- So let's see if we can get this excellent topic back on track. I too love the feature rich environment of BBMe! I only have 5 contacts and was contemplating sending out a mass invitation to my contacts and see what happens. I do have 3 pet peeves though. 1) I wish we could use BBMe on multiple devices at the same time. 2) Why does the conversion not start from where we left off when we exit and re-enter the app? 3) Video conferencing within a group would be a very useful function. I believe that for less than a Starbucks Coffee this is the best messaging service available. Hopefully we can also help spread the word within our contacts and perhaps bring it back to an approximation of its former glory.

And yes, there still is a lot of room for improvement!!!
My favourite features are 'timed messages' and 'priority messages (ex-ping). EVEN for group chats. NO OTHER messaging app has those Features!
BBMe is 10/10!!!Sigewif likes this.01-12-20 04:06 PMLike 1 - It's a shame that some must play "Devils Advocate" and some feel they posses the Devine right to judge what is too enthusiastic a statement. All in the name of driving traffic! A shame really as this discussion was relevant, informative and engaging! It is not that any longer.
I’ll play devil's advocate because that’s something I enjoy sometimes. What’s seriously useful in a one sided conversation of anything?
I’m a member in several BBMe groups including a couple where I see the one sided enthusiasm and they’re now dead. When everyone has the same opinion and supports the same opinions, it’s like having a conversation with yourself...
Besides, if your points are valid, there’s a great way to explain your point of view. Regardless, how does title of thread reflect success or positive when the competition has 100X magnitude of downloads. Competition is simply competition.
If anyone is concerned about violations, hit the report button and the mods can remove all inappropriate posts. Then everyone can return and complain about missing posts. That’s my personal favorite when complaining about the rules that all of us should be familiar with and know to follow.01-12-20 04:07 PMLike 0 - Well I learnt something new today. My K2 and now my Android tablet both have BBMe running! The rest of the clan are on iOS. Shame I can't get my Passport BBM10 to communicate with BBMe groups.01-12-20 04:28 PMLike 0

Crusader03. Yes, BBMe is really feature rich, secure, and like you said, for this tiny price BEST messaging app out there.

BBMe is 10/10!!!01-12-20 07:40 PMLike 0 - Playing devil's advocate maybe explains why what you write often seems to be built upon a Pacific Coast sandbar in the Northwest US coast. That is not a good place to build (a discussion) or even to stand for very long because the tide moves the sand and constantly changes the makeup of the beach.
When I got first mobile phone in 1990, Nokia something, mobile phone was truly status. People were actually fastening antennas on their car windows and fake plastic hardware for image. Actual real adults in 20s-30s who looked ridiculous.
Ten years later and the Nextel chirps and different WAP hardware or Palms and BlackBerry email and PDAs were status. Then came the phones. BlackBerry was a great era but for many it was a device that made them look and feel important.
Now, a smartphone is something my kids have carried since 4th grade or so. What’s really amazing is the lengths many go to rationalize something and it’s supposed caused failures. I’ve read so many posts of angst or even anxiety regarding the various BB hardware and software. I’m amazed that civilization is still functioning with the ridiculous comments about security and privacy.
The nice thing is that I’ve toned down since Carjackd and I became friends here. I’ll never be Carjackd, never even close, but I can only imagine his biting sarcasm and replies today. RIP my friend...Laura Knotek likes this.01-12-20 07:50 PMLike 1 -

- Folks that really love BBMe.... need to experience all the other messaging solutions that are out there. And then with some sense of experience, they could point out how BBMe is actually better (if it is something more than just different). What makes it worth giving up a cup of coffee...
My guess.... BlackBerry has no plans for the continuation of BBM. In fact I'm not sure they haven't already ended all the Android and iOS app development - they clearly have scaled way back on app development, and it's not like they splitting time working on Android OS development. Time will tell...01-13-20 09:14 AMLike 4 - There are good features that BBMe has that are not in the messaging systems I use.
But then there are also advantages to other other ones I use. I would not say any of them are 10/10. And none of these messaging platforms are a clear best for me. And I tried the iOS version of BBMe again this morning and it is still not very good.
If you guys use the Tidal and Qobuz apps for music , you can see what I’m talking about. Qobuz understands how iOS works and their apps is much smoother in the background and most importantly uses a fraction of the battery/energy that Tidal uses. It’s the same sort of issue with BBMe. I haven’t seen the source code but I’ve been around apps long enough to see that the fundamental architecture of the BBMe iOS app is not right. The behavior of notifications and read receipts when the app is in the background are not consistent or correct IMO.Mecca EL likes this.01-13-20 10:37 AMLike 1 - i use BBMe since beginning and I am very satisfied. I have it on Android and on my PC. Timed messages, priority messages and the possibility to take back a message and encrypted voice and video messages are welcome as the possibility for sharing documents and sharing desktop. The userbase is rising and for my needs it is the best.

I do think that at one point they had more plans for iOS development - back before HUB+ when there were three large suites announced for crossplatfrom usage.... iOS was mentioned. But things change, and they had to focus on what they could afford to do, not on what they wanted to do.01-13-20 11:38 AMLike 0 - There are good features that BBMe has that are not in the messaging systems I use.

- LMAOOO!!!!! good point.
Speaking for myself, I can't anyone in the U.S. to use it. iMessage, Text and What'sApp are what ppl in the States use. I refuse to use What'sApp as I do not want Facebook junk on my IOS device. In the U.S., BBM and BB are dead.
Might be a good idea to agree to disagree here. I literally wait for these types of posts. Very entertaining.01-13-20 01:59 PMLike 0 - i use BBMe since beginning and I am very satisfied.

You can be negaitve about it all yo want, but as you see, more and more people realize truth, and truth is that bbme is very good product.
For sure better than unsecure 3rd party apps like Viber where you MUST give your most sensitive private info like phone number / carrier name / home adress...just to register...
