PocketDay Start developed by Cross River Systems is an app that allows you to group your favourite contacts, applications and links together and access them from a common location. This app saves you the trouble of going through numerous folders to access your favorite applications. The program also gives you one touch access to frequently used applicaions and other phone features.
PocketDay Start is compatible with phones running Blackberry OS 4.5 and higher.
The task bar of the main menu of PocketDay Start contains four options namely contacts, emails and calendar, applications and internet links to choose from. You can check this out in the screenshot shown below. The app effectively utilizes the touchscreen of the Blackberry storm, giving you one touch access to groups of items.
The first icon is the contact option which gives you access to your address book where you can create shortcuts to contacts you use the most. These contacts will appear under the contacts option. If a picture has been assinged to your contact it replaces the default icon, making it a nifty way to access your contacts. The contacts can also be arranged according to your preference. After highlighting a contact, you can choose a mode of communication(call,text,email) for the contact as shown in the screenshot below.
The second icon is the email/calendar/tasks option which provides access to messages, calendar entries and tasks. For messages, your inbox and text and email composition options are also made available. The Calendar option allows you to view your agenda and appointments. Tasks lets you create new entries or search through the existing entries.
The third offering is the applications option which gives you access to the apps you most often use. This part of the app functions as a standard app launcher where you can keep the apps you use most often.
Finally the fourth icon is for internet links which groups your favorite links together.
PocketDay Start is more than a regular app launcher. Apart from giving you access to apps that you freqeuently use, it also gives you one touch access to other functions of your phone such as emails and contacts.
If you're on a tight schedule and require quick access to important contacts and apps on your Blackberry Storm, PocketDay Start could be the perfect app for you.
