BerryReader For BlackBery: An Awesome, Awesome Google Reader Client For The BlackBerry

July 13, 2010 by Robb Dunewood 1 Comment

I have to admit that it is not very often that I actually spend money buying BlackBerry applications.  It’s not that there aren’t a lot of really good BlackBerry applications out there, however, one of the perks of writing a BlackBerry blog is that developers often send you evaluations of their software so that you can review it.

That being said, I recently spent $10 on BerryReader, the most awesome Google Reader client for the BlackBerry that I’ve ever seen, and, it was worth every penny.

I have well over 500 feeds that I track daily in Google Reader.  I actually leave Google Reader open and running in a Google Chrome Window all by itself just because of the amount of time that I spend reading feeds each day.  BerryReader is the first Google Reader client for the BlackBerry that I’ve actually been able to use effectively while on the go and keep up with all of the feeds that I track daily.

Like I said, BerryReader for BlackBerry is an awesome, awesome Google Reader client for the BlackBerry, however, you don’t have to take my word for it check it out for yourself.  BerryReader offers a Free Trial!

    This thing doesn’t work with my Google Apps account. Kinda sucks. I don’t use Gmail anymore.
