BlackBerry has announced that its BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) apps for Android and iOS have already been downloaded over 10 million times.
BlackBerry re-launched the Android and iOS apps yesterday, after problems with
a rogue version of the Android app forced BlackBerry to suspend the rollout
for almost a month.
Despite this initial huccup, however, BlackBerry claims that yesterday was one
of the best single-day openings for a mobile app ever.
BBM quickly rose through the rankings on the App Store to become the number
one free app in more than 75 countries in the first 24 hours, including the
US, Canada, the UK, Indonesia and most of the Middle East, according to
BlackBerry.
User ratings in both the App Store and Google Play are also overwhelmingly
positive, earning BBM 60,000 five-star reviews on
Google Play from about 87,000 reviews.

“The mobile messaging market is full of opportunity for BBM,” said
Andrew Bocking, Executive Vice President, BBM at BlackBerry. "We intend
to be the leading private social network for everyone who needs the
immediate communication and collaboration of instant messaging combined with
the privacy, control and reliability delivered through BBM."
