If you're not a PC or console gamer feel free to ignore this post as it probably won't be of interest. However, millions of people do spend a ton of time on their computers, PlayStation or Xbox and you may well be pleased to hear that you can join your Android or iPhone buddies by having Twitch on your BlackBerry 10 device.
I'm not a gamer myself, but I've noticed that many of the YouTube vloggers I subscribe to use it and also run gaming channels. You won't find Twitch in BlackBerry World, but it's sitting loud and proud within the Snap app which you can side-load onto your BlackBerry.
If you've not come across Twitch before it allows you to watch and comment on it videos game streams live from the app. With the ability to follow channels that are of interest it's an easy way to keep tabs on the games you love to watch and interact with.
I fired it up on my BlackBerry Passport today and it works perfectly. Not that I will be spending much time on it, but I'm sure many of you will. Check it out and let us know what you think?

Grab a bargain from ALDI in the UK with their Android app
