For any of you that may have been following along with the Chive On thread (which is a third party app for theCHIVE) over in the CrackBerry Forums you probably know that the developer has been waiting on Alec Saunders to get it approved and into BlackBerry World so we can all start enjoying the app. Well it seems that due to high demand Skrewball has just released a beta version of the app for all of us to play with. This version is a bar file so it will need to be sideload just like we all have become use to already.
If you’re not to familiar with what theCHIVE is about here is a quick description for you.

I don’t know about any of you but I think it’s great to see so many developers making apps that we are interested in but don’t have on BlackBerry 10 yet, and the Chive On app is a great example of that. As many of these apps are Chive On is FREE but if you want to support yet another fantasic developer you can send a small (or large) donation through PayPal here.
