Fantastic gesture by BlackBerry...and very well done DJ for keeping us updated
--Thank you, BlackBerry, for all the 25 gifts; and Thank You, DJ, for keeping track of them
~~ Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to You All ~~
What's the free app for Dec 21? The banner has disappeared from my BlackBerry World. (I'm in BC, Canada).
Ah, Monopoly, got it now!
Again I express my question..
Hi blackberry and crackberry and all BlackBerry lovers. I'm from Iran and I can't access any of these free apps. Please do me a favor and let me know WHY our people can't use blackberry productions in my country? Please answer me
perhaps try going directly to the app page via blog post each day? there are others who dont see the banner as well.

The first 9 days i was getting the banner for BlackBerry World for the 25 Days of Gifts.
All of a sudden form yesterday the banner has disappeared. Any idea how to get it back.
Same here! The banner has been missing since last night! :(

Day 11 BeWeather Pro. Sweeet!
What's the next gift ?
Posted via CB10
i thought its free apps but when i open my bb world..its said i need to pay $.99.wheres the free there?
Cut the rope for $1.99 also, but most likely because not yet past midnight in Eastern Time zone.
Posted via CB10 via Z10.
It's free now, but I had to do a search for "cut the rope".
Downloading as I type.
Posted via CB10 via Z10.
Why is the 7th not free? It's Cut the Rope for $1.99. I thought they'll all be free
I have also had in France !!
Is anyone able to use Color ID properly ? I made the notifications off and no led color ? Could someone advise on this please ?
List not active, anyone having same problems?
Posted via CB10
Day 6: Pacemaker :D
There was no alternate last night at 9:30 when I tried to download. Have anyone else experience this.
Posted via CB10
Hope good games are on for free or apps
Posted via CB10
Day 5: Color ID (it says half price $3 / Rs 150) Hey I wanted it to be free :P
I have only been able to download one out of the 4 that have been offers so far..
And it's not even one I really want... just tried and it worked yesterday...but not today again.. how frustrating..
Posted via CB10
Are you getting any errors?
Are you kidding me? I just read this damn post and missed Angry Birds!!!!
Day 4 South Africa - Alpha Zero
Posted via CB10
now showing in Portugal... thanks
Ok, can anyone please give me instructions? I downloaded and registered and entered my región (Spain).
Unsure where to browse for the apps that are available, please help!
When you go into BlackBerry World there should be a banner that says 25 Days of Gifts. Tap into that and you should see the free download
Posted via CB10
Panorama app would be great!
Posted via CB10
dam missed a day!
3rd day is Card2you in South Africa. My mother can use this lol
Posted via CB10
Sweet !
Even though the 25 day gifts banner shows up, but why does my BB World doesn't show the apps as free (they're worth 0.99) same goes for the angry birds season and shark dash. Is the content regional specific? I'm in Indonesia.
It would not let download in Canada. ..
Posted via CB10
1st day got angry birds got free,today home alone 2 and shark dash - in b.c. Canada. My wife is in phx with z30 but is having trouble downloading, gets an error that says it won't download while roaming even though she's on Wifi and phone data / network is off...
Posted via CB10
Doesn't look like the "free" giveaways are going to be free all day long. It's showing "Jingle All the Way" to rent for $2.99 or buy at $.99. Didn't realize you had to pay for "free".
Question: I'm running 10.2.1, when I upgrade or whatever happens I will lose all my apps. Is there any way I can see the list of apps i've "purchased" (whether they were paid or not)?
App purchases should be tied into your Blackberry id so should remain available regardless of OS updates....don't think a leak is any different....but please correct me if I'm wrong (anyone). I direct all my downloads to external memory so I'm hoping that enables easy transfer to additional devices.
I can't remember the last time I paid for a gift. The first "gift" out of the gate is a paid for Angry Birds variant? Really? Angry Birds has jumped the shark long ago although it's one of the only major game titles to make it to the BB10 platform, but we have to PAY for a GIFT????
Thanks BlackBerry. Thanks much.
Posted via CB10
Must be regional variations cuz each of my downloads haven't cost me a single cent. I trust that any charges applied will be corrected and refunded. Don't give up hope.
Angry Birds was Day 1 (December 1st) gift. It only lasts for 24 hours, that's why you were seeing a price on it already. The offer for Angry Birds had been and gone.
Awesome! Home alone 2 free early this day and now Shark Dash available. Two freebies in one day...this is definitely going to be a great promo! Thank you BlackBerry!
I missed my chance for home alone 2 :-( I had to go to work this morning and was hoping that it would still be there when I got back home..
It's completely free here in Nigeria. We got shark dash
Posted via CB10
Got Angry Birds and Shark Dash down in South Africa :)
Posted via CB10
umm... Angry Birds is ok, I already bought that... but Home Alone 2?
Top Gear season 17 episode 1 for the UK
Shark Dash for the second day! Ph.
Posted via CB10
nothing here again in Portugal..... the angry birds is now .89€... which I suppose is some 'improvement'
The price was .89€ yesterday too...
Posted via CB10
Nice... so we have to pay, cos we are from Portugal?
I don't know... Maybe the promotion isn't available in Portugal...
Posted via CB10
great...
What about Playbook?
Nothing free on PB but some significant discounts to 99 cents. Regional differences again but some interesting titles...zero dark thirty, world war z, iron man 3. Worth looking through the titles.
Day 2--the movie 'Jingle All The Way'.
Posted via CB10
Home Alone 2 here in British Columbia, Canada. Regional differences ??
interesting! it would appear that way... and it looks like they're also doing the times relative to location.. as others are saying Angry Birds is not free anymore but for me it still is (just past midnight where I am)
I see Home Alone 2 as well (in the "25 free gifts of December" section), but if I go to get it, it says it's $17.99 (I thought maybe it would adjust on the invoice so clicked on it), but still asks me to confirm as a $20-something purchase (I did not confirm/buy it)
Angry birds seasons, nice first free app!
Posted via CB10
In Canada, goto bbworld,goto search,type in angry birds,search. Will be in the list for free
Posted via CB10
This worked.
That is going to get very frustrating very quickly..
So how is the Angry Birds Seasons game free? It shows as the free download but there is clearly a charge for it when I move forward to download. Anyone???
Sigh. Apparently free is free.99
Posted via CB10
Same here, I tapped to see the gift and it wants me to pay for it (granted $1 is not expensive for Angry Birds seasons). Not really a gift if you have to pay... seems like something Apple would do... except their users would love it.

