Please make the navigation more uniform across the whole device especially the hub that is confusing

I think the gestures and swipes is the best part!

Confusing how?

Sometimes the swipe is unavailable. It would be nice if you could always swipe, but currently you have to use the back button. I usually try to swipe first, wasting time.

Personal update, this uniformity (or lack thereof) is really unfortunate. People who try my phone start to figure out "Peek" but can't use it in all apps. BlackBerry needs to get all their first party apps in cascaded ASAP. At least there's the back button, but it defeats some of the purpose of peek.

In which apps you can't peek? I have tried lot's of stuff and even in my few games I can peek into my hub.
I can however understand the frustration about the back gesture, which only works in some apps and even there not all the time.

There are some applications where the ability to peek interferes with the use of gestures in the application. In those cases peek can be disabled for the main part of the screen.

If there is a back button the peek gesture will work on it.

Peek only applies to hub,documents,BBM and a few other things .Rest of the time there's no peek its just a swipe back feature.Also it is dependant on how the dev implements it in apps not BB.You cant keep blaiming BB for everything.

Read my post again.


I said FIRST party apps. Some let you gesture to go back (flow), but some make you use the back button (air apps).

Eg "Settings" requires the back button, until the cascades version comes in 10.2. BlackBerry 10 has a learning curve with the gestures, there's no denying that. It's inconvenient and borderline confusing when you can't always use the same gestures in all apps. Which is why I usually won't show that particular gesture to the average person, as they try it and love it in Hub and file manager, etc. And then swipe endlessly in other apps.

Yes devs are responsible for building their apps, but BlackBerry is responsible for their first party apps, which should be uniform IMO. The OS core features.

Now when it comes to ios and android, a lot of apps have been switching to a gesture based ui. Maybe the OSes will follow the developers to a gesture ui as well.
