BlackBerry App World has been updated to version 3.1. The Beta version was available in the BlackBerry Beta Zone earlier this month, now it’s available for all. This version includes new features as app gift request to your BBM contact, content rating and filtering, Wi-Fi only support and new language support.
Features of BlackBerry App World v3.1
- Request a Gift – BlackBerry users can send their BBM friends a request to buy them an app, theme, or game from the BlackBerry App World catalog.
- WiFi Only Support – BlackBerry App World has always worked over WiFi – but required a cellular connection to be present. With BlackBerry App World 3.1, no cellular connection is required!
- Content Rating and Filtering – BlackBerry users are now presented with a content rating to alert them to the content contained in an application. These ratings are based on the CTIA Wireless Association’s “Guidelines for App Content Classification and Ratings”. Parents will be able to set a rating filter in the BlackBerry App World client to restrict content of specified ratings from being displayed or purchased.
- New Language Support – BlackBerry App World is now available in additional languages including Dutch, Indonesian, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
You would be prompted to update to the latest version of the BlackBerry App World once you enter the App World on your device. You can also download it manually.
