Yet another update that has added nothing of value and retains all of the faults and shortcomings of previous versions:

The "reply" is now the "quote" button. Change for the sake of change.

Thread view is still centered on the iPad. Not only does this waste valuable screen real estate but it makes browsing more difficult by eliminating the split screen of earlier versions. Now you must repeatedly return to the previous screen just to view other topics rather than having them constantly present to the left of the current thread. And this was done without the benefit of a full screen view!

The continuous "page" in thread view introduced a couple updates ago was also a huge step backwards.

Ads continue to get more intrusive (who thought that was even possible?!?)

It repeatedly prompts me to log in to my most viewed forum even though I've never logged out — and then returns an error message when I try.

And this "modern" app still cannot do what could be done in any web browser 20 years ago!

Bottom line is, as easy as it is to browse forums in the app, it is still no match for a web browser. Inexcusably, even such a basic feature as text formatting (bold, italic, etc.) is not included so it's back to Safari for all but the simplest replies.

I'm seeing less and less reason to use Tapatalk. I will certainly NEVER pay for it!

As far as I can tell, I can't just look at the unread posts on the ONE forum I use this app for. It was a pain to get to before but now I can't do it at all. That, coupled with the fact that I PAID FOR THE APP YEARS AGO AND THEY DISCONTINUED IT, THEN MADE A NEW, PAID VERSION means that I'm done with this piece of crap company. I'm done. I'm not coming back this time. I'll just use the website for the forum I visit. Screw Tapatalk!

EDIT: I found where they buried the one freaking feature that I use on this app. The "Unread" link is now hidden in the "Discussions" link. There was a time that I could set this as the default action when I opened Tapatalk. They ruined that years ago. But I dealt with it (even though I got screwed after paying for the app and then they changed it to a free app). I just want the option to set my home page to the Unread section of the one single forum I use the app for. Until I get that back, this app is 1-star to me.

Was an early paid adopter of tapatalk and feel like this version has several issues: ads even after the required wait time are not closable. The app on several situations will log out users randomly. The app also cannot seem to sync with feedback setups for forums and not can it edit some forum thread titles. It is a shame that they can take money from users, restructure their sales model for more $ and still not improve their product’s stability and have several detrimental issues. I asked if they could upgrade my account to at least get around the ads as I bought tapatalk in 2012. Was told they closed their conversion window. Well that’s fine but I’m definitely not re investing in a sub satisfactory product. Good luck tapatalk.

Update: since the auto canned response to my review, no follow up after contacting CS. They are definitely earning the one-star rating for the app and customer service.
