Not very user friendly.
Try Forum Runner, its much better the the new tapaptalk
I can't figure it out at all!
I went back to the old version of tapatalk. I did a search for it on the Internet and found it. It's not from the Play store on my phone. I've had it for nearly a year, and so far no changes.
Everytime I get used to tapatalk they change it all up!! Tired of this Bull.
Worst it has ever been . Wish they would stop trying to fix something that ain't broke
Well,....that makes me feel better. I was starting to think I was just getting old and set in my ways.Quote:

It took me awhile and I don't really like it like the old version, but I have figured it out and no its not user friendly compared to the last one
I'm trying to figure Tapatalk out now, but I can't find the list of state forums. Any suggestions on how to find the list clfarms1?
Bill, On your home screen of tap a talk there is a orange bar that runs across the top of it, tap on it and it will open up the forums and then you will see State Message boards, it displays all of them and you have to run through them all to get where you want in a drop down list
Thx. I'll try that. I don't recall seeing the Orange bar tho.Quote:

Piece of cake now. Thx again clfarms!!!! I like some of the new features. Just gotta learn how to navigate the program.
I still can't figure out how to find the forums list.
Feelay, open it up and it should come up to the profile page, half way down the page where it says crappie fishing push on it, now it should say crappie fishing at the top of the page, tap on it and it should come up with all the sub forums on this page. see if that works
When you go the the C.C home page, it will say "crappie fishing" in the Orange section on the top of the page. Click on the words crappie fishing and the forums screen will come up. When you select state forums, they are all listed separately. Sippi OT, Sippi, Magnolia Crappie Club, Fruit Jar, etc.Quote:

Even tho I've learned how to work the new Tapatalk format, it still isn't as user friendly as it was before. I like the Forum Runner layout better but I can't get it to show any emoticons. [emoji4]
[emoji3][emoji550] I think I figured out how to use the new Tapatalk. [emoji106][emoji122]
I got it...still not crazy about it
I also "figured it out,"but kinda decided I don't want the hassle of dealing with all the changes.
I wish the forums and sub forums were still together instead of separated so much. Maybe a drop down under each state or sumptin.
I made a disliked review on Tapatalk and they responded with this. Looks like a lot of people are not liking it.
There has been an overwhelming reaction to our latest release and we acknowledge that much of it was negative. Since then, we’ve been listening to you, our passionate users who have cared enough to give us feedback, and for that we are extremely grateful. We've combed through the discourse, gathered a lot of great suggestions, and we plan to implement many of them in the very near future.Currently there are 3 main areas we are actively working on to improve our user experience:
1. Topic/Thread User Interface (UI):
“The user interface was one of the main areas of contention. Wasted space, reduced visibility of content, and features make the app difficult to use.”
To answer this issue, there will be an overhaul of our content card UI (the display of topics/threads). The upcoming interface is designed to:
- Improve readability and status (read vs unread)
- A cleaner look that removes wasted screen real estate. (goodbye blue/grey bars! more viewable topics)
- The new cards will also allow you to instantly interact with each post, including marking posts as read or subscribed.
Expect to see the above changes by the end of January on Android and shortly thereafter on iOS. However improving our UI will be an ongoing process so it won’t just stop there. The above fixes may still be tweaked based on your feedback even after release.
After initial UI fixes are live, we will also work on providing an optional “compact” card UI mode so that seasoned forum users can quickly glance through more content. We plan on rolling out this feature in the February/March timeframe.
2. Forum Navigation:
“Forum Browse is gone! They expect us to view nothing but trending and recommended content now!”
The forum browse navigation was a big departure from past versions and was not obvious to many users to the point they thought we took it away. To fix this, we will improve the sub-forum browsing experience and redesign the visual cues to make finding forum browse easier. Fixes in this area include:
- Ability to navigate to any sub-forum from anywhere in the forum
- A layout that provides more of a full screen navigation experience
- A “vertical breadcrumb” interface so you know exactly where you are in the forum hierarchy at all times
- Accomplish both of the above with the minimal amount of clicks.
We think the new implementation will significantly simplify the sub-forum browsing experience. The timetable for this updated forum navigation experience will also be 3rd week of February on Android and iOS shortly thereafter.
Additional UI and Feature fixes
“It doesn’t make sense that my subscribed content is located in the hard to find drop-down navigation”
“Forum home screens make it hard to see all of my content”
“What do these tab icons mean? They don’t represent each function well at all”
Based directly off your feedback on various parts of the UI, beginning in January, these additional changes to various parts of the UI are officially on the roadmap and should roll out within the next few updates:
- A longer preview of content in Feed including PMs/Conversations
- Improved forum listing view in Profile tab that is more compact
- Subscribed sub-forums will now be displayed in your subscribed tab instead of in the dropdown navigation
- Optimizing Home Screen forum cover image to take less space
- Updated tab icons to help you more quickly recognize content and actions
- Cleaning up other areas that include icons and navigation that were confusing
We are constantly trying to make Tapatalk a better product for our users and while we may not get it right from time to time, it doesn’t change our mission to improve for you. Your feedback keeps us on track and moving forward, we appreciate that greatly and will continue to listen.
Thank you for your passion, patience, and we look forward to continue working together with you to make Tapatalk better.
We will have renewed focus on our beta groups as well. Please check our stickies or keep an eye on this thread to learn how to join our iOS testflight team and Android Beta Community. More updates to come as they develop...
Hmmmmm. Looks like we gotta relearn it in a few weeks. [emoji4]
Go over to google......google tapatalk...there is a link you can use and you can download the old version of tapatalk.....you down load it without going through the app store. Set your phone for manual updates only and then do not update it.
It is encouraging to see that they are listening to the feed back and responding.
Hard to find that kind of customer service anymore.Quote:
