- general trend as in, what i posted at #43(what level and price and rating the apps are at, just to not quote myself again)
I am not complaining, at nowhere in my original post did i even tried to complain. I stated what i wanted to say clearly, the apps simply need changes.
don't ask what apps i can't live without, I can well live without a phone or internet and have proved that, so this isn't anywhere close to a complain from what you've seen.
"I use a BB because even with its shortcomings" and I have not made a coment about the phone, I use a BB even with its shortcomigs too.Last edited by new_to_BB; 04-16-10 at 07:51 PM.

There is a free turn-by-turn navigation app by google and then you have to consider how long the droid OS has been out. And what is the best navigation app for blackberry.....its GoogleMaps!04-16-10 07:46 PMLike 0
- And again I tell you that rims appworld is only one of many many other places you can get apps for bb, its like saying that the grocery store closest to you has too limited of a selection.04-16-10 07:49 PMLike 0

- Interesting about the bandwith.
I thought the apps offered here on crackberry were the same apps offered on appworld. Is this wrong?04-16-10 07:56 PMLike 0 - Really??? You have analyzed all the places to buy/download bb apps?
I guess I am using the wrong platform. If BB apps options suck so bad, then what phone do you suggest I migrate to? I should probably get your opinion on carriers as well.
Not to mention that if you actually read the reviews on a lot of the apps, its just people complaining about something not working. A parallel to this is amazon.com you can go on their and rate a book even if you havent bought it from amazon, So you have a lot of low ratings for books thanks to trolls.Last edited by rdyoung; 04-16-10 at 08:00 PM.
04-16-10 07:57 PMLike 0 - see my edited post above regarding the reviews. You can't honestly provide an opinion on an app until you have actually used it. The reviews are meant to be a guiding post for those looking. I have downloaded many apps with 0 reviews, does this mean they weren't worth downloading?04-16-10 08:02 PMLike 0

If you wait a while and there are still 0 reviews I am assuming it is a crappy app.04-16-10 08:05 PMLike 0 -
Looking at the appstore now, the top rated apps only have 1 or reviews, so how can you use this as a method of determination for an opinion.Last edited by rdyoung; 04-16-10 at 08:12 PM.
04-16-10 08:09 PMLike 0 - You have to do that considering the amount of cash you have to drop on BB apps. There aren't too many good free apps.04-16-10 08:11 PMLike 0

Its like taco bell when they opened. They tried pricing the tacos dirt cheap but they werent selling because people equated cheap with poor quality, when they raised the price they sold more because people equate quality with price.
Just look at the sheer # of free and 99c apps on itunes, how many of those 99c apps would you actually use for more than a few minutes?04-16-10 08:15 PMLike 0 - I think this takes care of this argument.

This list of apps, most of which are awesome apps have a very high rating and lots of reviews. How does qualify as bb apps sucking?04-16-10 08:19 PMLike 0 - So how do droid programmers make a profit? Are they operating at a loss??
I guess maybe I am just not understanding the difference here.04-16-10 08:21 PMLike 0 - As an example, I searched for a good chess game on blackberry and there were only 2 to pick from...the cheapest being $3.99.
I searched for chess on the droid marketplace and found over 20 chess apps...some of them free and some not. All I want is a chess game which I can play against the AI.
So can you explain this difference to me?04-16-10 08:32 PMLike 0 - It's not really the apps that suck...They got some free apps that get the job done, but I only wonder, do those apps get rated 2-3 because their free which means less work was put into them compared to a paid app with 4-5 stars?
Now the free GAMES suck, I mean theres like what, 3? And they all suck except Connect 4 and even THAT'S just hitting "alright".04-16-10 08:34 PMLike 0 - As an example, I searched for a good chess game on blackberry and there were only 2 to pick from...the cheapest being $3.99.

I don't have an android phone, so I can't see the entire marketplace in all its glory.
A little smooth talk with google and I found this in less than a second.

If you REALLY want to play chess on your phone, why arent you willing to pay for it? When you buy it, you will be able to take it to another BB. Any .jad file will install, however it may or may not be operable depending what its programmed for. You could always grab a pack of bb apps and games off of isohunt.Last edited by rdyoung; 04-16-10 at 08:47 PM.
