User Reviews

Users largely report BlackBerry Connect as unreliable: it often fails to connect, logs out, and disrupts notifications. When it does work, it’s acceptable, and the email feature works well, but the chat/IM experience is plagued by loops, sign-in errors, and instability across iOS versions.
Pros
  • Email portion works well.
  • When it works, it’s relatively reliable for basic use.
  • Provides BB Connect chat/IM features when connected.
Cons
  • Frequent connection failures and retry loops prevent signing in or accessing messages.
  • Unreliable and unstable; users get logged out, go offline, or the app freezes.
  • Notifications and instant messages delivery are inconsistent or missing.
  • Authentication/sign-in problems, frequent re-downloads, and password/keychain issues.
  • Compatibility and stability issues on iOS versions (e.g., iOS 13.x).
Recent reviews
When it works, it’s reliable but when it doesn’t, it’s absolute trash. It’ll just keep looping - trying to connect then retry after another 60 seconds. Absolute trash. I could use this app too and it is super unreliable. This goes from working to not working randomly and completely unpredictably and they don’t seem to care to fix it.

May connect, may just circle. Doesn't matter if you are connected to wi-fi or 5G

All BlackBerry suite apps work except for this one. The QR code and access code failed despite I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times.
