APP PERMISSIONS IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Here's why this app asks permission for certain things, in plain English:
First off, we're using the Android 6.x Marshmallow APIs, which means you you might be asked to allow the app to do something — say, access your SD card — while you're using the app. That's a good thing!
★Photos/Media/Files & Storage: These two permissions are used so you can upload images and the like to our forums. They're also used for downloading our podcast and from our wallpaper gallery.
★Wi-Fi connection: This helps us better serve our award-winning content to you. It's used for analytics and to make sure nothing's going to kill your connection or anything.
★Full network access/prevent device from sleeping/view network connections/set wallpaper: Gotta have network access to use the internet. Sleeping has to do with playback, and wallpaper is for setting your wallpaper in the wallpaper gallery.
Have a concern about a permission? Ask us! We're happy to help. Email apps@mobilenations.com.
FINALLY ...
Did you really read this far? Good for you. You rock. Thanks for downloading this app. And stay tuned for the next version, which will be even better than this one. Namaste.

Latest app update now includes ads, this was MY reason for using the app and not the website. Sticking to 3.1.3 on my other phone.

Really good app to keep up with Blackberry news. One issue I've found is the scrollable gallery at the top of the screen. Swiping directly to the left or right causes the page to reload instead of scroll. Instead you have to scroll diagonally i.e. bottom right to top left, bottom left to to right.

Like the app.. Just find that sometimes it likes to keep going when I close it and keep using up some battery through the day (android central too).. Although it's usually only 1% but it's enough to annoy

Got rid of the Thank option and can't read / reply to private messages or even see your likes. Much inferior to the BB10 app. Also lags and kills battery fast ...even drains batt when app closed. Must be running in background a bit.

Example...no more signature line. Signatures help identify what device, OS, etc is being used when questions are asked.

The perfect app for Blackberry fans "stranded" on Android. Bla1ze and company do a great job with the news and the forums are incredibly useful. Well done, guys...

Same taste, less filling. Feels slower than the BB10 app, but at least there's a way for BlackBerry enthusiasts/users using Android devices to participate in the BlackBerry community. If you've got a CrackBerry/Mobile Nations account, give it a try - or make one! #blackberrybychoice

Somehow this version lacks the full functionality found in BB10. No notifications, not as robust on handling forums.
