Download the Official and Free BlackBerry PlayBook App for CrackBerry.com!

Download The CrackBerry App for the BlackBerry PlayBook!

OK BlackBerry PlayBook owners, it's time to fire up your tablet and head to App World to download The CB App! Our friends at ShaoSoft put this one together for us, and it's a CrackBerry must-have. The CB App takes the best of CrackBerry.com and puts it into a nice dashboard app that gives you the latest news, forum and video content and gets you to where you want to go quickly.

Features of The CB App include:

  • Integrated blog reader with ability to post comments
  • Built-in video player to keep up to date
  • Scrolling feed of the latest Blac​kBer​ry Play​Book​ discussions from the forums.
  • Quick shortcuts to the most popular features of the CrackBerry website
  • Easy search of CrackBerry's blogs and forums 

It's off to a great start and is only going to get better as we add deeper integration and rollout some additional new features. For the whopping cost of FREE OF CHARGE, this one is a no brainer - EVERY PLAYBOOK OWNER SHOULD DOWNLOAD THIS APP. Follow the link below or just head to App World and search for crackberry or cb. One of these days I'd sure love to see RIM just let us put the CrackBerry name in App World... but in the meantime, remember, it's THE CB APP. Now go download it and be sure to give it a 5 star rating and positive review!

CrackBerry ROCKS the PlayBook!

 
 
Posted by ekraig Thursday, Jun 09, 2011 350 days ago

Well done

 
 
Posted by HaTaX Thursday, Jun 09, 2011 350 days ago

Was loving it! Till I tried to open a forums link and it left me with a black screen and an almost completely locked up UI. :) (Still could get to power down / reset by holding power button)

Probably nothing to do with the app, seems the latest upgrade brings some headaches with it.

Great job Shao!!!

When the app loads, it should announce "CrackBerry ... dot com" like in your videos/podcasts. :)

 
 
Posted by acrogenesis Thursday, Jun 09, 2011 350 days ago

nice works great, but it would be even better if you could browse crackberry from there and not opening the browser, even if its a browser inside the app it would be cool.

 
 
Posted by Shao128 Thursday, Jun 09, 2011 350 days ago

Stay tuned, got something in the works for the forums....

 
 
Posted by birdman_36 Thursday, Jun 09, 2011 350 days ago

Wow, a shortcut icon for handhelds and a full-blown app for PlayBook? Hmmm...

 
 
Posted by theHip Thursday, Jun 09, 2011 350 days ago

YES! This is great fucking news. I cannot wait to download this.

 
 
Posted by javieraua Thursday, Jun 09, 2011 350 days ago

Will download this when i buy my Playbook![- Next month :( -] Will you get a notification if there is a new post ?

fan-ffing-tastic!
and it works nicely here in Holland, which is more than can be said for Blackberry News...

 
 
Posted by tim99va Thursday, Jun 09, 2011 350 days ago

Very well done. Much better than 99.9% of the crap that's in app world now. Just wish we had more quality apps like this. Keep the updates coming!

 
 
Posted by feldmen01 Thursday, Jun 09, 2011 350 days ago

Awesome!!!

No more accidentally hitting the Crackberry store when trying to scroll around!!!

 
 
Posted by pjray Thursday, Jun 09, 2011 350 days ago

well its about time guys.

 
 
Posted by crwblyth Thursday, Jun 09, 2011 350 days ago

Downloaded and reviewed, good app, needs the content inside of the app instead of an internal web browser. As I read above in a reply by the developers, it sounds like it is on its way. 4* review, when updated it will be a 5* app.

Thanks Crackberry and ShaoSoft!

 
 
Posted by medicchop28 Thursday, Jun 09, 2011 350 days ago

Awesome! Great job!

Fantastic app! Loving it.

 
 
Posted by eKafara Thursday, Jun 09, 2011 350 days ago

I'm waiting for the day that the CrackBerry app comes preinstalled on BlackBerry Phones and tablets.

This is the nicest site app I've ever seen or used. Very well done.

