Urbanspoon App for BlackBerry Smartphones Now Available!!

The guys at Xtreme Labs, developers extraordinaire, let us get the first look at the upcoming urbanspoon app for BlackBerry last night at the Dev Con opening reception. With this app, you can easily locate restaurants in your area by spinning the "tumbler". Let urbanspoon choose a restaurant at random, or specifiy the type of cuisine you're looking for. The tumbler rolls, and you are presented with information including phone number, map and restaurant reviews. The Storm version even allows you to spin the tumbler by shaking the device.

Get urbanspoon for BlackBerry: The app should be landing in BlackBerry App World over the next few days, but you don't have to wait to download it. Visit urbanspoon.com/blackberry from your BlackBerry's web browser to download it.

I have been emailing them asking for this ever since the Storm1 arrived! I can't wait :))))

Actually its already available, i just downloaded it. visit www.urbanspoon.com/bb from your bb browser.

Diwnloaded it to my Storm and it works beautifully.

Really liked this on my buddy's "other" phone. Good work.

I just got it and I love it!

Just picked it up for my storm...I love it. I've been using it on my iPOD touch for about a year now...it's perfect for when you and your significant other can't agree/choose a place to eat...now you can just leave it to fate.

Sweet!

 
 
Posted by BrianFTC Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

I have been waiting for this. YAY!

ohhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaa!

This app works very well

 
 
Posted by crisgq Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

great app!

 
 
Posted by AngryChineseDriver Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

...and I'm glad to see that BB will carry more and more. No more "shotty not picking!" fights with friends any longer!

 
 
Posted by TwistedLIE Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

absolutely amazing... thanks for FREE app!!!!!

 
 
Posted by Carmona12 Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

is it compatible with os 5.0? lol, sorry for the question. It might seem stupid, but since my error 523 after installing a theme, I'm extra cautious.

 
 
Posted by jallot Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

Not sure if urban spoon is 5.0 compatible. I've got a tour running 5.0.0.230. For some reason I am unable to read the reviews for restaurants that I know have reviews for them. The search doesn't work as well.

Anyone else seeing this?

 
 
Posted by D1PHAM Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

I'm experiencing the same problem with .230.

 
 
Posted by saber87 Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

works fine on a 9700 running a very late OS

 
 
Posted by mbs Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

Working just perfectly on my Storm 2 (OS 5), even the shake-to-spin feature.

Make sure when you hit their website that you download the right version for your phone. For Storm users, there is a specific Storm download link.

 
 
Posted by WardD Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

On my Storm 2, it hangs and forces a power cycle and returns with the following error message:

Uncaught exception: App Uubanspoon is not responding process terminated.

Oh, well.

 
 
Posted by enigmalea Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

I've got the app running on my Storm 2. It's a hit at my office, where we can never decide where to go for lunch.

I didn't DL through app world, though, I went directly to the website through BB broweser.

 
 
Posted by WardD Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

Yes, that's how I got mine - directly from the website via the BB browser. I'll uninstall it and try again...

 
 
Posted by TDay Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

Works fine on my Storm with 5.0.

 
 
Posted by BrianFTC Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

Did anybody shake your BB to spin as for iPhone and iPod Touch by accident? I did LOL

 
 
Posted by jgreen2007 Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

Works great on my Storm1 with 5.0. Shook the phone, it made a sound, vibrated, and spun the wheels. Nice integration with the new Google maps. I love it.

 
 
Posted by UPSTREAMMIAMI Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

it shakes by it self and it wont stop.. i took it off

 
 
Posted by BlkBear Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

Found a few places I would not have known about otherwise, near work and a couple near home.

First ones to implement the tumbler? I created a tumbler on my StormSlots game almost a year ago. =D

Either way great freebie app

 
 
Posted by paulmike3 Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

I logged and was about to rip em a new one about that. Props to DMG for being the true FIRST to implement the tumbler.

 
 
Posted by YourFriendWayneD Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

how could they say the tumbler is new.. pshhh good ole DMG mad it happen..storm slots ftw lol although you gotta admit theirs is very sexy in design..but still tisk tisk

 
 
Posted by chrs1212 Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

Thank you Urbanspoon for such a great free app!!! Works flawlessly on my Storm 1 (os 5.0). Beautiful interface with great graphics.

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

This app is awesome! I simply love it! I'm running 5.0.0.314 on my 8900 and it works flawlessly. :D

 
 
Posted by webmastir Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

that took forever for it to get ported over to BB, as usual :(

 
 
Posted by ramonaquimby Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009 824 days ago

insanely fabulous. gorgeous interface. thank you!!

 
 
Posted by thablackguy Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

Ya know until I see that pop up on the app, I'm going to have to assume you had a stroke. ;)

 
 
Posted by jwilcox09 Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

I can get this to work on my tour. I get a memory error when i try to use is...

 
 
Posted by mearley44 Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

As soon as I downloaded it the phone rebooted and up popped a reload software: 552 error. Had to reload the entire os. I was running the most recent 4.7 version on a verizon tour. Hopefully it was a freak incident, but I don't plan to download this again before 5.0.

 
 
Posted by flying_hellfish Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

Installed off the appworld and tried to run it and nothing happens on my S2. Tried a battery pull, deleting and reinstalling, still nothing.

 
 
Posted by enigmalea Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

I did get it to work on my S2, but I didn't download it through appworld. I went straight to the website through BB.

 
 
Posted by pounder001 Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

Finally, works flawlessly on my S1 w/5.0.328!!

Holy Cow! It's about time! On a side note, THANKS to Veterans and Current Military! Happy Veterans Day!

Been waiting for Urbanspoon's app. Love it. No iPhone, no worries. App works great on my Curve. Tumbler function is sweet. Kudos, U'spoon!!

 
 
Posted by jbjarko Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

Is this application produced by Wanderspot LLC?? Version 1.

If so it is already in BB AppWorld.

 
 
Posted by Detective M Downs Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

especially since Zagat To Go doesn't work with 5.0 OS

 
 
Posted by sefiroh Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

very cool ! works perfect on my S1 with 5.0

 
 
Posted by cafe_civet Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

Works great. I've been waiting for this app ever since I tried out an iPhone. Of course, I greatly prefer the Berry, and this app makes it even better.

 
 
Posted by btdown Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

It sucks we had to wait this long for it.
