A. No, but don't feel bad, there are many more and much better free apps in the Play Store (formerly Android Market) on the phone. Tap the Play or Market icon on the phone to get started downloading.
Q. I have a BlackBerry, can I use these games and apps
A. The apps on this site are intended for Boost's non-smartphones. Some of them work on BlackBerrys but many don't. The best sources for BlackBerry apps are BlackBerry App World and this big list of free BlackBerry software.
Q. I sent an app to my iDEN phone but it never appeared under "New Purchases" in "Download Apps". What went wrong and how can I fix it.
A. The most likely cause is that you entered your phone number incorrectly. Try again and remember to enter the number with no dashes or spaces, just ten numbers starting with the area code. Do not put a "1" in front of the number.
If your Boost account is new, downloading will not work until up to 7 days after activation.
Q. I got a "Java Error" while installing on my iDEN phone how can I fix this?
A. When this happens, find the new app in the Java Apps menu. It will have a generic looking icon with an X or downward pointing arrow on it. Select the app and press "OK". It will start installing again only this time it will list the steps of the install on the screen. Wait for it to fail and then take note of which which step it failed on:
If the error occurs during the "Loading Classes" or "Validating classes" part of the install it means that the app is not compatible with your phone and will never work. All apps on BoostApps have been tested on a Motorola i776. They generally work on all iDEN phones but some are not compatible with certain models.
