About downloading apps

You can download different types of apps such as applications, games, and themes for your BlackBerry device using BlackBerry World.

BlackBerry World is designed to prioritize available network connections and, if both types of networks are available, automatically chooses an authenticated Wi-Fi network over a wireless network for downloading apps. Downloading apps over the wireless network can affect your wireless data usage. Check with your wireless service provider to determine the additional costs that might be associated with downloading and using BlackBerry World.

You can find and open your downloaded apps on the My World screen. You can also find downloaded apps on the home screen of your device, or in one of the following folders on the home screen of your device: Downloads, Games, Applications, or Instant Messaging.
