BlackBerry users know it's a pain having to download images for HTML emails. More often than not you'd just like the images to load on their own and be done with it. Show Me The Images is the solution to that problem. The app can be setup with various options and will automatically download images in all emails or just those you specify. You can choose to setup a safelist for downloading images for specific contacts, use the menu option to Show Me The Images or just have them download for all emails. Various options in the app let you tweak things a bit so you can pick what size images to download, how to mark emails as read and more. Show Me The Images is an app that I always have on my devices and it truly is on my list of must haves. It sells regularly for $2.99 but today you can grab it at 50% off for just $1.49 in the CrackBerry App Store.

Automatically download email images with Show Me The Images - Get it today for 50% off!
I have a copy of this, best thing EVER! I despised having to click to show images and now it does it for me automatically like it should have done in the beginning :)
Looks like a really handy app!
Clear and/or single pixel images are a very common way that spammers/marketers use to track information about what emails are read by what email addresses. I think I'll avoid paying someone money to make a spammers life easier.
What's the difference between this app and the get images option in the menu?
Cuz people are apparently too lazy to press to buttons and they would instead pay money for something that they can simply do in half a second.
The human population has become increasingly lazy.
Trust me friend if you set 8e-mail accounts to your Blackberry and get more than 150-200 e-mails a day it makes you sick to pres that buttons everytime. I got it till I got my 9700 past year and it really saves my time and keyboard :)
I disagree with the above comment but everyone is entitle to their own opinion. The app offers additional features not mentioned in the review i.e. SAFE LIST METHOD.Once installed, a convenient menu item is added to your address book and messages application (when you open an e-mail) that allow you to add and remove contacts easily. An entry is also added to your BlackBerry Options screen to control the entire application.Add your family members, your normal eBay e-mails and more.
For $1.49 / £0.94 it worth every penny take advantage of the offer I work out five times a week so I would not consider myself lazy.
I love Show Me the Images, it makes reading so much better than "get the images" option. This app is a necessity.
Dope app, but I wish the 'Berry did that by itself, without an app.
Why so few comments? Because most people don't want to see the crap ads etc that bb is blocking.
I bought this app a few months ago. Frankly - there is NO WAY I can do without it. I'm on BES and this app simply displays all my HTML email immediately. I used to hate (I know this is a strong word) opening an email and selecting "get images" or "more all". I just wanted to be snappy with email and see it as is on my laptop. This program is worth it. Yes - the Berry should do it natively, I agree. However, it is a worthy purchase while this feature isn't native.
Seriously, this is why some BB app makers don't make money. This should be $0.99
Why is everything $2.99 or more with BB apps?
Go for volume, that's what other platform-devs have figured out.... it's not that hard.
why isn't this part of the OS?
I would love to try this one to see how it works. I receive so many emails and if this app downloads automatically then it will be fantastic.
People are moaning about this app? Are they nuts? :p
This is a must have app people!If you trial it, you already be using it full time. Not only does it download all images automatically, it can mark emails read at the same time. Meaning you can open them, close the e-mail while it finishes downloading the images and all attachments.
Spammer will spam you regardless of whats in the e-mail, that's why we have spam filter and safe lists. This app doesn't make it easier to get spammed, it doesn't create spam, someone else does.
At 50% off this is a real bargain. The fact BB can't do this natively is ridiculous!
50% off,cant beat that
