The graphics have the old school PacMan feel to them with new colors and levels. You control PacMan with your trackball. The levels for this game are challenging for a few reasons but the  reason you will notice right away is when you eat all of the pills more will appear on the extension of the level either to the left or the right. The pills will appear in different patterns instead of the traditional way that they do when they fill up the whole level.

Overall, this is a great PacMan game for the BlackBerry. At the time of this review the PacMan Championship BlackBerry App is available on Nanco’s website here: https://www.namcogames.com/mobile/pacman-championship-edition_8211.html. Thumbs Up.

Screenshots:

The graphics are very well done. As you play the game will tell you which controls on your BlackBerry do which actions. You control Lawrence Talbot/the Wolfman by using your trackball. You can also jump if you scroll up with the trackball as well as by pressing the #2 key. The rest of the controls are based on the keys and the game will let you know which ones you will need for each action as you play the game.

Overall, this is a great action/adventure game for the BlackBerry. At the time of this review the Wolfman BlackBerry App is not available for download yet but we will send out an update once it is. Thumbs Up.

How did you get into developing apps?

GrandeMocha, LLC:

We launched GrandeMocha last Februrary to bring our experience in mobile application development, business systems and entrepreneurship to business looking to extend into the mobile market. The mobile market is really exciting and changing rapidly. This makes for an amazing opportunity for companies looking to reach new audiences or looking to add value to their existing service or product offering. After successfully launching one of the hottest wine apps in the mobile space we formed GrandeMocha to offer mobile development and marketing services as well as business acumen in a comprehensive package.

BlackBerry App Reviews:

What was your inspiration for developing this app?

GrandeMocha, LLC:

Kids Meal Deals has a web site listing restaurants around the U.S. that provide kids-eat-free or similar deals. These days, saving money on dinner for the family is important and this resource helps make that easy. Making this a mobile app means that you can find the deals while you are out traveling and that you can find deals that are near you based on your BlackBerry device location (e.g. GPS).

BlackBerry App Reviews:

What do you think users will like the best about your app?

GrandeMocha, LLC:

When you are driving through town and the kids in the back seat are hungry, you don’t have time to try to figure out where to take them for dinner and often that can be expensive. With the mobile version of Kids Meal Deals you can look up deals near your current location and save money and time while feeding the whole family.

BlackBerry App Reviews:

Are there any hidden features to the app?

GrandeMocha, LLC:

Not per se. There are some advanced features; for example, you can add deals to your list of favorites and then manage the favorites lists (add and remove). The favorites are all kept on your device. Even if the deal expires the favorites will be retained (until you remove them) but the app will tell you when you pull up a favorite that’s no longer publishing a deal that the deal may have expired. I think that’s pretty cool.

BlackBerry App Reviews:

Do you have any future plans for this app?

GrandeMocha, LLC:

We will be releasing an update shortly to improve compatibility and use with the recently launched OS 5.0.

BlackBerry App Reviews:

Do you plan to develop any new apps? If so when can we expect to see them in App World?

GrandeMocha, LLC:

We are working with several partners on developing their mobile apps. We will probably have one or two new apps in the first quarter of 2010. While I can’t provide details, look for something in casual games and something in personal health.

Overall, it does what it says it does but the privacy issue and ad issue are something to consider when downloading and using this app. At the time of this review the UberTwitter BlackBerry App is free. I cannot recommend it because of the privacy issues. Needs some work.

TrueContext Corportion:

We’ve been in the business of mobilizing business processes since 2001. Our Pronto Forms app is a natural extension to that, making it easy for small and medium businesses to easily fill in forms, enter sales orders, or perform inspects and audits on a BlackBerry handheld. With Pronto Forms, our customers enjoy higher productivity and eliminate input errors or the collection of the wrong information.

BlackBerry App Reviews:

What was your inspiration for developing this app?

