I think I tried Tapatalk for about three days or so and absolutely hated it. I expected it to be great considering how many people use it, but I find it much easier to just leave a few tabs open in Chrome and view the full website.
It’s leaps/bounds better than the VS app… because Tapatalk went thru its crappy moments. I prefer the current setup of Tapatalk than any of the mobile versions I’ve seen thus far.
Update or two ago for VS app, can’t mark forums read. Like, really? That’s the part you drop?
For an app…
-easily show me threads I posted in.
-easily show me threads with new posts.
-easily allow me to go into specific sections of the forum that may interest me, and be able to see new posts.
-easily allow me to mark all read after browsing, so I can keep up with discussions.
And specifically for the VS app… allow users to remove forums from the list of communities. I went thru and found some dead forums that I stopped visiting because some have similar names to other forums I do visit.
That isn’t even going into that the VS app is literally a browser with crappy interface. If VS changes it and does what I posted above (which is the current version of Tapatalk), I’m sold. If not… bye.
I tried the Fora app for a couple of weeks and I thought it was ok at first, but ended up not liking it.
I hope the new version is not on the Fora app.
If you wan an example of how NOT to do things, look at what's happened to GunHub after its acquisition by Second Media. It's basically been turned into nothing but a classifieds-board for advertisers albeit with a VERY deep archive from BatleRifles and M14Forum.
