One of my favorite native BlackBerry 10 apps has received yet another update - Whine. The third party Vine app brings all the goodness from Vine and gives it a sweet BB10 feel, including a beautiful dark theme and now BBM integration.
If you missed our hands on video with Whine you can catch up with it here, but seeing as the app is free to download you may as well just give it a go if you haven't already. In addition, it's compatible with all BlackBerry 10 devices.
As you'll see from the list below there's a mix of fixes and new features. With third party apps like Whine I can't even see why we would want the official Vive app on BlackBerry 10.
New in the latest version:
- Parsing contacts completely fixed.
- Comments text limited to 120 characters.
- Front cam vines flipped thumbnail fixed.
- BBM integration.
- Landscape support.
- Save and reuse SSL sessions increasing network speed.
- DNS lookup warmup decreasing startup time and load.
- Prices are back in Donation dialog.
- Cache auto control, purging everything older than 7 days on app start.
If you're not seeing the update just yet please try again later. It has been approved by BlackBerry and is rolling out.
