It kept crashing, as if reminding us that it was not made for this platform. Of the dozen-odd apps that I downloaded, I could not get the Google Chrome browser to load.
The apps downloaded and installed within seconds. Within minutes I had all the apps I had running on my Android device on the Z30. It has a top apps section as well as a search option. This was the closest one could get to Google Play on the BlackBerry. OPTION 3: We then tried a third party app store called APK Train on the browser. But we could not get to load the app despite our best attempts. OPTION 2: Snap, is an app that brings Google Play to a BlackBerry and should hence be the easiest, at least on paper. Worked for me with only one of the five apps I tried. However, this method strangely had a poor success rate. OPTION 1: The easiest way is to mail yourself an APK, which can then be downloaded and installed. Here we look at three and tell you what works best. There are many options to side-load Android apps on a BlackBerry.
