While pre-orders for Blackberry Priv are open, the Canadian brand has released its home apps on Google Play. Therefore, soon you will be able to replace your smartphone’s interface with that of Blackberry. And there are some really interesting applications. Small list.
Blackberry Starter
Installing the launcher seems essential if you want to feel like you are using the new Blackberry Priv. The Canadian company did not choose major interface transformations compared to pure Android.
Blackberry launcher offers several great widgets, different customizable icon packs, and a few other items to boost productivity. Nothing groundbreaking, but still fun. And noticeably light.
blackberry keyboard
Blackberry is the undisputed keyboard expert. Obviously, the physical keyboard has always been the icon of the brand, but in recent years there has also been a touch keyboard made on Blackberry. And we have to admit that the manufacturer has managed to transfer its know-how to this keyboard.
The Blackberry Keyboard app should therefore please more than one person. It’s very intuitive, plus it lets you type much faster thanks to a smart suggestion system. A simple swipe up “sends” the word. Wonderful.
BlackBerry Hub
This is undoubtedly the killer feature of Blackberry smartphones. Its center is a true productivity gem. Blackberry Hub actually allows all notifications to be grouped in a single interface. It is a kind of message collector.
From social networks, SMS, MMS, email, etc. Includes incoming notifications. We answer, sort, manage from the interface. Really intuitive and well thought out. For testing Blackberry Passport and Classic, this Hub was a real asset of the BB 10. It will be installed without hesitation.
Blackberry Blend
Another productivity tool, Blackberry Blend, essentially lets you use your smartphone from your PC or Mac. For those who know, Blackberry Blend is based on the same principle as Pushbullet.
You will be able to control your smartphone from your PC or Mac: send SMS, Mail, check your calendar. With Blend, anything is possible. Again, it was a really effective tool, having used it while testing Blackberry Passport and Classic.
blackberry camera
It may not be the best app for the next Blackberry Priv, but if you want to take advantage of the camera interface of the next Canadian smartphone, you can install Blackberry Camera.
This photo app is nothing revolutionary. It offers what many manufacturers already offer. It will be more suitable for fans of the brand who do not have their Blackberry yet, than Android goers.
BlackBerry Services
It will be very important to install Blackberry Services to be able to enjoy all previous applications. According to the brand, this app offers more security and productivity. This was the Blackberry CEO’s requirement before it was released on Android. So install it.
BlackBerry Password Keeper
This app is actually a password manager. Blackberry Password Keeper will keep all your passwords, IDs and logins safe. All information is encrypted using AES-256 and protected with a unique password of your choice. An excellent password manager and now unprovable know-how in terms of security.
Of all the apps Blackberry has to offer, we’ve selected the most likeable ones. In total, the brand offers 18 pieces. Do not try to install them for now, the manufacturer is waiting for the official release of Priv to allow installation. Rest assured we’ll let you know when you can start installations. So which app appeals to you the most?
