BlackBerry Cool

Find a way to allow blog comments to be posted from within the app it’s self rather then having to utilize the full article feature in order to comment

Nice app ladies. I’m enjoying this a lot. It did crash once, when I went to personalize. Apart from that it runs well!

…I’m using my fathers BB, if you’re wondering.

It’s exceptionally busy; find a way perhaps to streamline topics so it’s easier for a casual viewer like myself to find what I am looking for, I’d also say try some promotion; I didn’t know about BBC or the mobile site until recently but had a BB for a while.

@LouTreize,

Ya..when requesting new sections…did ya get error 500? I emailed the logs.

Looks good on my Pearl. I look forward to giving it a good using.

Hey guys! Great work on the app. Here’s what I’d like to see:

- Keyboard Shortcuts
- Ability to click on news or spotlight and it refreshes that section

Thanks and keep up the outstanding work!

Cheers!

Downloading content is sluggish and getting err. 500

Just got done downloading and checking out this app. And I love it. It loads qiucker than any other news feed app. Pics and all. I can’t add any new feed catagories in the personalization but that is only minor as long as I get all the important BB news and updates. Thank you everyone at Blackberry Cool. Finally a way to get BB info without using that slow browser. I am running the BB curve 8330 os 4.5 through alltel unlimited data plan. Thanks again. Victoria

Hey All, I’m having trouble getting it to run on my bold, any ideas?

I think it looks good. My only feedback is that a lot of the images render very small on my pearl. Either render larger or add a feature to enlarge images. Especially when you’re showing some new hardware or screenshots.

Also make it easier to add comments from the article summary.

Nice though. Easy transition for anyone who uses viigo.

Another nice app for me to use and abuse.

Refreshing sections would be great tho!

sorry. Also, more options a la viigo “render rich content” or any options that might make this more accessible for those poor souls who don’t have a good data plan.

Also, less is more! Like someone said before, 184kb is a big bite for those of us who are rocking the pearl (until sprint hopefully gets the 8900 anyway).
Sorry for the double commenting. You guys rock.

I agree with Bla1ze. The ability to post blog comments would be great.

@artie dude, I feel your pain! I’ve got the same phone on the same Carrier with the exact same average memory and the exact same leak problems. I had to delete vlingo to install the bbcool app. I am always juggling apps vs memory.

C’mon Sprint and get the new curve!

I would like to see the ability to add comments from the mobile app itself. Also, the images, specifically under software, is too small to see. Other than that I really like this.

1-make a slot in the homepage so you dont have to open a blog entry to post a comment
2- be Able to post forum comment and questions
3-Add “mobile only” exclusive entries (If you want to read them then you have to download the app)and then tease people by saying in the blog “New Mobile Exclusive Entry”

Cool app; but i was hoping to be able to find previous news/older entries. And leaving comments would be nice

great idea guys! When I go to personalize nothing happens and sometimes the personalize option isn’t even there…

I tried leaving some comments via my bold but they didn’t show….

Anyways, its a nice little app. Clean, quick to load after the initial start. I do like how everything is in categories/topics, though I think I’ll stick with viigo for a while. At least until I can comment and leave comments through the bbcool app.

This is great! Honestly, there aren’t many things I look forward to in my boring life except for blackberry cool articles. Naturally, I got extremely excited when I read about the release of this marvelous piece of software.

That said, I notice a couple things I’d like changed:

1. The default home screen has all sections expanded. That is too much for my small brain to handle all at once. So maybe consider letting the mindless consumer (like myself) determine the layout of the home screen.

2. If you really want to “kick it up a notch,” add a telepathy feature. This way blackberrycool.com can read my thoughts and send the appropriate feeds straight to my brain.

All kidding aside, I haven’t played around with it too much but it seems as if you stuck with what would be expected of a blackberrycool application: the ability to effectively deliver information. Sometimes the simplest things make the largest impacts.

Keep up the good work.

1. The initial load seems slow on a Storm over EV-DO.
2. The app does not support landscape on the Storm.
3. Would like the option how often to update the content.
4. Ability to choose what connection method, BIS, BES, MDS, or direct TCP/IP.

Missed it by THAT much! Maybe I’ll get lucky and get randomly picked. Anyway…the app is BEAUTIFUL on my Storm. I either missed it or it’s not there but will we be able to comment on the posts from the app at some point or maybe have a ‘share on *’ link? Great app!

Well I guess I’m too late to qualify as one of the first 10 comments ;(.

Anyway, first thing, you should add the “Downloads” folder to the list of folders the application may install to. That’s where it installed (as I expected) on my Bold.

First off, I couldn’t tell if the app was using my Wi-Fi connection. I appreciate when an application makes it obvious.

I love that you have the date in the title bar, but would love to see the time there too.

How often does it Auto Update? There’s only a Yes and No Option – I’d like to have control of how often, or if it’s a true “push” service, for it to be more apparent.

I tried “Personalize” both the link and from the Menu, but it didn’t do anything.

I realize this is YOUR baby, but I’d like the ability to add other feeds.

Also, the [Back] key exits the application. I’d like to be able to set it to move to the background when I hit [Back]. Although the font size is fine, I’d also like to be able to control at least the font size, if not be able to pick what font to use.

All in all, a very nice application. Very quick, easy to navigate, nice looking. Nice work!
