to see if you were put off purchasing Sticker packs because of the price? There's a few packs that I thought I would quite...
That's what we have to assume it is anyway given there's no change log to go along with the latest release. Skype did have a pretty widespread bug become known earlier wherein sending "http://:" without the quotes crashed the instant messaging service. The bug affected Skype for Windows, Android and iOS, but not the Mac client and where the BlackBerry 10 version is just an Android port...

As noted on the Inside BlackBerry blog, a new beta is filtering through the Beta Zone for those making use of an Android device and beta testing BBM that finally brings Android Material Design to the app, something BlackBerry committed to bringing...
We have only just seen an update to the beta build but it seems it was stable enough that a release has just been made to the masses and the app is now available from BlackBerry World. The version is the newly revamped and updated UI build that went through BlackBerry Beta Zone. While, the native Facebook app still does Facebook chat, I've been trying this out and it's pretty sleek and...
