It's pretty unheard of that we steer people away from downloading an application/game from BlackBerry World, but in this case I thought that it was well worth doing exactly that. Let me explain.....
Like many BlackBerry 10 users, one of my morning rituals is to jump into BlackBerry World and see what's new. And top of the 'New Arrivals' list was a game called Skyward. Although the screenshots that are shown look interesting, that wasn't the first thing I noticed. What I did see was the option to subscribe instead of a regular price to purchase. My first thoughts included a swear word! After reading in the text that the subscription would renew at the full rate of £0.75 / 7 days I threw in a few more swear words! As if that's not bad enough there's more......
Then it clicked - I recognized Skyward. So I immediately fired up the Snap store, followed by the Amazon Appstore and hey presto, Skyward is available to download to your BlackBerry 10 device and for free!!!
So the developer that has 'borrowed' Skyward and submitted it to BlackBerry World in the hope of making some money is doing nothing but trying to con us folk on team BlackBerry. Well, it's not working this time. Fingers crossed BlackBerry will read this post and take appropriate action.
Hit up Snap or Amazon from your BlackBerry to get the original and free version of Skyward.

Check out PAC-MAN 256 on BlackBerry 10
He's a lovable chap is Pac-Man. I'm old enough to remember when he was first around and many, many, many years later he's still giving us some gaming pleasure. Luckily we can now do this on BlackBerry 10 smartphones rather than a 100 kilo machine like in the 'good old days'. Anyway, that's enough about me. Pac-Man 256 comes to us from the same developer who created Crossy Road a...
Free from Amazon today
As the post title suggest, Amazon have offered Cut the Rope: Time Travel for free before. That was back in April this year, so if you missed the opportunity to download it then, you may want to take a look now? Although us BlackBerry 10 users can get our own fix of Cut the Rope in BlackBerry World, you won't find the Time Travel version there. For us it's Android or nothing and...
Chimpact - Free today from Amazon!
What better way than to start the working week than an awesome free game from Amazon. Chimpact is the Amazon Appstore's free app of the day today and if you've been 'Team BlackBerry' for a few years it will probably ring a bell. Cast your mind back to 2012 and the good old trusty BlackBerry PlayBook. That's when and where Chimpact first made an appearance on CrackBerry and if you...
Subway Surfers updates and heads to Venice
With over 100 million downloads on the Android platform, the popular dashing and dodging game Subway Surfers has been updated and that latest version is also available for us BlackBerry 10 users via the Snap store. I don't mind admitting that I didn't have the game on my BlackBerry Passport until today, but what I can say is that the Android version works absolutely perfectly and...