Shark dash for free enjoy it
Posted via CB10
Why is it charging me for it?
Posted via CB10
Yeah, Angry Birds Seasons is "free" for 99 cents...I'm in Toronto. Is this promo U.S. only?
Posted via CB10
US here and it's 99 cents.
Posted via CB10
I am in Wisconsin?
Posted via CB10
So Ummmm I went to the free apps section and Angry Birds was the only option on the menu but I was charged for the app?
Posted via CB10
So angry birds is showing up for me on the 25 days of free apps page but it wants to charge me 0.99 anyone else having this issue?
Posted via CB10
It's over. New free app is Shark Dash.
Not only is Angry Birds not free for me here in Canada on Rogers, but Shark Dash is also not free...
This is annoying! Why can I not get in on this deal, BB!?
It differs per region. I believe Canada got a movie download
Yuuup.. Got it .. Thx ... 1 down ... 24 to go :)
So angrybirds Seasons is the first game... What a pity that if you activate it on a Q10 it is not unlocked on the PlayBook. This works with sooo many apps. But then, it's free so I won't complain.
-pac
I hope for Viber, Line and tango apps for this month

Just downloaded Angry Birds on Z10 here in UK, goes with Angry Birds Space free on Z10 launch day,
A great Christmas season idea from Blackberry, looking forward to next 24 days, thanks Blackberry.
Anyone here in Saudi Arabia downloaded this free apps? I guess this will not implement here because this implies Christmas. Other countries does have too?
Posted via CB10
Downloaded Angry Birds. Thanks BlackBerry.

