Now that BlackBerry 10.2.1 is available there has been an influx of folks wanting to know if their favorite app works when the Android version is loaded. To help keep things a bit more organized, we figured we should put together our very own CrackBerry list of apps that are known to be working or 'mostly' working on BlackBerry 10.2.1.
Rather than picking just 50 or so random apps though, we dug through the forums and comments section to find apps people really wanted and tested them out. Of course, there is some exceptions because even though a TON of folks want banking apps, we don't exactly have accounts all over the world to test those out.
In addition to this post, we also set up a thread in the CrackBerry Forum for you all to share what apps you have working as well. As long as you all keep telling us apps that you're wondering about, we'll keep checking them out and testing them. If those apps are working we'll add them to the list.

So there you have it, a nice selection of apps to help get you started should you find you want to run Android apps on BlackBerry 10. I do however want to point out that even though these apps have been tested and verified as working, you could still run into some issues with in-app purchases or the ability to save game data to the cloud if it's through Google. As good as the BlackBerry Android Runtime might be, it's still not a perfect solution and there's still room for improvement but it's a start.
