Download It Now: Free CrackBerry Podcasts App Available in BlackBerry App World!

Download CB Podcasts App for Free from BlackBerry App World!

Yep, that's right... we finally have a "crackberry app" in BlackBerry App World!! You can now download the free CB Podcasts app, powered by Podtrapper, and automatically download and easily listen to CrackBerry Podcasts right on your BlackBerry!

We figured a lot of our CrackBerry Podcast listeners already have Podtrapper (the full version) or listen to the CrackBerry Podcasts via iTunes or the CrackBerry blogs and already have the CrackBerry Mobile Superstore on their device, so we'd reach out in yet another direction by putting it into BlackBerry App World. Huge thanks go to Versatile Monkey for putting this special edition FREE CB Podcasts app together for us.

Download CB Podcasts App for FREE: You can download the CB Podcasts app for free out of BlackBerry App World. If you give it a go, be sure to leave it a 5-Star Rating and give it a positive review. And spread the word... it would be pretty frak'n sweet to see the CB logo in the Top 25 Free Downloads list!

Note to existing Podtrapper Users: If you have the current premium version of Podtrapper installed on your device, installing CB Podcasts will overwrite PodTrapper. The two cannot be installed together, but you are able to listen to the CrackBerry.com Podcast from Podtrapper as well, as it does not require this specific version of the application. If you'd rather skip the free CB Podcasts app and go straight to the premium version of Podtrapper, you can buy it in App World on the CrackBerry App Store.

You know what this means... Crackberry will have to actually churn out shows on a regularly scheduled basis now. *poke* *poke*

Great idea. Gives people an easy/free way to grab and listen to the CB podcasts.

And great for PodTrapper too. People will be so hooked on how easy it is to use that they will likely move to the full version of PT.

PT also offers a 30-day trial of the full product. Really gives people an opportunity to find out if they will like it. Can't usually figure that in a 3 or 7 day trial. Of course I upgraded to the full after only 10 days.

Great partnership!!!!

One of the reasons I stopped listening to crackberry.com Podcasts is just the pain of having to sync it up with my phone all the time. I LOVE your guys' podcasts. This application works, and works well. Kudos!

Love this!! The only podcast I take with me is Crackberry so I never could justify the purchase of Podtrapper

Why is it on Blackberry App world and not Super CrackBerry Shop?

Posted by Kevin Michaluk Tuesday, Mar 30, 2010 785 days ago

we were waiting on app world approval for like a month and just got it today, so wanted to blog it asap once it went live.

we'll get it into the crackberry app store soon... next day or two.

A month?!? No wonder the CB app store kicks app world's ***!!!

Posted by AgentScribe Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 784 days ago

how do i get the CB podcasting app on my DROID?

Posted by aris20 Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 785 days ago

Oh my god, this is soooo AWESOME, I could never download podcast to my bb via Native browser, but now with this I won't miss a CB podcast

Posted by cadzilla74 Wednesday, Mar 31, 2010 785 days ago

I hope everyone saw the disclaimer. I've owned PodTrapper since its beginning and it is truly a great app! Easily top 3 on my Storm. And Marcus aka Versatile Monkey keeps making it better. He answers any and all questions within a day on the Forum at his web site. Truly an unbeatable piece of software.

But do NOT download this free Crackberry version if you already have PodTrapper! I didn't do it but I found the disclaimer was a bit buried in the announcement. If you have PodTrapper already just subscribe to the Crackberry podcast like you would any other.

And for those that don't know, PodTrapper plays audiobooks, too!

I've tried both the email OTA option and the other - all I get is a link that takes me to the same page on my Storm that I got the link from on the pc in the first place. Nothing clickable, nothing to download and no new app found on my Storm. So, how do I get the actual app on my phone?

i would love to down load this but viigo podcast already offers cb podcast and many others also! but it is awesome that my favorite site has offered this to all of us. I enjoy bla1ze and the others with Kevin talking all about blackberries and many other devices ad updates of the conferences that Kevin goes to, to inform us! No wonder he is the fearless leader of our favorite site~! guys good job and I am proud of the work you are doing in our website! I know many of of us complain a lot but its because we care about the crackberry experience and we want to say thank you Kevin< and the others!~ we dont take you for granted all of you guys!

Please tell me there's an OTA link for this! I already have it but i'd much rather the CB version.

Does it look the same just with CB podcast preloaded or something?

Posted by marwatk Thursday, Apr 01, 2010 783 days ago

This version will *only* display the CB podcast, so if you have PodTrapper already you'll want to stick with that. If you don't, you can get it OTA here:

http://ota.versatilemonkey.com/corp/crackberry/

(If you do accidentally install it over PodTrapper there's no need to worry, though. It will keep your settings so if you reinstall PodTrapper you won't have lost anything.)
