ColorNote Notepad Notes by Social & Mobile, Inc.
For those who don't know me I am a firm believer in organized chaos. Technically, I try to keep my to-do lists in order and everything organized. In reality, it just means I know how to navigate the pile of paper and post-it notes to find what I need. As I am always willing to try any and every note-taking application available, I thought I would give this a try. Color Note is a simple notepad editing application to write notes, memos, emails, messages, shopping lists and more and sync across your devices. It organizes notes by color, gives the option to create checklists for to-dos and shopping lists, organize your schedule in the calendar (theirs, not the BlackBerry native app), password protect notes, option to backup or sync online by creating an account with Facebook or Google, as well as other features to organize and categorize your notes. ColorNote is a simple color-coded application that you can download for free in the Amazon Appstore. While calendar entries do not show up in the BlackBerry calendar, reminders and alerts do appear in the Hub.

Craftsy by Craftsy
Under normal circumstances, when I attempt to craft I wind up failing miserably. I mean that the item made looks nothing like what it is supposed to. I discovered Craftsy in theAmazon Appstore and thought I would take a look to see if there were any new hobbies or projects to pick up. The application allows you to explore and access hundreds of online classes in photography, cooking, cake decorating, drawing, quilting, sewing and more. While there are classes that are free other will require a purchase either through the app or on their website. Some of the classes can be expensive, but there are quite a few that are free or reasonably priced. For those who love crafts and want the flexibility of learning on their own time and at their own pace, you can download this for free.

Bubble Pop DX by EntwicklerX
If you are looking for quick and easy game to pass the time there is nothing like the old bubble game. All you have to do is tap on two or more adjacent bubbles of the same color to break them. The more bubbles you break with a single tap, the more higher your score. These kinds of games are always simple but they are entertaining and give you a much needed break throughout the day. You can download this Android port in BlackBerry World for free. However, it is only compatible with the BlackBerry Z10, Z3, and Z30.
