My O2 App

Will O2 produce a version of the MyO2App for Blackberry 10 series? If so, when? If not, why not?

Hi Vendace, and welcome to the community!

I brought up the same issue here about the lack of O2 apps available for a new device: http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Devices-Nokia-Blackberry/O2-Apps-on-BlackBerry-10/m-p/427858

I actually noticed last night that Vodafone already have their MyVodafone App available for the Z10...

In the meantime you could sideload the converted android version which is one of the few converted O2 apps to work.

The easiest way to do this is with the Chrome extension.(written originally for the Playbook but works equally well with the Z10 & I would think the Q10 too)

Other converted apps can be found at goodereader.com along with an apk to bar converter to convert apps you have the apk for.

Sort of off-topic:- Aldaweb, hows your battery life and phone performance after sideloading apps? Its something Ive tried not to do (to the point of avoiding Android ported apps) because of reports of poor battery life, etc. What Apps have you sideloaded?

My battery life is about the same as with no sideloaded apps, but then I don't tend to leave them running in the background.

I'm using the myO2 app and the British Gas app and had the kindle app before the official port, but also use a few ports that are in the BlackBerry World like KPD for keepass password database and GAuth.
