Spotify and NatWest apps for BB10?

Hi,

Are these two apps available on BB10?

Actually native apps? If so, do they work well?

Can you use your Premium account on Spotify?

I'm considering going back to BB, but need clarification first!

NatWest is Android: https://appworld.blackberry.com/webs...countrycode=GB

Spotify, Android again

I used the Android version of the Spotify app on my Passport and it seemed ok.

I use Spotify on my Passport daily. Works fine. I use the Android version downloaded from the Amazon app store.

Lots and lots of apps on BB World are repackaged Android apps, and run on the Android Runtime (and would not run if the Runtime was removed). Just because you get it from BB World doesn't mean it's a native (BB10) app.

Oh well nevermind then, I don't take that much notice, it is an app on app world for the bank I bank with, it works on the phone I bought without having to use any work arounds so I assumed it was a Blackberry app. It calls it's self natwest for blackberry 10 so you can see why one could believe it's native.

I use Spotify all the time and it works great! Premium account, no problems with any functionality. Yes, it's an android app.

My only issue with some Android apps is battery drain or asking for useless permissions. Spotify runs as good as many native apps and doesn't seem to have any issues at all.

Can't say much about the other app you are asking about it. Sounds like, from the other users here, that it seems to work just fine. You're going to always get some people complaining that some apps are 'just an Android port' but I say forget about these complaints and just decide for yourself. There are some Android apps that work great and there are some native apps that suck. For the most part though, I can't say I really feel like I miss any apps that I don't or can't have.

I use Spotify on BB10, having downloaded it from the Amazon app store (it's not in BlackBerry world and is not natively supported for BlackBerry 10). It works just fine and is great to have, but some words of warning:

1. It's a lot laggier (like, a lot) than on an Android device. This could be because I use it on a BlackBerry Q5 though.

2. It drains the battery faster than on Android, which appears to be common with most Android apps on BlackBerry

I am using Spotify Premium on my Classic and it is laggy.

I use Spotify on my z30. Sometimes it needs to initialize a big when I first boot it when I haven't used it in a long time. But overall it runs pretty good.
