Tapatalk, an app we used to really love, is well on their way to ruining their product. They rolled out an 'upgrade' recently that is absolutely horrific. Their product has gone from a simple, incredibly easy and useful mobile browsing app to a jumbled mess in a hurry.

If you make the mistake of upgrading, you have two options (you'll have to uninstall the current app before pursuing either). If you use an iPhone or iPad, you should be able to go to your App store, go to the 'Purchased' section, and find Tapatalk Pro or some other earlier Tapatalk version and reinstall. If you have an android device, you can download and install an earlier version here Tapatalk 4.9.5 APK Download - APKMirror . Most folks recommend the 4.9.5 version.

Tapatalk is getting pummeled for this latest 'upgrade' - and I mean mercilessly. Whether or not they listen to their customers or not is questionable. We may move on ourselves if we don't see them veering back to the older, more user friendly app soon.
 
Amen brother - I don't get it either.
 
I never understand why when you have a good thing people want to change it.

Software companies have no clue what "if it ain't broke don't fix it" means. They think everything is always broken and can always be made better. Drives me nuts sometimes and I'm in the business.
 
I had been avoiding updating this, but the other day I did by accident. It is horrible to navigate, I may just go back to using a browser webpage....

If you go to the app store where you downloaded it, and go to the 'Purchased' section, you should be able to delete the current version and reinstall the older version. That's what I did. Version 4.9.5 is great.

Hmmmm, not sure if I need more time on here tho, as much as I love this site and all.
