As Apple will remind you, there is an app for nearly everything. If you look through the BBGeeks Store or App World you’ll find thousands of apps that can accomplish everything from making your BlackBerry glow to performing advanced calculations. This is mostly great, but like all good things it also comes with drawbacks. Your device has limited memory, so it can only store so many applications. Many of these apps cost money, and most people only have a limited amount of disposable income for software. The developers at VersatileMonkey know how you feel, and they’ve done something about it. Their new app, VersaTool, combines the functionality of multiple applications into one.
I use both convenience keys on my BlackBerry, and often find myself changing them depending on what I’m doing. VersaTool’s Really Convenient Keys allow me to assign a task to one click, two clicks, or a click and hold. It takes a few tries to get used to it, but after a day of having six tasks quickly accessible, it felt like a native function. And, if you find yourself not using the mute key much, or even the end key, you can assign actions to them, too.
I’m also a big fan of Just Take the Picture, which allows you to snap a picture while in any mode, even when the phone is locked. That could make life easier for this guy. It beats fumbling around to find your camera app.
You can check out the description for even more functions, like the unlimited number of alarms you can set. And the auto replier. And the pop-up menus.
You can get VersaTool for $4.99. It runs on BlackBerry models from OS 4.3 on up.
With a gracious hat tip to Bla1ze.
