In the present day, using this app, you can listen to over 50,000 radio stations from across the world, including your local FM/AM stations and programs and podcasts. Blackberry TuneIn Radio application can be downloaded free of cost from Blackberry App World.

The Application Features

Downloading and installing TuneIn Radio Blackberry app is a pretty straightforward process. Once you set it all up, you’ll be taken to the home screen, which is quite well laid out and easy to navigate around.

You can search the stations you wish to listen to from the search box at the top (for example, search for Los Angles, pin code). Alternatively, you can rely on Blackberry’s GPS to find the stations near your locale even though it is found to be not so reliable an option few times. Under the ‘Local Radio’ option, you could find the local radio stations. On the other hand, if you are away from your ‘home’ stations at any given moment, you can use the ‘search by location’ feature wherein you narrow your search down from continent, country, state etc. before arriving at the radio station of your choice.

Further, you can narrow down a search based on music genre, talk radio, sports, and even by “Podcasts.” In TuneIn Radio, it is even possible to screen radio stations based on language. Regarding performance of TuneIn Radio app for Blackberry, there is nothing to be alarmed about. The sound quality is pretty good provided you remain in cell range.

Conclusion

Radio buffs will certainly love TuneIn Radio. Not only it provides multiple options and access to tons of internet radio stations from across the globe, but also offers a good listening experience all the time. True, the app drains your battery quickly; but then who uses their Blackberry’s as a substitute for their music devices. It should not hurt occasional listeners. And finally, the TuneIn Radio app for Blackberry is free. Isn’t it just the right combination you expect from a radio application?

MiniPaint is an imaging editing app for Blackberry. Similar to Windows Paint, the app is suitable to make non-professional image editing that does not require any high end image editing software. Using the app, you can crop/resize photos, add filters, or add text/clipart to the images. Blackberry MiniPaint app comes at a price tag of $1.99, and it is compatible with OS 4.5 or higher (OS 4.7 or higher for touch screen BB).

The Application

MiniPaint Blackberry app comes as a handy photo editing tool for your smartphone. In order to open a photo/image in MiniPaint, simply select an image from the photo gallery, press the Blackberry button and choose ‘open with MiniPaint’. The image opens in the MiniPaint window, and like in Windows Paint, you can edit, crop, rotate, or add effects to the image before saving it or sharing it via SNS such as Twitter (Facebook is not supported by the app at the moment). Since the MiniPaint application presents a copy of the image to you for editing, the originals saved in your Blackberry folder won’t get damaged anytime unless you save the edited file back to the same location, with the same file name.

Navigating through the MiniPaint application interface is a breeze. As you move the mouse over every button, a hover-over text shows the function/name of the said button. Further, every bit of photo editing done by you must be confirmed by ‘Apply’ before the change made ultimately takes effect. So if you did not like any particular effect that you’ve tried, you can just go back and try it again differently.

Further, when you try out filters, the app divides the image into half so that you can see how the image would look like with the filter applied. Keep in mind that applying filters to bigger images will take time as it will take time to load. Hence the app recommends smaller images for optimal results.

Finally, MiniPaint is compatible with PNJ and JPG files.

Final Thoughts

MiniPaint app for Blackberry comes with all bells and whistles that you might need to touch up a photo in your Blackberry before sharing it with others. The app provides reasonable performance with smaller file sizes, even though it lags a bit while attempting to edit bigger sized photos. Lack of support for Facebook is a big drawback of note. Otherwise, there are not many photo edit apps in BB that comes with as much features as MiniPaint does. Verdict: If you love touching up your images you took with your Blackberry before sharing it/saving it, MiniPaint app is the one for you.
