ÜberTwitter BlackBerry Twitter Application Updated To Version 0.985 With Some Improvements & Bug Fixes

By Mauricio

The team over at ÜberTwitter today released version 0.985 of their BlackBerry Twitter application. This update includes a bunch of improvements and bug fixes like improved memory management, no more timeline freezes, new Mentions button in user profiles, Delete All and Hashtag Picker menu options, and many other changes and fixes. This version is more of a maintenance release where the Beta 8 release included a bunch of new features.

ÜberTwitter is available as a free ad-supported version or a $4.99 ad-free version. Unfortunately, if you just got a Torch 9800, it doesn’t look like the app works on devices with BlackBerry 6 yet. For more info go to ubertwitter.com or see what’s new in the latest version after the jump.