Posted by tfrankson Friday, Jun 10, 2011 350 days ago

Oh yea been waiting for this. Sweet

 
 
Posted by mmcpher Friday, Jun 10, 2011 350 days ago

Worth waiting for! Hope you can add the forums to the format. I would be interested to read, if appropriate, what insights the developers gained from this drill, as to the overall Crackberry assessment of the Playbook and the process of developing and submitting the app to RIM for App World approval. Crackberry take a bow!

 
 
Posted by Thetnaung Friday, Jun 10, 2011 350 days ago

love it . thanks cb. make our life more easier. 1000 stars

 
 
Posted by paulvr01 Friday, Jun 10, 2011 350 days ago

I am accessing the forums from within the app now. Howdya do that without a update to the app itself? Any way it's way cool and those that complained above can bite it!

 
 
Posted by Yosaki Friday, Jun 10, 2011 350 days ago

HOT dangggggggg! Now I want to buy a PlayBook....WOW!

 
 
Posted by SK122387 Friday, Jun 10, 2011 350 days ago

this is such a great application. So well thought out in every aspect. The opening splash page is even the same color of yellowish green as the countertop or whatever magical surface you guys usually do your phone reviews on. Really well done, thanks for keeping it free!

 
 
Posted by AbsoluteT23 Friday, Jun 10, 2011 350 days ago

Hey guys,

The BB App store isnt available in the country Im working in,is there a workaround Kevin? =(

 
 
Posted by PostMortem Friday, Jun 10, 2011 350 days ago

Well done! was it built with the Native SDK [beta]? It seems well made, but lacking in some areas. I'd like for it to load the newest or top commented story by default. Also to be able to slide objects in that box at the bottom left. Maybe the ability to sign in or see some bezel-swipe options. You're always saying how it doesn't seem right when there are no swipe options, but there are none on this app.

I still really like it and will more than likely use it vs the browser because of the load improvements.

 
 
Posted by NIZMO6 Friday, Jun 10, 2011 350 days ago

WOW! Been using for the past day now and i must say this was long needed but so worth the wait. Great app, loads fast and smooth flowing. I love the spinning CB icon when a page is loading really cool. A++

 
 
Posted by Spaceheater Friday, Jun 10, 2011 350 days ago

Great job!!!

 
 
Posted by newcollector Friday, Jun 10, 2011 350 days ago

Looks good. Very Smooth. Once again Crackberry and Shao show the way!

 
 
Posted by pastorbrad Friday, Jun 10, 2011 350 days ago

Very slick and easier than going through the browser unless you're looking for something really obscure.

 
 
Posted by cycling56 Friday, Jun 10, 2011 349 days ago

Got It, Awesome and thanks.

 
 
Posted by alpinechem Friday, Jun 10, 2011 349 days ago

looks good, but your mobile site is awesome. whats the point of this app? just taking space in the phone nothing.

 
 
Posted by tstrike34 Friday, Jun 10, 2011 349 days ago

My review: FREAKING AWESOME!! Well done CB.,..!!! 5 star work from a 5 star site...

 
 
Posted by NFLPLAYBOOK Friday, Jun 10, 2011 349 days ago

I love this site. Why would I want a stripped down version when the Playbook already gives me the whole thing?

 
 
Posted by shootsscores Friday, Jun 10, 2011 349 days ago

meh.

The web site works just fine for me but I do understand that many people are conditioned to want apps.

 
 
Posted by pablomdelgado Friday, Jun 10, 2011 349 days ago

Crackberry on my Playbook now it feels more complete now, LOL....great start more integration and the opening screen announcing crackberry.com like on the videos will be amazing just an idea.....

 
 
Posted by 07thking Sunday, Jun 12, 2011 347 days ago

Awesome guys, I know it will only get better!

 
 
Posted by QuantumFish777 Wednesday, Aug 24, 2011 274 days ago

Wow, this app is awesome. Thanks for a great app, now I can keep my CB obsession going on the move with ease :)
