ApnaCircle's Blackberry App

In its continuous effort to make professional networking easy for its users, ApnaCircle.com; India's first Business and Career Networking portal, released its Blackberry app some time back. This is supposed to be their 2nd smartphone app after the iPhone app that was launched some 15 months back.
The app which may download the app from the Blackberry AppStore will help you in tasks like:

  • Develop your contacts and add contacts quickly
  • Keep in constant touch with your network
  • View other professional' profiles
  •  Keep up to date with and share all latest news
With more and more professionals now preferring to be connected while on the move, this app will be to an advantage to the portal. More so in this case as Blackberry is considered to be a high usage platform for quite a professionals. Apart from the other benefits already outlined above, since Blackberry OS (like other smartphones) offer multitasking as a user you can always put the app in the background and still be connected on the move and round the clock. With Blackberry you also get the benefits associated with their pushmail service. Pushmail allows the notifications to be real time so you may see all the messages and the contact requests as they come to you, like in the desktop version of the site.
With the official update already out since a month and  a half, we still don't know why the app page on the site itself doesn't offer users the link to download the app. We have subscribed to the update, let's see when it comes ;)



Our Views
Blackberry being a very robust and formidable player in the smartphone market (and specially since its very famous among the professionals group), we consider this a very smart and profitable move. But hey, didn't Google say they are aiming at an Android in every pocket!! So, where is the Android app ??

  1. Hello Crunchers.. Nice Post!
    Well the android app is WIP already, coming soon :-)

    The app page we know is missing the link, that is being looked at. For the BlackBerry users the app is downloadable by typing in 'd.apnacircle.com' in the web browser. The app is available at the BlackBerry app store at: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/75053/?lang=en

    Cheers,
    Happy Networking@ApnaCircle

  3. Gotocamera has a user friendly and FREE surveillance/video monitoring app for BlackBerry. One can use the service to watch over pets, children, elders, etc., when you're compelled to leave them alone at home or with a nanny. This service can also be used to monitor small businesses. The process of getting started is very simple. All you need to do is set up a GotoCamera Account (also free) to use this app. Just follow the simple instructions on the sign-up page and you're good to get started. The idea behind this app is to assist to make communities safer, and give home owners peace of mind when they’re capable of remotely monitoring their home and loved ones. Considering the fact that they're being used by people in over 180 countries, looks like GotoCamera is definitely doing something right :)
