One really handy app here. Have you ever looked on BBM or Facebook and seen the weird fonts people can do? This app is how they do it!

On the free version there 3 different fonts that are all completely different.

Facebook Review

Facebook

BlackBerry App World ~~ FREE

If you haven't heard of Facebook by now, then I'm pretty sure you have been living under a rock! Facebook is huge. It's everywhere. Everyone has one. And it's also avaliable on BlackBerry! So is it worth downloading it? To be short, yes!

The app itself is very interactive and easy to use. Pictures load reasnoably quickly and are very clear.

One downside is the search utillity. If you search for someone you know, for some reason, it doesn't bring up people with mutual friends first in the list. This makes it almost impossible to find anyone using the app, you're better off doing it on the computer. 

Another problem is that if you are looking from either yours, or someone elses friend lists, you cannot easily find someone. If you want to find 'Paul Smith', it would make sense to be able to press 'p' and be brought to everyone whos name starts with p. This however, doesn't happen. You have to scroll all the way through the list. This can be tiring when some people have around 800 friends!

Hangman Review

Hangman

Ok, a well known app now. You have to have heard of the game Hangman, right? Well this is the app for it! Not only is it available on iPhone and Androids, it's also on BlackBerry!

The app itself is very well designed, though the adverts at the top of the page can be really annoying. A lot of the time I end up clicking on it accidentally, but then I guess this is how the developers make their money!

The game itself has a great selection of different categories as well. It has not only 'Movies' and 'Actors', it also has 'Kids' and 'Soccer' (football). No matter what interests you have, you're bound to find something on Hangman.

The answers aren't hard to work out either really, unless you choose a catergory you know nothing about ofcourse!

Another part of the app that is impressive is the BBM Multiplayer side of it. If you know someone you would like to play against you can easily select them, and then you race to get a certain amount of points. The only down side is that there isn't many catergories to choose from.

 

Kiss Kube Review

Another great app actually! You have probably heard of the radio station Kiss 100, right? Well know you can listen to Kiss on your BB on their new, updated app! It's also free!

I've had the app for about 3 months now, but to be honest it was never that great until a few weeks ago. They have now updated it all and the new layout is fresh and really up to date.

You can listen to your nearest station live, or they have all the shows from the 7 days on hold, avaliable at any time.

Advance OS and LED Review

Advance OS And LED

On BlackBerry App World - Free

This is an app that I love actually. It has lots of different options and other things you can do, but it is mostly popular because it can change the LED light colour for incoming notifications. So, if you want your boyfriend/girlfriend to be a disco colour, they can be! If you want Facebook notications to be yellow, they can be! 

The apps really handy for me as I can easily tell what's happening on my phone without checking constantly.
