Reviews

Still Junk
innerdude

Even after updates, this app is basically useless. Now the app freezes after logging in (which continues to randomly disconnect) so its dead in the water. I grow tired of the back and forth between my company IT and Good pointing fingers at each other, when I clearly can prove a problem. To any CIO’s looking for a mobile solution...AVOID! Your employees will thank you.


Doesn’t work with IOS 13.3.1

This app will not work at all with IOS 13.3.1.


Notifications Now Interrmittent
Kitkatpatterson

I used to get notifications when I would get an IM, even if the app is running in the background, but now that happens intermittently. It’s been like this for a couple months. I assume a new update or something? I have an iPhone X. This app is pointless if I can get reliable notifications.


Should be called BlackBerry Doesn’tConnect
innerdude

Update: Ooooh, pretty dark mode now. Still doesn’t connect reliably. Been through the ringer with IT and BB. Fingers pointed back and forth. For the past few days now, it won’t connect at all. I’m convinced this is just a solution that looks great on paper for some CFO’s bonus, and that rode on the “prestige” of BlackBerry of old. It’s an app that is seldom needed, but in those rare occasions, it still has issues. So what’s the point?

Not compatible with iOS 13!

You can’t message anyone in iOS 13. You can simply see who’s online and change your status.


No more notifications
bye bye weather

What happened to notifications when I get an IM? Why even offer this if your IMs go into a black hole unless you have the application open all the time.


Can’t connect!!
Abn7700

I’m totally frustrated. The email portion works great but the connect is horrible. I haven’t been able to connect in 2 weeks now. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times still nothing. Even worse my online status was stuck in available-mobile and I didn’t even have the app installed at the time. What in the world is that!!! Please fix as my job requires travel and I need to connect when appropriate. Not good to be unreachable or appearing available when not!!!


Buggy
WorkingGuyCA

When the app works, it's ok. But it's not been very dependable for me. Sometimes the app logs me out when I close the app. Sometimes it wouldn't let me log in at all. Recently it said I was logged out, but I was still getting notifications and new messages.


Won’t Connect
StupidAppleCrap

It was great but for the last few weeks has only connected when it felt like it. It usually does not feel like it.
