Free FourPlay Foursquare App For The BlackBerry PlayBook Updated To Version 1.1.20 – Lots Of Changes!

By Mauricio

If you own a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and are active on Foursquare, you’ll definitely want to check out the FourPlay application by BerryCodes. The FourPlay app has been available for a while now but the initial release was a bit choppy and not as visually appealing as many hoped it would be. That isn’t the case anymore since FourPlay added Justin Peacock (@MrDink) to their team and have completely refreshed the user interface. Not only does the app look a lot better now, it also includes a bunch of needed features and changes.
