Tapatalk sucks.. any good alternatives?
« on: November 26, 2016, 09:26:20 AM »
does anyone have a decent alternative to Tapatalk?  The latest versions have gotten progressively worse, and the latest is basically unusable on my S7.

I hate to sound snide (and old), but how about a computer?
Seriously, though many programs come up with phone version apps, or apps to help phones navigate sites in this  smaller format, they all seem lacking, as they compromise to allow navigation on our tiny displays.
However, that said, if I remember rightly, it was one or two years ago, right around Christmas, when I saw Tapatalk really take a major turn for the worse, and it hasn't been as easy to use for our purposes here ever since.
I understand that with some apps, i-tunes will let one revert back to an older version, no help to me.

using a computer right now.. but when sitting in a car while waiting for someone, a phone is much more convenient.

Honestly tho, the timeline feature on tapatalk is really nice when it works... you can see all the posts in order that have been made recently... kinda l like a on-steroids version of the homepage 'recent topics'

Yeah... it's teh sucks lately.

"unread" won't show anything even though there are a TON of unread topics.

I only use it for unread and subscribed... mainly subscribed because unread isn't working.

Most of my time on this site is spent on my phone, and I just use the full site. It's pretty mobile friendly honestly.

I found this alert from Tapatalk humorous.
