FindMeHere and Textender -Two useful utilities, free until the end of July!

Oh, I forgot. Tried AT&T's code scanner. Read 1 out of 15...product info. Total waste time. I'd really like to know why developers release apps like this. They have to know they don't work. If all they want is Beta testers they should just say so. It's really a shame too, I would pay for an that works. But the first thing they say is pull the battery, or we've never seen this before...must be your phone. Nonsense. If it works on one it will work on others...or it should or don't release it until it does.

Have tried 3 times on a Bold 9700. Works once or twice then quits. Say it will read UPC codes and get price comparisons. The thing is it will do it sometimes and then not do it. I realize it will not always do a price comparison, they may not have the pricing to give. But, if it get the price once, it should get it again on the exact same item 2 minutes later. Doesn't. Will pull up product info, not price. Or it will just sit loading content forever and ever. This app is just not ready for release yet, at least not for UPC codes. And if it doesn't work for UPC, don't claim that it does. The worst thing is the total lack of response from their support..if they have any. Tried for 4 days to get a response from support to fix the problem. Just wanted to get the software to work...no response. Finally got on the Facebook page and explained the problem. They got back with me and said they would be in contact with me today, that others weren't having the problem (obviously don't read reviews). Never got back with me. But they did take the time to remove my entry on there Facebook page, so what does that tell you. Last time I had to uninstall the software it toally locked my phone, had to do a restore. Thankfully, I do backups.

I was unable to get it as the links were down a few days ago. Is there a way to still get this offer?

thanks for the freebee! awesomeness got textender and love it , also didnt have any issues with th DL Thanks :)

I had Findmehere and used it at least once a week, yet I use now google maps (which has the feature in version 4.2.0) because Findmehere needs GPS lock. Hopefully a new version will come out that allows us to use cellphone location and maybe integrate with the maps application to allow us to select the exact spot.

One can dream...

Thanks for the great post CB!

Used scan life, scanned the code. findmehere worked free with the free code, on my vzw bold.
But want to know if anyone here tried textender yet, and what they think of it

where do you enter the code @ soon as i go to add to cart its asking for my credit card info.

"berrycodesfree" for either app... I extended the free-ness until August 3rd for all the confusion.

Just tried to use scanlife on my 9650 and it didn't work for me.

In the CrackBerry app store, it says Textender is .99, not free.

Now 0,99 each got FindMeHere free but now askes 0.99 for them.

I tried direct to link and scanning, not working for me either way!

Textender has pretty crappy reviews online. Any crackberry fans actually use it or try it out? It wud be a major help for vzw & sprint users. Let us know.
Peace!

Alright guys here's the low down:

First you need a barcode scanner installed. I have not got this to work with the built in scanner in BBM v5.0. Use the Blackberry AppWorld to download ScanLife. It's a free barcode scanner that requires no configuration (and no reboot for me).

Scan the barcode and it will open the download link for this application. Worked like a champ for me on my Bold 9700 running OS 5.0

Same here, I was able to get findmehere, but not textender.

Was able to scan barcode and download FindMeHere, but there's no download option for Textender, even when barcode is scanned. I appreciate the freebie regardless :)

I had to go to the page on Blackberry - wouldn't work on my laptop. But I have it now!

I downloaded it from the mobile website but couldn't from the app.

Can't Download. OTA isn't up.

No go on the Find Me Here link in the store. The link isn't active.

and then you pay if you still want it? Basically a trial?

I would really like to use the Textender app.
Please fix the link.

How do I get these

unable to access OTA link for Textender

Neither of the links work, and neither of the scans work. Could you please fix and let us know when we can download? Thanks.

Hey guys,

I am not sure what is going on with MobiHand, if I need to I will extend the free period. I have an email in with their support to find out why the links are grayed out, be patient with me here.

FindMeHere is available and working through their mobile site: http://bit.ly/9SOehx

Not sure what is going on with Textender

I scanned the barcode no problems, click the barcode and it will send you to mobihand where the download link is active.

I CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT EITHER.

Use the barcode reader...worked fine for me that way..

I'm unable to download either app. It's free until the end of the month, yet you can't download them. What's the point of that?

Why is textender needed? One of the great things about BlackBerry is it allows you to type right on past the limit and tell you how many messages you are sending.

Try again. I used the Barcode to get there.

same...greyed out download link.

Yeah I am having the same issue. I tried to get it through the superstore app and nothing doing.

No link

Tried to download FindMeHere, but it does not seem available either online or OTA.

Is anyone else having trouble downloading these apps?
It looks like the "free download" button is grayed out
