BlackBerry App World 3.0 hits Beta Zone

If you are a member of the BlackBerry Beta Zone then good news. Team App World has been working hard on improving your BlackBerry app experience. BlackBerry App World 3.0 is now available in BlackBerry Beta Zone for BlackBerry smartphone users.

This new version has a totally new look to it, one that is overdue if you ask me. The home screen gets a brand new design with a dedicated search bar at the top of the screen so finding a particular app is only seconds away.

There is a new top-level channels in BlackBerry App World. Games and BlackBerry Themes are our two most popular categories, so they have been promoted to the Home Screen. Within these new channels, you’ll find another carousel of Spotlight Banners for featured apps, sub categories, and top 25 lists (“Free”, “Paid”, “Recently Updated”, and “New”).

The featured carousel has always been the first place to look for awesome new apps, – and it has been expanded in BlackBerry App World 3.0 to make it easier to find what’s new and what’s hot from the great universe of BlackBerry developers. Each month, you’ll see a fresh list of the best in BlackBerry apps, games and themes.

You can now quickly swipe between app summaries, screenshots, and reviews – all in one screen. Found an app you like and want to share it with the rest of #TeamBlackBerry? Instantly send to your Twitter timeline, Facebook wall, email, SMS, or to a BBMT Contact or Group.

Want to get your hands on BlackBerry App World 3.0? Head over to BlackBerry Beta Zone and sign up today (please note that you must reside in one of the BlackBerry Beta Zone supported countries where BlackBerry App World is supported in order to participate in the latest beta release)!
