blackberry hub kinda app for iPhone?

[Bramuella]

Hello everyone,

I recently switched from blackberry q10 to iPhone 6. I really like the iPhone but my biggest disappointment of the iPhone is that there isn't an inbuilt "hub" that collects all messages (email, fb, whatsapp, etc)
Is there an app in the AppStore that's compared to the blackberry hub?

Notification Center has your notifications for different apps, but that's basically it (beyond that it's just what's in each different app).

That's too bad...
It would make your iPhone a lot more efficient

There used to be a few years back, but they went out of business before the iOS beta launched. Lots of demand for something like that, but then lots of people are concerned with privacy issues and how the backend of these things work.

Apple never allows efficiency to get in the way of it's control of the user experience.

I've just read this on the interwebs: http://blogs.blackberry.com/2015/03/introducing-blackberry-experience/

Blackberry brings the blackberry hub and other apps to ios! I'm totally gonna buy it the first day this comes out!

Without efficiency there is not a good user experience right?

Oh I totally agree. The problem is Apple does not necessarily see it the same way. And unfortunately Apple likes to try and prevent it's users from making any experience that is not under their control.

One of the reasons I have jailbroken iPhones.
