Android app issues

Yes please improve this droid app. IPhone app is so much better. I wish I could see and zoom the pictures. I would be willing to pay for a better app. Also the app doesn't refresh automatically which is annoying.

I concur there are other services to make a forum Web accessible. However I just go to my tapa talk forums knowing this isn't going to give me the full experience.

One thing that might help, would be to go to the Google play store and leave comments.
If they get enough comments stating all of the problems maybe the developer will fix it.

Isn't forumrunner witch this app is based on almost dead on the android platform?

Bug Reports - Forum Runner Support

Not sure if there are any bug fixing at all, hoping they switch to Tapatalk soon.

Last update on Tapatalk they really I mean really screwed that app up . It was very good before the update..... crap after the update.

Yes, it's a bit strange in the user experience but hopefully they adjust the design. Forumrunner seems to be dead in the water so it's not a good solution.

Just checked in here to see if there are any updates on the droid app. I have it installed on my Samsung G4, but don't use it anymore. Looks like they might have a Tapatalk app, or are those comments just general dissatisfaction on Tapatalk? Anyway, when I do browse TBN via smartphone, I just use Chrome. It takes a little work to re-size a page once you load it, but everything is there - user Avatars, on-line / off-line notifications, signatures, and even PIC's, which you can click on and re-size to actually see. Not ideal, but I've had it with the TBN droid app. It's a total failure. Seems to be no priority for them to fix it despite all the complaints.

Nope, no updates in 6 months. Every single bug noted is still there.

I'd mentioned Tapatalk not sucking & being a good option. Although the recent version of Tapatalk sucks bad, so confusing, cluttered & disorganized compared to how it use to work.
