Chase Bank Plans to Discontinue Legacy BlackBerry App on April 21st

A little more than a year after finally launching a BlackBerry app for BlackBerry 7 devices Chase has decided to discontinue it. They sent out an email to their users that they plan on removing support for it on April 21st. I am not sure what sparked the decision but I have already had the Android Chase banking app sideloaded on my BlackBerry Z10 for over an month now and it works like a charm. Either way Chase is recommending users just use the mobile website at www.chase.com that offers the same features minus the check depositing. Here is the email they sent out:
