Back in January we caught wind of a beta application called Peep It which allowed you to easily read messages without having them show as being read through BlackBerry Messenger. It appears as though the beta went well, some good feedback was received and the folks over at Epic Applications have released the application for your purchasing pleasure in App World.
The concept behind Peep It is quite simple, it allows you to read your BlackBerry Messenger messages without the status of the message changing from "D" to "R". Sure, this isn't useful to everyone, and some think it defeats the purpose of BBM as a whole, don't you ever find yourself wanting to read something and not respond right away?
Peep It is the quickest and easiest way to view your BBM chat histories on your phone. With one click access to view and delete your chats, Peep It makes managing your history easy.
A device running OS 5 or higher is required for the use of this application and reading and responding to your messages is a breeze. Simply launch the application and read your messages -- if you want to reply directly to a message you are reading you can press the menu key and then click launch BBM and it will open right into the conversation for you. If you would like to be able to read your messages without the other party knowing you have done so be sure to hit the link below and grab a copy for yourself today. The application will run you $2.99 but there is a free trial available as well, but that is a small price to pay to end the headaches of "why are you ignoring me" and any other upset comments.