TrueContext Corportion:

We wanted something that would valuable to our customers but above all, simple to use. We know many of our customers don’t have much or any IT expertise in their organizations, so it had to be something that could be done be any employee of the company. With Pronto Forms, anyone can easily create their own mobile form to run on the BlackBerry and within minutes be collecting data from field staff and consolidating it in a single location.

BlackBerry App Reviews:

What do you think users will like the best about your app?

TrueContext Corportion:

Our customers love how quick it is to get started. You can literally create a form and send it out to your mobile workers in just a few minutes.

BlackBerry App Reviews:

Are there any hidden features to the app?

TrueContext Corportion:

On our product portal (http://live.prontoforms.com), users can see graphical views of the data they’ve collected, using the “Reports” tab. They can see which responses in their mobile forms are most popular, and immediately take action from the results they get from the field.

BlackBerry App Reviews:

Do you have any future plans for this app?

TrueContext Corportion:

We are always enhancing the app to add additional form controls and portal features to make it even more valuable for small and medium businesses.

Overall, this is a quick and easy solution to Tethering your BlackBerry. At the time of this review the Tether BlackBerry app is $49.99. Thumbs Up.

Screenshots:

The graphics are great and the developer has stayed true to the original controls. As you play the game you will be given tutorials. There are so many different things that you can do in this game which makes it really fun to play and a challenge to see how many challenges you can over come.

Overall, this is a great game for the BlackBerry with lots of replay value. There are so many elements to the game that it is well worth the price. At the time of this review the Sid Meier’s Pirates! BlackBerry App is $4.99. Thumbs Up.

Screenshots:

Overall, the keyboard works well. It comes with a nice case and the stand that holds your BlackBerry device fits right into the keyboard for easy storage. The ability to be able to control your BlackBerry right from the keyboard is also a plus. It’s also great for typing lengthy e-mails and even documents while you are away from your computer. At the time of this review the Freedom Pro Bluetooth Keyboard for BlackBerry is $119.95. Thumbs up.

How did you get into developing apps?

troii Software GmbH:

As a software company the main demand to our product “timr” is to simplify time tracking with mobility. Therefore it was clear for us to develop a native mobile client for BlackBerry to make our product outstanding. In our mind BlackBerry offers the best platform and devices for business usage.

BlackBerry App Reviews:

What was your inspiration for developing this app?

troii Software GmbH:

For many freelancers or self employees time tracking is the last thing to finish work either on a certain project or in general because it’s often a very disliked activity. The fact that lots of money is lost caused by inaccurate time tracking made us think about the lacking mobility to ensure a simultaneous tracking without any further synchronization. That means the time is always tracked parallel to the work, no matter if you are in the office or on the go. At the end of the day, all your time is already tracked, without having to invest one more minute to track any work before going home.

BlackBerry App Reviews:

What do you think users will like the best about your app?

troii Software GmbH:

It’s definitely the seamless integration of native mobile clients. Our users track their time wherever they are, without having to synchronize, download or email any “mobile” time sheets. A very useful service is for example to start time tracking at the office and to stop it with the mobile BlackBerry client – or the other way round. Everything is possible.

BlackBerry App Reviews:

Are there any hidden features to the app?

troii Software GmbH:

Our application has not really hidden but additional features like logbook tracking and the seperate capturing of both project- and working time, which enables “timr” users to track their time even more transparent.

BlackBerry App Reviews:

Do you have any future plans for this app?

troii Software GmbH:

There are a lot of ideas how we can improve the timr time tracking experience even more. The BlackBerry platform offers a lot of possibilities to deeply integrate the application into the system. For example, one of the upcoming feature will be the possibility to track phone calls. We are continuously improving timr and the timr BlackBerry client based on our own experiences and the feedback that we get from our users.

BlackBerry App Reviews:

Do you plan to develop any new apps? If so when can we expect to see them in App World?

troii Software GmbH:

We are thinking about that and do believe that apps in the App World are a perfect rounding for our software products with mobile approaches.
