Title: Tapatalk Alternatives - got any?
Post by: Novus on Thu, 06 February 2014, 19:44:52: I know we have quite a few Tapatalk users here.
What else do you mobile geekhackers like to use to browse this forum?
I usually stay away from Tapatalk unless I need to upload images/attachments because of the app's poor information density.
Most browsers work well enough but aren't quite optimal.

But it's really hard to navigate the forum on your phone using Chrome

Are you using the bandwidth saving mode?

Post by: keymaster on Thu, 06 February 2014, 22:42:28: Hmm...I uninstalled Tapatalk and reinstalled it again. It seemed to fix whatever the problem was.

Post by: Wildcard on Mon, 10 February 2014, 09:59:42: What version of Tapatalk is everyone using? I've got my old .ipa file of Tapatalk that I keep reverting back to on my iPhone because I can't stand the new version. I'm on V1.17.1
Title: Re: Tapatalk Alternatives - got any?
Post by: SpAmRaY on Mon, 10 February 2014, 10:06:01: I'm using 4.4.5 Pro on Android
Title: Re: Tapatalk Alternatives - got any?
Post by: Novus on Mon, 10 February 2014, 15:33:19: 4.4.2 the regular android edition. I was considering buying pro but I normally just use a browser for BBS browsing on the tablet anyways.

Post by: hashbaz on Mon, 10 February 2014, 16:28:33: Tapatalk crashes for me all the time on Android. Still usually better than using the web browser.

What version are you running?

I had to uninstall completely and then install one of the newer versions. Also clearing out the cache seems to help.
Title: Re: Tapatalk Alternatives - got any?
Post by: hashbaz on Mon, 10 February 2014, 16:55:24: Crashes in both the older version (3.x I guess?) and the newer version 4. Haven't tried uninstalling yet.
