Requirements and Features of BlackBerry App Manager

. Cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Linux).
. Nothing else but the browser is required. Java Runtime Environment? .NET framework? Come on, forget the hassles and save time.
. Where're the apps that I just installed? Great, there are links to them that saved in logs. One simple click and the app is located and highlighted.
. Way easier to search, copy text, or print, which is benefited from the browser. Main Features of BlackBerry App Manager.


1.) Save your password in the browser for auto login (or not if you choose not to). Some tricks are done to save half of usual login time.


2.) List all the apps installed. Query run status, launch, terminate, or uninstall any individual app.


3.) Install apps by a queue. Multiple apps may be added to the queue by choosing files in a dialog or a simple drag and drop. Apps may be removed from the queue and installation may be aborted. Installation status is displayed in two steps: file uploading (to the BlackBerry 10 / PlayBook device) with a progress bar and the actual installation with echoed messages.


4.) Auto retry for any incomplete installation or uninstallation.


5). Log and categorize all the results of installations. Locate each one of them by a simple click.