I bought a movie yesterday on my Z10(Black Friday deal), but I'm having trouble transferring to my PlayBook and laptop (Lenovo, windows 8). There's no help from the BlackBerry site. It's not showing up on my PlayBook as a download and i'd I try to copy the file over, it say I don't have the rights. On the laptop, it says it's unable to read the file (even though it appears to have a .wmv). How do I download before my time is up?
Posted via CB10
When you download the movie, it's locked to your device. You can download it again on another BlackBerry 10 device but you can't play it on your laptop, because the rights are tied to the download device. In a perfect world, you could download it on your PlayBook, but the PlayBook gets movies from a separate app rather than using BlackBerry World so it's not transferable. You'll have to buy it separately on the PlayBook. If it's one that's on sale for 99 cents, it shouldn't be a big deal.
After i updated to 424 i can't open BlackBerry World , every time i try to open it says( there was a connection problem BlackBerry World must close)
If I download this premium app for free now on my Z10 and after 2-3 weeks i shift to a Z30 will I be able to download these apps for free again, the ones which I already downloaded?, cuz I don't want to back up and restore on my Z30 and ruin it!
Posted via My Black BlackBerry Zed-10
Yes, as long as you use the same BBID
Will the apps work lol

How about south Africa?
Posted via CB10
Incredibly n00b question, but suppose I wiped my Z10 after picking all of these (normally) paid apps and wished to install them again. Will I be able to free once again because it is linked to my BBID, or would I have to pay the 2nd go around?
Nonetheless, awesome deal, BlackBerry! This reminds me of the last $25 fall apps deal, and I was very impressed with the selection!
It's linked to your BBID, so you won't have to pay twice.
THANK YOU BlackBerry & CrackBerry! I feel appreciated, and that is very nice.
Posted via CB10 with *Z* BEST!
Made a note of it in my z10 s calendar
Posted via CB10
Awesome. Thank you BlackBerry :)

I bought the Seidio with kickstand Z10 case, total from Crackberry including taxes and shipping was less than Amazon base list by a couple of bucks
Posted via CB10
Yes yes yes YES! So excited. Did I pull the trigger too early buying apps and movies from the BlackBerry Thanksgiving Sale through?

I love this type of advent calender. Much better than chocolates every day.

Let's fill up with BlackBerry 10 apps !!!
BlackBerry your well on your way to becoming my second love... keep it up
Posted via CB10
just BB10! urgh!
I've bought alot on my Z30.....but I'll drop a few freebies on mine and my wifes Q10
Thanks Blackberry !!
Just got back from Black Friday shopping,now free stuff,made my day.Thanks DJ.
Yes!!!
Posted via CB10
Awesome! What would be even sweeter, is they offer apps for the PlayBook. I know, it's a stretch.
Posted via CB10
I agree, would be nice to see something for the playbook owners
I couldn't agree more, I have both (Z10 and PlayBook) and it would get me to power it on again. Not that I didn't like it, I love it, but it's just that I want to watch movies on my Retina MacBook Pro. If Blackberry releases a second high res Playbook, I will get it again. #IloveBlackberry (and their products XD).
Came here to post the same.
But more than that, I'm surprised that nobody has yet asked why BB isn't offering the same gift to those on non-BB10 BlackBerries which are running still-supported OSes (as opposed to the "no more significant updates" status of the PB OS)? Not that I don't understand that BB might want to run a promo which pushes apps for its current-and-future platform; I'm just surprised that no Bold owners have asked "What about me?" yet.
And let the Merry Season begin. :) Way to Go BB!!
Posted via CB10
Too bad games can't be downloaded to SD card. Can movies be downloaded to SD card? Kind of useless freebies for 16GB phone memory. Any suggestions, aride from deleting and moving media from phone to SD?
Posted via CB10
"Can movies be downloaded to SD card?"
Yes..
I bought Skyfall and Star Trek into Darkness and there both on my 64GB SD card.

Promotions like this give me faith that BB really does value its loyal customers, and may actually bring some more into the fold - provided that the word gets out.

And once again, an offhand attempt at what was no doubt intended by the poster to be a "harmless joke" (And to be clear: I'm certain that jojo meant no offense.) ends up being an off-topic entry in the growing pile of evidence built by Westerners that makes the rest of us look like stereotyping bigots by association.
Dude dont generalize people from this country. I am a Filipino and i am proud to say that here in middle east is safer than in our own country. Believe me.

how? tried adding on my playbook didn't work?
Free apps?! Why yes I would like 25 of them.
I actually like these free apps. They choose well and every single time it happens I seem to get an app that I didn't know I needed.
I completely agree... bring it on BlackBerry!
Posted via CB10
+1. There is usually one of that I don't like but they choose very wisely and it's stuff most people need or want!
Can't wait to see
