Click on Blackberry App World. Then select the Apps icon. In Catergories the first icon is a present with a blue bow on it called *Thank You Gift*. Click on that.

So far the only one on there is Drive Safely. An app which reads your texts aloud while you're driving.

I downloaded it then couldn't get her to shut up when I was on the train. Nightmare, might delete it already...

Anyone know if they are releasing a new app each day or something?

It comes up as "Drive Safe.ly" on mine.

I hadn't realised it was only certain Apps they were giving away. Thought it was an X amount of credit applied to be used as you wish.

What a con. Spect they'll be shit apps, the ones that nobody buys anyway.

You can turn it off on it's main menu.

Quite enjoying Bubble Bash 2.

Anyone else not had anything since Thurs? I was hoping that they would release them altogether rather than spread out between now and Dec

So far the ones showing for me:

DriveSafe.Ly (PRO) - Great app! Love it
BubbleBash - Pile of useless steaming crap.
Shazam Encore - Great, unlimited free tagging, love it.

Some people are reporting that Bejewelled is up now, but I can't seem to find it.

If the apps are not showing, here is a link to the online BB Appworld. Just scan the QR code on your BB to download the app.
