App World reviews

If people do not like an app, rather than saying "it's sh*t," or "f**kin waste of .99" why not provide some critical feedback rather than showing everyone you have a tenuous grasp of the English language? If you do not know how to use an app, or have no use for it, it doesn't mean it's sh*t, simply that you shouldn't have bought it in the first place. I'm sick of reading these reviews on AppWorld. 

Still no solution to this... and we now have OS 2
For some idiotic reason, a review is final, even though the issues that a previous version had could have been resolved and the review should be changed.

  • Editable App World Reviews

    When reviewing a (PlayBook) App in the App World the comment and rating refers to the current version of the App. Would be nice if it was possible to update/edit a review after an update has been released because often the problems from the first review were solved and the rating goes up.
    The rating system should be like Android's (if that isn't already the case) where you can change your review at a later time. Currently I don't see the "Add review" (or an "Edit review") button when returning to an already rated App.

  • I keep getting the message You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. but I don't have an update available in app world. Now what?

    I keep getting the message You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. but I don't have an update available in app world. I did the update but it doesn't seem to be registering on my macbook pro. Now I can't open any of my documents as I keep getting this message. Now what???

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • How do I get rid of BB App World Notification?

    I just got my BB last night, so I'm very new to this, but I did the update on the BB App World, and there were some apps that I did not want (such as Yahoo Messenger) that it kept coming up that there was an update available for... so I uninstalled those apps... but the Black Berry App World notification keeps coming up saying that there are updates available for those apps. Do I HAVE to reinstall and update them, even if I don't want to ever use them? It's annoying that it shows up with my new messages all the time. 
    Sorry if these are stupid questions, only had the BB for less than a day!
    Update* I reinstalled the apps, and the notifications are still there... and I click on them, and updating isn't an option anymore... just Reviews, Recommend, & Screenshots... I can't get rid of it!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    From your post, I can't quite tell where this notification is coming up. If it's on your homescreen (at the top, where the VM, new message, etc. notifications show), then the resolution will be different. Check this image for what that notification will look like:
    If it is indeed that one, then you need to find, in your Messages, a message from AppWorld -- deal with it (read, delete, etc.) and the notification should go away. If you can't find the messages, then try a search:
    KB21879How to search for unread messages on the BlackBerry smartphone
    However, if the notification is within MyWorld itself, then the resolution might be different. It's actually quite odd for AppWorld to continue to notify for uninstalled apps...are they actually in the uninstalled section of MyWorld? In any event, try this clearing the AppWorld application cache:
    1. Open App World
    2. Go to My World
    3a. For keyboard-based BB's -- Hold down the ALT key and then press, in sequence R, then S, then T
    3b. For Storm/Pearl -- Hold the num-lock (!?123) button so it locks and then press, in sequence 3, then 4, then (
    4. If your BB locks after issuing the cache clear, perform a battery pull reboot
    5. Return to AppWorld. Log into MyWorld (if applicable) and try again.
    Hopefully it'll work for you! Good luck and let us know!

  • App World Inaccessible - Error Message "App World has been blocked"

    Dear All,
    I recently purchased a Sprint-branded Blackberry Curve 9350 (in excellent condition) off of Amazon, and all of the phone is entirely functional, except that every time I try to access the Blackberry App World I receive a pop-up message reading "App World has been blocked".
    Initially, when I switched my pre-existing Sprint line to my new Curve, the phone was entirely wiped and reset.  I began using the various functions and only a few days later realized that I cannot access App World.  I spoke to several Sprint representatives and over the course of a few days took the following steps, all without any success:
    De-installed and reinstalled App World
    Did a Batt-pull with the phone on, de-installed and reinstalled App World, and did another Batt-pull
    Hooked connected the phone to my laptop and de-installed App World via Blackberry Desktop Manager
    As I purchased the phone over Amazon, I don't believe warranty protection applies.  However, it seem incongruous that all of the other applications and functionality of the phone work, with the sole exception of App World.
    Could someone please suggest steps to remedy the problem and make App World accessible? 
    Also, could someone please advise whether I can bypass the App World app and install Blackberry apps onto the Curve directly via Blackberry Desktop Manager and, if so, what the steps to do that are?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Colby

    Hello,
    From that description, I suspect a latent IT Policy is on your BB that is blocking AW. Normally, the error message would say more than what you reported, and that would be more indicative...but this is my guess from what you provided.
    To cleanse it, you actually have several things you need to do...starting with checking to see if this is indeed the case:
    KB30076 How to check for an IT Policy on a BlackBerry smartphone
    Sadly, there also are also rare situations with "stealth" IT Policies that exist, but do not actually display as such via the above. Again, the complete error message may have provided a better hint about this issue.
    Nevertheless, I believe you need to conduct certain steps anyway, especially given your method of procurement. Refer:
    KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after buying a previously owned BlackBerry smartphone
    While it sounds as if someone did or had you do much of this, I think you need to review it to be sure. Further, none of those WIPE methods would actually have removed an IT Policy from the BB. Rather, you need to perform the ResetToFactory process, which I recommend you do instead of (or in addition to) the WIPE that the KB recommends:
    KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory settings using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    In addition, you need to be careful if you've already placed data onto the BB that you need to retain. You can backup/restore your device before/after these WIPEs, but you need to be careful when you restore...do not do a full restore, or you will simply put the offending IT Policy back on board. Rather, do a selective restore of only the databases you require, and being 100% sure to avoid any databases that have anything at all to do with IT Policy:
    KB03974 BlackBerry smartphone database list
    Lastly...given this situation, it is entirely possible that there are further challenges with this specific BB. For example, if the BIS account is locked due to the BB being previously reported as lost or stolen, there will be nothing you can do about that, and you will never be able to have full services. But Orange certainly should be able to tell you if this is the case.

    These methods exist:
    KB14473 How to install an application on a BlackBerry smartphone using the BlackBerry Desktop Software
    KB04670 Install a third-party application with the Application Loader
    KB28715 How to Install applications from BlackBerry App World using a computer system
    However, there is no way to know if the IT Policy will also block these methods.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • App world will not work

    ok so when I download app world it says blackberry app world is having trouble connecting to the network try again later. I have done software updates but nothing seems to help, does anyone have a clue what I might be able to do to fix this problem

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    A few possibilities.
    Please review the system requirements...ensure that you meet them all. Check with you carrier concerning their requirement for an appropriate service plan from them.
    Please ensure that you reside in a country that has the service:
    http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/1
    http://www.blackberry.com/app_includes/devicesoftware/appworld/appworld_availability_en.html
    Please ensure that you can otherwise use BB services -- PUSH email, web browsing, 3rd party internet use, etc.
    Let us know!

  • Would you want your App World Identity Linked Amongst friends on Playbook?

    Do you think you would want your friends to know what apps you downloaded, what reviews you wrote, and what games and high score you had for your playbook apps?
    The App World is rich with user comments/reviews. Video Chat on Playbook is linked to your unique ID. Yet, the two identities appear separate.
    I don't know about you, but I get bored after a while playing some of the games. The ones that are appealing are the games that let you share high score with "users out there."
    Do you think it would be appealing to have your voice chat profile linked to your app world activity? The two "worlds" are very separate from each other, and yes, they have their own distinctive function. I think RIM could build a user-world community in App World, if there was a demand for it.
    Of course, users could opt out of having their playbook friends know what apps they have.
    It was just a thought. It looks like developers get good feedback from user comments. Why not extend that community further?
    Chris --- http://www.twitter.com/chrispycrunch

    i think this is a great idea, and it appears to be easy to implement as well.
