Marco Gallo, the developer behind Metal Pixels and Nostalgia recently updated this unique social messaging application Air Messages. Air Messages utilizes geospatial, or location based, messaging to allow individuals all over the world to communicate.
The application received a small update, which is now available in BlackBerry World to download. One of the more salient aspects of this update is Air Messages switched from being free to a paid application. A change was necessary to sustain the cloud server costs and to give BlackBerry 10 users the best experience .
The full change log is shown below.
Changelog version 3.3.1
- Free upgrade to Pro
- Air Messages will notify you new messages around you!
- "New Comment received" Hub notifications
- Whatsapp, Facebook ,Telegram integration (still in beta)
Air Messages is now $2.99 to purchase from BlackBerry World. In addition, the developer has expanded who can download this application by porting it over to Google Play. Now BlackBerry Priv owners are able to participate in this unique messaging service as well.

Air Messages updated with Hub notifications and new features
Got this app for free, now it's asking for $2.99 to update? Nope. Sorry buddy. Not worth the $3 yet.

The update is free if you already had the app installed. Just click update... my concern is still the fact that it gives your exact location rather than just showing the city of the post.

Love this app
Thanks creating a native BB10 app that let's you potential talk to anyone around the world. This could be the start of something big. Keep is coming!

The version on Google Play works also on BB 10. It runs a bit slow though.

So is it Free for Priv on Google play? Not showing price when I go to Google play.

So I downloaded this a long time ago for free. Now I get an update notification and it wants 2.99 to update?
Thats a scam.

When you "throw a message" it shows your EXACT location! That seems like a bad idea to me. I don't want people to know my precise location.

Just press 'throw' button in your message :)
Posted via CB10
I don't understand. I can see the exact location of every "thrown" message, so how does pressing 'throw' change that lol? Am I missing something?

...I guess I'm not

I'm willing to pay more money for a functional native BB 10 Facebook App. :/
Good to see that I'm not the only one confused by this app lol

Anyone know what's the next bb10 phone gonna be. I don't mind passport 2 (with the physical keyboard) add water proof feature.

Me to, I would love to see another Passport but I want the 4 rows key instead.
Posted via CB10
Yep. This was always my complaint. No need to create the silly keyboard. That was an Apple move, to let aesthetics constrain functionality. The phone is already so big it's not like an extra half centimetre would matter.
I touched a Priv and I liked it
@sm88...I think the venice is going to be waterproof and android and really cheap$ :-)
Got it long ago. It just hasn't caught on yet. Maybe when release on the other platforms it will. Glad it's native.
The dev has a hit here. It was on BlackBerry first.

This is a great app, but needs more users

Yeah I thought it was kinda cool concept. Tried it but nobody seems to reply to any of the chats. Basically you just pick a random conversation anywhere in the world then join in.
Theoretically it's interesting.
Posted by Passport on bb10 but not sure for how much longer!
Just needs more users I guess? I'm still about 20% confused as to exactly what this does, lol.

If you want, you can also use this app to advertise. You just put a message on air, and if you are lucky, somebody will check you!
It's simple, nice idea to develope more and more.

Blackbullet clone?

Not at all, this doesn't use Pushbullet.

Kind of confused as to what this app does. Anyone can clear it up for me?
Posted without the aid of AutoCorrect with my physical keyboard via CB10
I feel the same way
Posted via CB10
The concept is very simple : no twitter feeds,no facebook timelines, no limitation! You can communicate,express yourself, create new connections with all peoples around the world !
I think this app it's the best one I made,so let's enjoy Air Messages together :) !
