When it comes to apps, why should Apple and Android users have all the fun?

When it comes to apps, why should Apple and Android users have all the fun?

BlackBerry users deserve some love, too. And thanks to a new BlackBerry operating system, they’re closer to enjoying what everyone else has taken for granted – access to some great apps.

With the release of BlackBerry 10.2.1, BlackBerry is making it easier to install Android apps, including AgExpert Mobile and FM PRO Mobile.

Sure, the previous operating system allowed BlackBerry users to attempt the installation of some Android apps, but it wasn’t easy. If you’re tech savvy, you could convert Android files in .BAR, and maybe those apps would work.

But with BlackBerry’s new operating system, users can install Android apps using the .APK files – an easier, albeit lengthy, method.

Ready to learn how? We’ve outlined a step-by-step document to help you.

Remember, based on our quality assurance tests, these apps should work properly on your BlackBerry smartphone. However, these Android apps weren’t designed to run on a BlackBerry. We can’t guarantee you’ll have a flawless experience using an Android app or that you won’t experience any app crashes. FCC Management Software can’t troubleshoot any issues for your BlackBerry smartphone.

Also, if you’re a Field Manager PRO 360 user, use the FM PRO Mobile app on an Android or iOS device. The GIS functionality doesn’t work properly on any BlackBerry devices and will make the app crash due to limitations with the access to mapping services on BlackBerry smartphones.
