CrackBerry 10 App updated to v1.2 - adds article commenting, forums search, subscriptions and more!

Own a BlackBerry Z10 and haven't downloaded the CB10 app yet? If so, you're crazy. Don't be crazy. Download it here.

The best BlackBerry 10 app keeps on getting better! You can now download CB10 v1.2 from BlackBerry World (learn how).

As promised, v1.2 adds support for commenting on articles. We wanted to build support for article comments into the first version of the app, but the old CrackBerry website didn't have support for our commenting api. With the new CrackBerry website now here, so is support for comments. CB10 app users have already discovered the feature even before we could get this post blogged up - scroll through the comments to our recent articles and you'll find no shortage of Posted via CB10 signatures.

Beyond article commenting, we've rolled out a number of other features (including forum search) and fixed a number of bugs. Hit up the gallery above for a visual walk through and keep reading for the full change log.

CB10 v1.2 Change Log

New Features:

Article Comments: You can now post comments, also changed to display 50 comments per page.
Forums Search: Search the forums from within the app.
Forums and Thread Subscriptions: Manage and view your forums and thread subscriptions.

Double-tap header to scroll to top.
Background downloads (while the device is sleeping) are now a toggle in settings
Action Menus more consistent
Several new icons

Bug Fixes in this Release:

Rewrote Authentication system
Added Progress Indicator on Account Page
Fixed crash in forums when not online
Fixed crash on app closure
Fixed page skipping in forums thread

Known Issues in this build:

Scrolling to your posted comment has issues when the comment you are replying to has multiple nested comments.
App may show white pages if you are in offline mode. Close and open app to resolve.
We've got a little typo on the word participated. Already fixed for next build.

Haha Kevin. There had to be some kind of a prize for posting first on this article with the CB10 app.

Anyways excellent app, I find myself checking it more frequently than fb and twitter. CrAcK

Kevin if all bb10 apps were made like this, there would be no worries about BlackBerry being a competitor. Hopefully it happens

proudtobe_bb Mar 8, 2013 at 8:46 pm

I've noticed, of you click 'subscribe to thread' within the CB10 app, I don't actually get emails to notify me if someone has commented in the thread. Is this my settings or a problem with the app? Thanks

Kevin, great job on updating the app and to the rest who helped out! This app just makes the BB10 experience so much more amazing. The flow, the smoothness, the functionality, it's all just incredible!! Thank you!

All Marcus Adolfsson on the app... I just give him feedback when he asks. Follow @madolfsson on the twitters.

I don't want to be that guy but I'm going to anyway. If you go to forums. Then click on participated. Participated is spelled wrong at top off the screen lol.

Posted via CB10

jvictor77 Mar 9, 2013 at 12:04 am

You're not that guy. It's been well documented already!

Posted via CB10 on my Z10 baby!!

bbcat Mar 8, 2013 at 10:42 pm

Question? Why can't I see the site landscape view on the Z10? A small irritation but it'd be nice.

Posted via CB10

Playbook007 Mar 8, 2013 at 11:44 pm

The landscape issue and the spelling of participated will be fixed next release as posted... now I would like to know how to reply to a comment from CB10? Without going to the browser.

Ok....I figured it out.....lol

Any BlackBerry faithful that have spare time can help defend BlackBerry on Engadget. Before it was nothing but a complete RIM bashing site. Now the Apple fanboys are fairly quiet, but the editors and android boys are quite happy to spread out right lies. It's a shame for someone not to try the z10 because of these misleading statements.

Navigating crackberry with this app is so much quicker than on the site on my desktop - it's all I do now ! Thanks guys! (this voice dictation rocks!)

The One and Only, that App I love so much.. Crackberry, here comes !

SFWriter Mar 9, 2013 at 8:26 am

Looks good; I like it. Except for the fact that I'm getting a 'your account has been banned' message when I try and leave a comment. I'm so saddened by this.

Kevin Michaluk Mar 9, 2013 at 8:45 am

Drop your feedback there on the Bug Reporting thread. Doesn't really make sense... unless you've been banned... which it looks like you haven't. They'll have to check into it. Thx for the patience!

misskalunji Mar 9, 2013 at 9:41 am

I meant to reply to you but just slide top from bottom you'll see account tap on it, your account information should appear or login. Instead of you've been banned message, it should say that you aren't logged in instead. :)

misskalunji Mar 9, 2013 at 9:38 am

Loving the app better than the website as well. Simple and straight forward. Well done.

Posted via CB10

misskalunji Mar 9, 2013 at 9:39 am

The been banned issue. Slide From topp to bottom, tap on account. It needs to "Populate" your account before letting you post.

I was already really impressed that you guys made an app for the website. I've received a few updates since, showing dedication and a desire to improve. Well done!

CB team, I installed the CB10 app but just can't log-in through it :/ . I can browse and read everything perfectly, but when I try to log into my account, it gets stuck on the log-in page with "Please wait" button grayed for out a zillion light light years (or just a little less than that). Any help appreciated. The app is good and CB worked fine on my 9900, but just doesn't let me log-in. TIA.
