Did we ditch Tapatalk?

Surly didn’t show up in my Tapatalk app this morning. Did we drop it?  
 

Is there another app that can be used or do we just have to go through the Internet?

Was wondering the same thing. Haven't been able to access surly via tapa since about noon yesterday.

It's talked about on the board discussion board maybe be a better chance there to get answers.  I noticed it wasn't in the tapa registry yesterday afternoon.

You’ll have to click on a message or notification and then log in when prompted.

Is there an advantage to using Tapatalk? I know nothing about it, but I’m all ears.

Tapa creates...strong feelings for and against.

For - it's fast, definitely faster than loading the web/mobile version in safari on your iPhone.  Especially moving back and forth between threads.  If you read multiple forums beyond Surly, it can consolidate them all into a single app.

Against - it's a pain for the board to keep up with their updates, their app is notorious for bad support/crashing, tapa really wants to monetize you and serve you ads of their own or sell you their ad-free version (not sure how it impacts Surly's ad views).

Disclosure, I use tapa on my phone and have forever.  Love it.  Don't subscribe to it and the ads don't bug me.  I've tried other solutions at the urging of various admins here and at Shaggy, mainly the web/mobile version and concluded that they all suck - they're too slow, the load time blows, there is latency/lag issues from when you click to an action occurring that doesn't exist in the app, basically everything else I've seen is a downgrade.  But to be fair, everyone says that their HTML5 app is as good as a bespoke iOS/Android app...until they launch their iOS app.

I got a note from Tapa support. All good now.

I paid for it years ago. Like plenty of people have stated, all of your forums that support it are together. Easy to get through. It’s quick, clean looking, I never have any ads, easy to upload pictures on.

Hopefully, it is 2024. There is no fucking need for tapatalk anymore and the mobile site is far superior.
