The BBM app for the iPhone was reportedly crashing for number of users after iOS 7.0.3 was released. The BBM app wasn't the most popular in the first place and this is because those who didn't already have a BBM account had to wait in line while BlackBerry got their stuff sorted. Installing this app left a lot of people with nothing to do except for enter their email address and then wait. Things got worse once Apple updated iOS to 7.0.3 which partially broke BBM in the process. It is something that can be worked around but it has been a pain for a lot of people.
BlackBerry has now updated their BBM app and it apparently fixes the iOS 7.0.3 problem. Making the app actually work isn't the only thing that is part of the BBM update. They have also added contact categories, list sorting and filtering in BBM groups, performance improvements and of course they have fixed bugs.
While these updates are all great, we can't help but think that BBM is off to a bad start on iOS . This isn't being reflected in the App Store charts though, where BBM is currently sitting pretty in the number 1 spot after just a couple of days of being made available for download. The number of people actually able to use it though will no doubt be rather smaller than those that have downloaded it.
If you want to get you hands on the BBM app you can head over to the App store now and get it. Hopefully BlackBerry will keep working to improve its functionality and those who don't have accounts don't have to wait too long become it becomes a fully functioning app that they can actually use.
