Blaq for BlackBerry 10 Review

Blaq continues the tradition of being the premiere Twitter client on BlackBerry with its latest version. It does away with  the standard Cascades UI and instead opts for its own take on gesture-based navigation.

Pulling the main feed to one side reveals standard navigation tabs - mentions, lists, home, your profile... stuff like that. Pulling to the left shows a list of actions that can be executed depending on which tweet your were pressing on originally. dragging up or down from there lets you select reply, retweet, favorite, or quote tweet, and releasing launches into the action. Along the top is a timeline showing where you are in your feed, and tapping it lets you zip backup to the most recent tweets easily.

Blaq is a sharply-designed, modern, and unique app and is extremely impressive, even outside the sphere of Twitter apps.
