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 had to upgrade BB App world to get this, downloaded Drivesafely despite not driving, I quite like it.

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.

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.
