Hanging on to Blackberry 10

I am a Blackberry 10 Fan and I still use a Blackberry Z10. While I do have an Android phone I still love my Blackberry.  Blackberry 10 is dead. Over the years some useful apps have stopped being supported and no longer work while others despite no support continue to work but are no longer updated.
