If you follow my blog, you might know that I am a Springpad fan.
Unfortunately, for now there is no Springpad app for BlackBerry 10, so I am left without my hundreds of useful notes.
Yes, BlackBerry 10 integrates natively with Evernote, automatically syncing with Evernote text notes, memos and voice notes, but I don't like Evernote.
Luckily, how I wrote in my previous post, you can manually install most Android apps.
This is how Springpad is working on BlackBerry 10:
Unfortunately, it has two limitations:
- For now "shares" are confined inside the Android subsystem. You can share pages and news to and from other Android apps, like Taptu, but you can't share to and from "native" apps. This limitation should be removed with BlackBerry 10.2, coming in a few months.
- Push notifications aren't supported:
Well... I can live without those functions, if I want to "share" I can manually do it with copy/paste, and I don't use notifications.
If you want to try it, download pre-converted Springpad below and load it on your device by following this guide:
Springpad 4.0.3
Springpad 4.0.4
Springpad 4.0.5 (it's erroneously recognized as a widget and it's not converted correctly)
