I downloaded this on Sunday. Seems to be OK but haven't messed around with it much yet. The original plan was to remove Viigo from my 8330 but started the program up one last time to see if I wanted to keep it and I got a message that a new version was available. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

I deleted Viigo a month or so ago. I just couldn't take the memory vacuumm any more. Any word yet if that problem has been fixed?

...Guess I'll give it a try. I can always delete again I suppose.

its fine for me if i dont keep it open in the background. were you letting it run in the background? your best bet is to completely close it out when your not using it, then its fine. it doesnt use any memory when its not running.

if the software can tweet articles with a desc. for the article. why not just let us tweet using viigo too? the functionailty is clearly there.

We do have an alpha version of the app with expanded Twitter functionality and we will be releasing it in a future update. Crackberry Kevin does a great job of keeping people up to speed on our developments and I offer you to follow me, @mjbogart, or our CEO, @RuddockMH, on twitter as well.

Just tried to add 'Local Movie Showtimes' but received an error:

Error Running Script. Execution : Command 'http://v1.channels.services.viigo.com/scripts/movies.vii' does not exist

what is the bad rap this program has is it memory or battery life? I hear alot of people comment on how they don't like it. Does it have a facebook plugin?

I had high hopes of getting windows live off of my bb. But I get nothing after "successfully" adding a movie times channel

I like the new Viigo a lot better than all previous versions. I still think it's responsible for eating my memory so I have to look into that. Thanks for the update CB.com!

OK im tweaked right before this drop there was beta like i downloaded it was better then this one. it had a social app so you can use twitter . well this drop a day later and i upgraded but no social app what gives? in this article it mentions using twitter but i cant find it. Any one have a clue where to find it? im on a 9530 storm

 
 
Posted by Matt Bogart Tuesday, Feb 03, 2009 1104 days ago

The difference between the version that was released today versus the one released within last week or so is that this is the official public Beta as opposed to the private Beta. It would be great to continue to receive feedback on the private Beta and if you use the link that was previously provided you can reinstall it.

I have the same error reported above by nfoman:

"Just tried to add 'Local Movie Showtimes' but received an error:

Any ideas on a fix?

I really like this update and it fixed a few annoying problems I had in the past. Love the new icons at the bottom too.

Does anyone know how you add flight itinerary info...

 
 
Posted by Matt Bogart Tuesday, Feb 03, 2009 1104 days ago

Once you are in the Flights & Travel service and have performed a search for a flight, and presumably found the flight you would either like to take or are taking, click on the devices menu button (to the left of the track ball on most BB's). A list of options comes up including the ability to add that selected flight to your itinerary. When you return to the main Flights & Travel screen and select "itinerary", that flight will appear.

For reference, a how to movie explaining by step how to do this will soon to be available on the viigo website.

Viigo is my #1 BB app so I'm always psyched to see a new beta release. I'll be interested in trying out the ability to add stock portfolios in the Stocks & Finance section but more interested in seeing how the the Movie information works in the Entertainment channel. So far I get a script bug when I try to add Local Move Showtimes so I hope that gets resolved soon. But if it works, I may have found a good reason to remove Poynt Beta.

 
 
Posted by todd123 Tuesday, Feb 03, 2009 1104 days ago

Well the movie channel works if I add a Canadian City, no such luck for U.S. though. The format of city name alone for selecting a city seems problematic. How does it handle two cities with the same name. The flight itinerary now is different, more info but the previous version also included a graphical view like flightstats.com does. This app is great and having everything in one place is really convenient. Love it.

Posted by Matt Bogart Wednesday, Feb 04, 2009 1104 days ago

Are you able to land on a download page but can't find the download button or is the page not loading?

.....any luck finding a solution for the error message?

 
 
Posted by Jesse S Wednesday, Feb 04, 2009 1103 days ago

Hey norcal - we think we've fixed the issue that was triggering the error messages. You shouldn't see it anymore.

 
 
Posted by rjroll Wednesday, Feb 04, 2009 1103 days ago

I just downloaded viigo and I can't find where its going or being saved to. Does anyone know where I can find this app or if there is a way I can save it to a certain folder? I'm using a 9530 storm and have already checked in the downloads folder as well as restarting my device and reinstalling the app.

It's so SLOW, it hurts.
Crap.

 
 
Posted by jennsingle Thursday, Feb 05, 2009 1103 days ago

Am I going to have to re-enter all my RSS feeds or will it transfer my preferences over to 8?
Also,Crackberry sent an email to my BB, meaning I CAN get this new version for my Bold, right?

 
 
Posted by Matt Bogart Thursday, Feb 05, 2009 1102 days ago

Yes, Viigo is certainly available on the Bold and so long as you have an account set up all your feeds will be there when you upgrade.

 
 
Posted by jennsingle Friday, Feb 06, 2009 1102 days ago

And the RSS feeds? Any idea?

 
 
Posted by indigoblu Thursday, Feb 05, 2009 1103 days ago

I was able to add two cities that I wanted to add, but, the "add theatres" feature does not add all of the theatres in a city, only a couple.

 
 
Posted by mjbogart Thursday, Feb 05, 2009 1102 days ago

Pleased to see that you are trying one of our newest features. While it is possible that our content provider does not have access to all of the theaters in America, Canada and the UK, we hope that the information provided will be of value to you.

 
 
Posted by joseatnj Thursday, Feb 05, 2009 1102 days ago

Not sure why when I send the link to my phone and I click on the text link that says http://getviigo.com/crackberry It takes me to the viigo site but a white screen with a bar on the right that doesn't have anything for me to download from....

 
 
Posted by mjbogart Thursday, Feb 05, 2009 1102 days ago

It could be that the "emulation mode" setting in your browser configuration is not set to BlackBerry. Please let me know if that is not the cause.

 
 
Posted by Newbie1965 Friday, Feb 06, 2009 1102 days ago

I am new to Blackberry, do I need to delete my current version of Viigo BEFORE I download the new Beta 8 version.
Please help a new guy. Thanks

 
 
Posted by helphand Friday, Feb 06, 2009 1101 days ago

This movie feature is great in concept, but it sucks in execution. There are at least five cities nearby with theaters, as it stands I have to enter each city individually and the results are grouped by city. Way too much hassle and way too difficult to easily see what theater a movie is playing at.

The interface should be changed to be zip centric or something, e.g., enter your zip and all theaters within a certain miles radius are listed (or all movies playing in theaters in that radius). Would be much more useful then.

 
 
Posted by Mr.L09 Saturday, Feb 07, 2009 1101 days ago

this App is cool

 
 
Posted by pastorrod Sunday, Feb 15, 2009 1092 days ago

I agree that the movie concept is great and that it would be great to get theaters zip centric. At the very least let us input the US State. After all, there are cities of the same name in more than one state. Thanks
