One of my most used apps on my Z10 has to be Apollo. Ronen mentioned it a few months ago when it was released on the PlayBook. It brings Pandora in to its own app with a great interface. Now some could say that I could just use the browser and go to Pandora.com. But I prefer apps when available. The other great thing is that this was a port from WebOS showing us just how easy it is to get apps in to the new BlackBerry 10 environment.
Here are a full list of its features
- Creation of new Pandora accounts
- Sign in with existing Pandora accounts
- Creation/Deletion of stations
- Bookmark management (bookmark current/recent song/artist, view/delete bookmarks)
- Like/Dislike of songs
- Skip current song (6 skips/hr/station)
- Viewing of recent tracks for each station
- Create station from current song/artist, recent song/artist, bookmark song/artist
- Put song to sleep for one month
- Links to browse music on Amazon.com
- Sorting of stations by name or date of creation
- Viewing of current song artist biography
- Explanation of why current song is playing
- Settings: audio quality, selectable backgrounds, application timeout, toggle auto-play station on app startup, statistics

Does it work better on Z10 than the Playbook? I find it kind of buggy on the playbook.

Wonder why Blackberry didn’t just get Pandora as an Android port.

Ronen, I don’t remember you mentioning the native BB10 music player in you otherwise very thorough review of BB10. Does it have a carousel view of your songs like the BB7 does? Is there a way you play and pause the music player, even when it’s minimized into an active frame?
