BlackBerry: 4 Apps to Avoid

BlackBerry has some applications that are plan useless

BlackBerry (BB) promises a variety of apps in its BlackBerry App World. Like Android and iOS, these apps can come with or without a price, and choosing and buying apps must be done with caution and planning. There are apps out there that are just plainly useless:

1. Girls Night Out Solitaire:

This is basically a game of solitaire, but what makes it different is the posh features. There are girly touches like martini glasses and high heels. The app also has FreeCell and Klondike with an additional Concentration clone. There is no use paying USD five for an app with ‘girlfriends’ who tell users what to do.

2. AutoTimeZone:

The AutoTimeZone app lets users choose the option of automatically changing the BB’s time anywhere they go. The app looks for your current location through GPS and sets the time accordingly. However, this function is common in BB phones. Once the phone connects itself in a given time zone, it automatically sets the time, even without the help of this app. There is no reason to pay USD 10 for it.

3. Massage Therapy for BlackBerry:

This app lets your unit vibrate on the area you wish to massage. It comes with degrees of intensity. Although with good intentions, are users willing to pay as much as USD three for this? The instruction is vague and the app is just bland. The 37 KB required storage for this app is probably its best feature.

4. Bright Smile:

This app helps you brush your teeth effectively. The app provides a stopwatch that lets users devote good time to brush. But would users pay USD five to only use the phone’s stopwatch? The sad things is you need to have 500 KB for an app that teaches you how to brush. — Agencies
