Is it worth buying and installing or an aggravating piece of shit? Is there another app that's better?

I just got my first smartphone, an android nexus 4. Viewing forums is kind of a pain in the ass.

Worth it. Not that expensive either.

Buying now then. You led me straight on the 5.45, I trust you on the tapatalk.

No. The new one doesn't have access to PMs, that I've found anyway. So that sucks.

Tapatalk 1 with the update doesn't have them either... Hmm

PMs work on other forums I am a member of on Tapatalk....makes me think it is an M4C issue.

I think so too. Occasionally, if I log out & back in, I'll have access to PMs. Only lasts for a little while & it reverts back to a 4 button menu. Weird

Tapatalk is worth it. And the PM issue is a problem with this site as it works on other forums just fine.

I can access PMs on this site no problem. You just can't log in under the "local" option and you have to use the one that says its the official M4C or something like that.

That works for me temporarily, but eventually it disappears and I have to delete M4C, find it again, and then log back in. Kind of a pain.

Yep, that's been my experience. Glad to learn I'm not the only one. I suspect it is a M4C specific problem though, as I don't have to login/logout on the other forums I access via Tapatalk.

I'm looking in to it, but do not have admin access for all aspects of the site. No timetable for closure.

Sorry.

I'm a loser so I don't have to worry about people sending me PM's unless it's JSantoro and I went full retard again.

It isn't just PMs; as stated earlier, after a short period the forum reverts to the four button menu. You lose quite a bit of functionality from the 7 button menu (such as ability to sort by Latest posts). Logging out and logging back in brings the 7 button menu back up.

I still recommend Tapatalk; as said earlier this is more of a site specific glitch. Glad that M4C Staff is looking into it.

You will use way less data surfing forums on tapatalk then in a browser. Its faster too.

do it

I rarely use tapatalk.

If I have my forum settings set to show stuff in reverse order (i.e. , page 1 is the latest posts), which is how I have my account for browser use, tapatalk does not honor it. The forum gives the posts in the correct order, but tapatalk will then go to the .0 post, which is the "last" post in its non-honoring of my settings, and display that.

The tapatalk people acknowledge the issue but won't say if it is a bug and will be fixed. Has been an issue for a long time.

Tapatalk is great. For the few dollars it costs and the benefits far outweigh any bugs. I wish it had a post preview function.
