The story of the unofficial application what3words for BlackBerry



Today, 3 word addresses exist for every place on the planet. We want to do everything so that the use of what3words addressing system is available to everyone, and developers from all over the world who integrate what3words into their applications or are inspired by our idea and create something new using the what3words API help us in this . Our list of partners is constantly growing, but we hardly appreciate the efforts of individual developers who make a product for themselves. Today we want to share one such example.

Oleg Derevenets, a developer from Russia, as he himself admitted, is a big fan of BlackBerry and its products. In the BlackBerry World app store, Oleg's programs are held in good places, and are popular in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe, the main markets for BlackBerry.

In early December of last year, Oleg signed up for the key to the API what3words, and just a week later, specialized websites and forums of BlackBerry smartphone fans told the whole world about the new unofficial 3Words client already available in the app store. We contacted Oleg, and asked him to share his impressions about our API and application download statistics.

The 3Words application replicates the capabilities of the what3words official mobile clients available for iOS and Android, and our team members are happy to use Oleg's application on their BlackBerry smartphones. This is the easiest way to find a location and its address. According to the developer, he was inspired by the idea of ​​our address system, and made an application for himself in order to comfortably use all its capabilities on his favorite smartphone.

However, for three months, Oleg's efforts have been appreciated by about 3500 BlackBerry owners, who put the application as many stars as possible and leave thanks in the app store. The developer admits that for a paid application (3Words sells for $ 0.99) is a very good indicator.

Oleg plans to support the application, and add new features as our API is updated, to which he gave a very high rating. According to him, working with the API did not cause him any serious difficulties, which can also be judged by the time spent on development. Oleg is ready to share his work with other developers, so he sent us a link to the SVN repository of the Words application. What application of our API could you find?
