For iPhone, iPad, and Android users, it hasn’t been an issue. For Blackberry users, it has: DasTelefonbuch’s smartphone app. But now, the mobile address directory is also available for Blackberry devices.
The free app is available for download in the BlackBerry-Appworld, and opens up a valuable resource of over 30 million addresses from dastelefonbuch.de, all from a smartphone. In addition to the individual local or national search for telephone, fax, mobile, and service numbers, as well as addresses from businesses and private people, users can also use the vicinity search: through GPS, the app automatically recognizes the location of the user and delivers requested addresses from restaurants, pharmacies, taxi stands, and other POIs that are ready to view on the map.

Die mobile App von Das Örtliche ist inzwischen nicht nur fürs iPhone erhältlich, sondern auch für Android-Smartphones. Die Features für Android sind die gleichen wie beim iPhone.

Die App ermittelt nach dem Okay des Users automatisch seinen Standort und lässt sich dann auf individuelle Wünsche zuschneiden. Der Nutzer kann sich so informieren, was ihn rings um seinen Aufenthaltsort interessieren könnte. Das funktioniert so: Lieblingsthemen als Favoriten direkt auf den Startbildschirm legen, zum Beispiel Sport, Kultur, Nachtleben. Ein Klick, und man hat zum gewünschten Thema die passenden Einträge aus seinem Umkreis, wahlweise auf einer Karte oder als Luftbild -  Adresse und Telefonnummer inklusive. Die mehr als 500.000 Gewerbeeinträge lassen sich mit einem weiteren Klick direkt kostenfrei anrufen. Eigentlich praktisch, wenn man im Restaurant oder Kino gleich reservieren will.
