FaceFlow teases BlackBerry 10 app - Still on track for Q1 release

By Adam Zeis on 17 Jan 2013 11:32 am

FaceFlow stated a few months back that their app would be "coming soon" to BlackBerry 10. Hitting up the CrackBerry forums today, the founder of FaceFlow let us know that the team is hard at work in hopes of getting the app ready for BlackBerry 10 by January 30th. If you haven't seen it before, FaceFlow offers free video chat for mobile and on the web. They are currently looking for comments and feedback while they get things sorted, so if you want to show your support or offer up a suggestion, hit up the forums and let them hear it. Check out the video above for a quick teaser of FaceFlow on BlackBerry 10 as well.

Slick video.. Slick app. Can't wait to try it.

This app is going to make BB10 S-I-C-K.......in a great way!

I don't know what I would do with out my berries!

Sansu94 Jan 17, 2013 at 11:53 am

Yeah it look great can't wait 12 day to go...!!

athosellinas Jan 17, 2013 at 11:54 am

working perfect on Playbook browser, far better than imo.im!

Can you use the front camera? It seems to only detect the rear one. Plus I have to use my BB as a mouse to be able to navigate properly. I will try again in a few though, to check if this is a user error lol.

athosellinas Jan 17, 2013 at 2:54 pm

works just fine with the touch, also if you touch the video box, a drop down list appear, to choose a camera.. "0" for front facing, "1" for rear camera

working very well on my playbook. front camera and all.

I have to use faceflow because the video chat app from rim doesn't think my camera is free.

mrufhayes Jan 17, 2013 at 11:55 am

NICE!!!!!!!

dentynefire Jan 17, 2013 at 11:56 am

I'm feeling manipulated...I like it :D

tjodalv Jan 17, 2013 at 12:01 pm

Fantastic. Looks like a solid quality app. Just what we're looking for.

cranky_berry Jan 17, 2013 at 12:19 pm

I can't wait for this. Looks great!

THBW Jan 17, 2013 at 12:20 pm

Love the video especially the last 2 seconds. Keep it going. I'm excited.

nelsonpml Jan 17, 2013 at 12:31 pm

Looks really good!
But what's with the apple-like-reminiscent-music in that video? XD For a moment my brain turned to the dark side.....

EsJayDee Jan 17, 2013 at 12:45 pm

Looks really nice.

BB_Bmore Jan 17, 2013 at 12:48 pm

Very clean and crisp awesomeness.

Techno-Emigre Jan 17, 2013 at 12:58 pm

First, thank you for your hard work in helping BB10 shine. I am sure some very long hours and neglect of sleep and relationships is taking place. Second, thanks for asking the CB Nation what we think. We love it and hopefully some people with a bit of expertise will step forward with good suggestions. Excellent vid.

For me the biggest deal is cross-platform and easy enough for children to use. Also, integration with the BB10 parental controls.

w0lfgang Jan 17, 2013 at 1:13 pm

Wow that's cool....now where is Skype?

FLO494 Jan 17, 2013 at 1:17 pm

Is it the 30th yet.....this app is a must have ..good job..

dperry360 Jan 17, 2013 at 1:24 pm

Very hot teaser, I hope it has the option of running on and off wifi. TWO more weeks to go!!

Living Bold-ly!

BruvvaPete2 Jan 17, 2013 at 2:10 pm

Four way video chat... daaaamn! Can iPhones or any Android devices do that?
*Edit*
IF you guys want to see something else that's pretty cool check out this BB10 Cascades MapView. It puts other maps to shame:

Thanks for sharing that Bruvva, looks like VERY good maping!

And the FaceFlow looks to be great too. BB10 looks better and better every day!

00stryder Jan 19, 2013 at 1:45 am

That. Is. Awesome.

Mr Gill Jan 17, 2013 at 1:54 pm

Amazing app, however the teaser was a bit crude.

_BlackCherry_ Jan 17, 2013 at 2:08 pm

Cross-platform,what else? Make it as simple to use as possible, make it attractive, let's hope it runs smooth, make a second -even more attractive- teaser showing off all of what the customers need to see... and we don't need Skype anymore. Great alternative.

elbo Jan 17, 2013 at 2:18 pm

Yeah we don't need skype! We can just tell our various bosses, colleagues, clients, family, ect. to switch to this! That makes much more sense.

w0lfgang Jan 17, 2013 at 5:12 pm

+1!

BB_Bmore Jan 17, 2013 at 2:33 pm

I can't help but to smile ear to ear knowing I had a lot to do with this app coming to BlackBerry :D

kelom Jan 17, 2013 at 3:51 pm

I used this app (web app) on my Playbook and running very smooth, can't wait this app available on Blackberry App World.

BTheKing Jan 17, 2013 at 4:11 pm

This is perfect marketing! I will be picking this up the day I have a Z10 and an X10 in my hands. BlackBerry should take notes from this company on how to market a product.

revil-0-316 Jan 17, 2013 at 6:24 pm

This is the power of multi tasking. I'm now jumping into conclusion that the killer feature of BBM Video Chat will be able to handle multiple video chat at once, wow! Imagined you can video call your wife and your kids and or having a conference video call anywhere in the world, that's amazing! Faceflow is a great addition for this for sure. Go TeamFaceflow and Go TeamBlackBerry! We the consumer are here to support you all the way!

Face Flow, AKA Face TIME, AKA Apple iPhone rip off? Sigh...

Dany Pell Jan 17, 2013 at 6:36 pm

FaceFlow was created 3 years ago, a little before FaceTime ;)

Mr.Black.Berry Jan 17, 2013 at 7:57 pm

How is it a rip off? Unless your refering to the name "face" in the app. Other than that, its another vid chat app aside from skype and facetime. Besides, correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think "facetime" can have multiple split screen vid chats all @ the sametime can it??? Just asking...

BruvvaPete2 Jan 18, 2013 at 6:50 am

Seriously? Come on.

Dany Pell Jan 17, 2013 at 6:37 pm

Thanks everybody for the great comments. Great to see such interest in what we're building. We are taking your comments very seriously!

MozThaGreat Jan 17, 2013 at 7:26 pm

It should be us thanking you and your team for this GREAT app Dany. You're going to have a lot of very happy customers.

ishamid Jan 17, 2013 at 10:59 pm

Most importantly, it makes Skype much less relevant, if not irrelevant altogether.

Thanks, good luck and best wishes!

MozThaGreat Jan 17, 2013 at 7:26 pm

That vulgar ending/teaser has me soooooooooo EXCITED! Not gonna lie didn't think the Z10 was powerful enough to handle group chat in a four-way!!!! Can't freakin' wait!!!

Anybody think that people will be able to BBM Video/voice chat from playbook(without bridge) to bb device?? Very curious to how RIM is going to handle PB and BB10. Haven't heard much PB news lately.
