Please please please get a mobile App for the BlackBerry10 devices (both Q10 and Z10!) I had a Torch for the past 6 months, and the App didn't work, as well, the website didn't play well with it... I've gained 20 lbs since then! LOL!!!

Benefit of the BB10's is that the Website still renders really well, but I do miss the convenience of an App....

Please! :) I live and breathe on my BlackBerry, and prior to having the Torch issues, I had lost 80 lbs!

I specifically got a Blackberry because it works with my Outlook and it is supported with a mobile app from Spark People. I got the newest BBZ10 and was wondering when Spark People will have an updated application for it. I am not apposed to a cost for the application. Now that BBZ10 is available in the U.S. I'm hoping the updated mobile app will be forthcoming soon. IS there anyone who knows what's happening?????

I have the new Blackberry Z10 and there isn't an app yet. I would pay for it as I loved the tracker in my hands when I am out. I hope they make one. The one on my tour was good. Was disappointed to get my new BB and find out there was no app.

I see there is no definitive response to this this thread.

I have a BlackBerry Bold and the Spark app just freezes up my phone and I have to re-start the phone. It would really be great if this app got upgraded. There are other fitness apps which work great but out of loyalty to Sparkpeople I wanted to use this one. Oh well..

Where did the free version go??? I had a faithful blackberry for two years and the app worked fine! It looked different from the version I had on my ipod touch but I liked them both. I just upgraded my phone to an android and now it suddenly costs $4. What's up with that? Did they add something radically different?? Or just charging me for something I had been using for years? ...im really bummed. Hard to justify buying it.

It works fine on my Blackberry Playbook, but it doesn't work on my Blackberry Phone as it's specifically not supported.

iphone has to pay for the apps too except the free recipes. I don't need recipes on my phone. I need the tracker. I didn't even notice it until just a while ago that my SP app was missing off my phone. If they expect me to pay for the trackers, they can keep it. there are plenty of free apps that do the same thing and have just as good as a food base.
Guess they will have to take the question out of the daily quiz about the cost of the SP apps.

I had the same problem with my blackberry, and it never did get fixed. When I traded phones and got an android it worked no problem. Now I have a new android and it says I have to pay for the app. It sucks.

I have been a SparkPeople member for years. And everytime I login to use the app i get an error screen that states "You have not finished the setup process. Please login into sparkpeople.com from a web browser to complete registration." Any suggestions as to what that is all about?

It's okay on the Bold, but definitely not as good as the full site by a long shot.
On the other hand, I was thinking I sit in front of my computer too much as it is, I don't need to do the same when I leave the house..

I just got a new Torch. Using the mobile website is a huge upgrade from on my ancient Curve. However, it is really small and slow. Having a dedicated app would be better (no need to go to browser and wait for site to load). I can't find the old version of the app - not on the mobile site or AppWorld.

Hi,

Please check out:
mobile.sparkpeople.com

This App was made with Blackberry Touch devices and other devices specifically in mind. In a lot of members' opinions, it is better than the original BlackBerry App as well.

Thanks!

I agree with KR_STEN, if you have the app for the iPhone, which is a touch phone, why is it so hard to have if for the blackberry touch phones?

Doesn't make sense to exclude a group of people simply because you aren't taking the time to develop it. I mean the storm has been around for a while now.

Perhaps showing some interest in our concerns and giving us some information on when or even IF there will be an app released for these phones would be great.

Hi,

You can just use the same username/password that you use to login from your desktop to login to the app. If you are still having trouble, you can try to reinstalling the app.

Last, Sparkpeople has updated the mobile web app now and I like it more than the app. You can access this by using your browser and going to:

http://mobile.sparkpeople.com/

This should work on all Blackberry phones and has a few more features including sparkpoints.

Does anyone, ANYONE at all know how to "finish setup" on the BlackBerry Bold 9700 so I can merge my data and start using the app? I really don't want to make a new account just for this, and the app is being so vague on how to go about the setup. Thanks!

Although I downloaded mine straight from the Sparkpeople's link, maybe you should try installing through the crackberry site's download versus the Sparkpeople site's download. Here's the link to access via your phone:

http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=52305&n=Diet-and-Food-Tracker

Also, there's a technical support tab there. Maybe they can help. Otherwise, I would just send an email to SP asking that it be directed to the right department. Unfortunately, I don't have a clue as to what else might help if the above doesn't work! I'm frustrated for you, lol!!!!

P. S. Wouldn't be a bad idea to cut & paste the link using your PC first just in order to be able to read all of the text on the site before you try accessing through your phone! .... tiny little print on the phones can sometimes be annoying!

yes I did register and it said I had to complete it by signing into the site through the browser and I have on both my phone and desktop computer and still nothing. Too bad its a good site would love to have it on my phone. Where can I contact the site for help I couldn't find anything but forums?

Did you click the register link on your first login??? I don't even have to type my name & password in anymore because it keeps me logged in; so, it just automatically opens to the main menu screen. Sorry that you're having so many problems with it. Other than uninstalling and starting from scratch, which you've already done, I unfortunately have no other suggestions! =(

I would like to track what foods I consume during the day just like I do on the site. Is this available with the app? When I click food tracker on the app it just says loading loading loading then it disappears and nothing happens. I uninstalled and reinstalled like 3 times and it says the same thing. Says login from a web browser to complete and obviously I have I been on these threads!

I'been using the BB Diet & Fitness App for the Bold 9650 since Oct. without any issues. My version is V2.1. "IT WORKS FOR ALL BLACKBERRIES EXCEPT STORM & TORCH." You should be able to access it through sparkpeople.com/blackberry. The only drawback is that you cannot access the "food groupings" as is possible on the full site. The Recipe App is a totally different download/application. I hope everyone can access it without a problem BECAUSE IT REALLY MAKES TRACKING AWAY FROM HOME MUCH EASIER!!!!

I just got a Torch a couple weeks ago and was pretty excited about using SparkPeople on it, but the mobile app is a pain (can't see nutrition info until I add food) and using the website is difficult because it's so small.

When will there be an update for Torch? Thanks :)

Is there an updated version/new version of the SP app? I downloaded right when it first came out for my blackberry 8100 - which I haven't used in almost 2 years. I recently got it back, but not turned on with BIS yet. So just thought I'd ask if the app had been updated since then and if I should redownload it. Thank you

Also the fitness side does not include mileage tracker, just cardio

This app is the only reason I learned about SparkPeople. I have been looking for a decent calorie tracker for my phone for ages. I know that writing down what you eat leads to better choices and other trackers are so limiting. I am so ready to "diet" for the last time and just change my lifestyle. I already workout a lot but food is my vice. This app is truly a catalyst for change!

I'm experiencing glitches with the blackberry app. Is it the app or my blackberry? It seems to be out of synch sometimes.
