This seems pretty cool. I really like the features after a quick 2 minute look.
I can't find how to reply or post threads, though.
Anyone else using this to view CP?

What's the advantage other than being a little faster to follow threads? And how exactly is it faster to follow threads? I have no problem doing so in mobile Safari, and it's as fast for me to navigate as it is on my computer...

I just don't see the pizazz here at all....

It's a lot faster to move around, and it has a bunch of built-in "contextual menus" that reduce the amount of network traffic it uses. For example, if you want to quote a post, you hold on the post, click "quote" in the popup menu, and are taken to the new post editor with the quoted text included. That operation doesn't use ANY network traffic.

On the Android version, it also has a "view in browser" button that will launch your browser and take you to the relevant thread, too, so that makes it work fairly fluidly for me.

I'd say the big thing is just that it's a lot faster since it's loading data directly from the DB rather than loading the full HTML page and then reducing the page to fit on the phone.

To each his own, though. It definitely has its issues, but for general browsing and the occasional post, I dig it.

Ahhh. That makes much more sense now. Thank you guys.

So am I the only one that absolutely hates the latest update? Went from an app that I loved to a total piece of crap.

**Buck** · 12-20-2014, 12:04 PM

The last 10 updates have all been shit and they added advertisements even on the paid all which is bullshit.

I still use it.

jspchief · 12-20-2014, 12:08 PM

The new layout is brutal. what a bloated piece of crap

ThaVirus · 12-20-2014, 12:11 PM

It's been shit for me since the latest update. I've been forced to go back to Safari half the time.

This.
..pain in the ass to toggle back and forth between forums etc.
..wish I could revert back.

Hootie · 12-20-2014, 02:02 PM

yeah the new update sucks asshole

Sully · 12-30-2014, 10:22 AM

I can't even use this, the past few days. My "Unread" tab always shows as empty, and the only forum I can navigate is the main lounge.

**Buehler445** · 12-30-2014, 08:56 PM

I just use the browser. It works pretty well. The only PIA is that safari doesn't keep the password very long, so I downloaded Opera and it works meh. But still better than Tapatalk ever did IMO.

**Buck** · 01-30-2015, 04:26 PM

Every time I get used to using the app they change it. **** off Tapatalk.

taptalk is hot garbage. I only use it to limit the amount of bandwidth that gets charged.

This.

**DaFace** · 02-02-2015, 04:30 PM

I've given up on it and have gone back to 4.9.5 on Android and locked down updates. It still works fine. Very disappointing that they've shit all over what was once a pretty decent product.

ThaVirus · 02-04-2015, 12:36 PM

New update looks sleek and seems to be functioning well.

I've literally only had it for about 2 minutes though.
