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.

Tapa talk has never done a good job of keeping track of where I am at in a thread. That is one thing that I think tbn excels at, always knows exactly where I left off regardless of which plarform I used last... pc or phone app.

Every time you post using android it hangs waiting with contacting site. End up cancelling trying again..... Says duplicate post

The app has ISSUES and it appears they don't care. .

Gotta say... Tapatalk version 4.11.2.... FIXED there problems. It's back as the best forum app that I'm aware of. You guys should consider it.

I think they have to go for Tapatalk, if Forumrunner don't rise from the dead nothing will happen to the Tractorbynet app as it are based on it.

Do anybody of the crew running this forum read this thread? Status?

That's what I have been wondering. The only response we have gotten has basically said that the app is fine because it loaded fine on the admin's phone and that the problem is with out connections? This is the only app that I have issues with, so I don't think it's a connection issue. I can load/read tbn through the browser just fine, but what a pain.

As I stated before, I really like the app when/if it functions the way it is supposed to. I would prefer them not switch to tapatalk, but if that's what it takes to get it to work then I guess there is no choice.

Oh yeah, the one other complaint I have is that there is no way to see anyone's location or signatures on the app. I understand it is probably to save space/bandwidth but I wish there was at least an option to click on a user to see that info.

The alternative to Tapa is a mobile friendly site design.
I don't know how large percentage of the users are on mobile/pads but where I live it is the by far the most important platform.

Over the past 2-3 years I've gone from doing 90% of Internet activity on a pc to now 90% done on smartphone. Next purchase most likely tablet and then it will be 99%. They need to fix the app or get something else.

That the one released in the past few days? I just updated & its a lot better than the previous crap. Jury is still out if its better than the older version or not, but its promising.
