What apps are you all using in 2020 on BlackBerry 10?
- A few weeks ago just purchased a beat up z30 running 10.3.3 on eBay for next to nothing to have a play with and as a previous android user I am loving it!
The os just flows and the sound on the z30 rivals modern phones.
However the native browser is almost unusable for many sites now. Have been trying various others opera, opera mini, chromium old build 69 modern kiwi but none have met my needs or have had to many issues..
However the latest firefox beta 68.3b5 runs better than the current one and most others I've tried and does actually close when you press quit. What are you all using?
For apps I have downloaded f-droid and can use android apps when the native on bbworld don't work.
The apps I have chosen are Reddit in motion as Reddit client, Rss Savvy and feeder as newsreader. New pipe legacy for YouTube. bpod and sound waves for podcasts and rad.io for Internet radio. These all perform well. Would love to hear what others are using to keep what is now a legacy os working in 2019 and comments as to why you still use it in preference to ios or Android. That's all for now!

If you need to use a number of apps however, the use of those "superior" basic features comes at an increasing cost.Last edited by conite; 11-26-19 at 03:03 PM.

1. I receive emails instantly through hub
2. BB stock apps like phone, messages, music, photos, video, reminder, docs to go, bbm, calender, contacts, calculator, file manager and assistant are heart and soul of the device.
3. Device connections is the best feature ever using which I can connect to my laptop and exchange data as and when required. This is perfectly integrated with file manager.
4. Using blend and link, I can take full back up on my laptop and I never bother about safety of my data
5. Spotify (old version of android) still works flawlessly. I spend hours of time everyday.
6. Whatsapp latest apk works flawlessly and I get instant notifications
4. "A New Pipe" (You can get download link from Adapted android apps for bb10 thread) is superior youtube app, using which I can watch videos in background, download them into video and audio formats. It works very well like a native app.
5. BB10 browser is still good as most of the sites still load properly and browser is superfast. Fennec android browser works super smooth and it supports the sites which are not supported by the stock browser. I have downloaded this from same adapted android apps for bb10 thread and applied tweaks given there. This has breathed life to my bb10.
6. I use Fennec for below
- Ola and uber still works through Fennec browser . So I can book cab whenever I want without issues.
- Paytm web works well on Fennec browser.
- Swiggy and other food sites to order food
- Twitter (on stock browser twitter loads its legacy version)
- and other sites not supported by stock browser
7. BB10 streaming apps rad.io and bpod to listen radio and prodcasts . CB10 native app is the best!
8. Facebook and messenger lite apps works very well and you will get instant notifications. Chatting with friends using messenger lite app on bb10 is fun. Your friends who are chatting on their android and ios phones cant match your speed at all.
9. Google maps 9.21.0 android version works butter smooth for step by step navigation
10. I recently got to know about native "Shortcut creator" app. This is awesome app to create shortcuts using custom icons. For some reason, stock browser stopped created shortcuts with proper icons.
So, enjoy your BB10. You can do everything on BB10 that an android can do with a little effort.

This sounds like version compatibility issue12-05-19 01:56 PMLike 0 - 5. BB10 browser is still good as most of the sites still load properly and browser is superfast. Fennec android browser works super smooth and it supports the sites which are not supported by the stock browser. I have downloaded this from same adapted android apps for bb10 thread and applied tweaks given there. This has breathed life to my bb10.
But to characterize it as "superfast"? Hmmm.... the underlying hardware is a bit slow for what web sites throw at it nowadays. It takes the Z30 or Passport to even keep up with a mid-level newer phone nowadays.
The browser is still quite capable for me though. While travelling recently I had to resort to Google Maps, which was no problem through the browser. I also prefer to use the browser for Youtube as well.

- Steam is from their website. RAR is from there website, AtomicIRC is from fdroid (although it is just yaaic with a couple bug fixes I needed for work. That is in bbw) Chromium is linked from BEOS browser's thread.
Retroarch is a bar in one of the threads, plus a little extra work getting the needed files. And side loading it all.
Everything else is from bbw.

So I think I am going to avoid from using them and uninstall them. I do have an iPad 6th gen for that at home and an Galaxy GS6 that works flawlessly with apps. I use my Z30 for work so yeah I think it's best to keep things separate haha

Posted via CB1012-09-19 02:18 PMLike 0 - Thanks so much for these lists. I have forgotten about many of these and just went to get them.
Also I just wanted to throw out there that I am using MapQuest latest version from APK Mirror and it works great on my Passport and I'm sure it would display even better on a Z10 or Z30.
