I’ve been working with the beta team from Blaq and Jerome submitted the app updated which is now available on BlackBerry World! I love how far Blaq has come and this update is even more awesome, allowing you to do more for less. This update is what you’ve been waiting for aside of the Hub integration we’ve been waiting for and still waiting. I just don’t love Blaq because it’s a perfect Twitter app, but also customer service. Jerome Carty, the developer behind Blaq, is great at addressing issues and completely devoted to his work. If you just got BlackBerry 10 and like to tweet, be sure and grab Blaq because you’re going to love it!
Thanks to Jerome, who sent us the changelog once he submitted it, and I apologize for not getting this out sooner.
Changelog is as follows:
New:
- Account settings are now accessible from the accounts screen. Just hold down on an account.
- Ability to toggle. Hold place in timeline in Account Settings.

- Instant push – when another Blaq user mentions you or you mention them, pushes are instant.
- Performance tweaks
