  • Poor User Experience

    The app refreshes and flashes all the time.
    Swipe to go back does not work.
    Lots and lots of ads ruin the reading experience.
    Overall, just a poorly written app with a bad user interface.

    Developer Response

    Hi there! We just released a new update that may help with the issues you described here. Do you mind updating the app and trying to see if they persist? If so, could you email us further details at "app-feedback@verticalscope.com" - we would be happy to try and investigate further.
  • Buggy and constant ads

    Uninstalling because it freezes often and video ads keep popping up… extremely annoying (the ads more than the freezing)

If the issues persist, I would be happy to work with you to learn more. Feel free to email us at "app-feedback@verticalscope.com"
  • Fora

    Needs improvements. Tired of drilling down to open a thread then click the back button only to go to the top of the forum. Since most of the forums I follow left Tapatalk I have visited them less and less. This is because Tapatalk was very user friendly this app isn’t. They send you a magic link that doesn’t seem to work or at least I can’t make it work. Ended up logging out of the app and deleting it from my phone. While less convenient I have started using the web interface for any forum that is associated with Fora.

    Hey Jajahdbejsvs! Sorry to hear you are having issues with the back button/resetting. We did just release a new update so I would encourage you to give that version a try to see if your issues are resolved. If not, we would appreciate if you could send us an email to app-feedback@verticalscope.com with a few details about the issues you are having, and steps to reproduce the bug(s). Thank you!
  • Obnoxious Ads Plus Privacy Concerns

    The app description says it's collecting my financial and location data, but that it's not linked to my identity. Why does the vendor need my sensitive information? There is no logical reason other than to sell it, and there is no way the data is salable without being linked to a person. Whether it's linked to our "ID" or not it's really beside the point—it is intrusive and a privacy nightmare. And the full-screen pop-up ads (that pop up and pop up and pop up yet again) are freakin' intolerable! This app's going bye-bye on my network.

  • Collecting my location & financial data??

    The app description says it's collecting my commercial and location data, but that it's not linked to my identity. Why does the vendor need my sensitive information? There is no logical reason other than to sell it, and there is no way the data is salable without being linkable to a person.

  • Please fix usability

    I'm not sure who's posting the positive reviews, but it seems like it might be the company behind this app. Honestly, I can't find anything good about it. They haven't even fixed issues with picture uploads and spell check.
  • Worst app ever in history

    Complete unadulterated garbage. Just nonsense. I have profiles on two different forums using different email addresses and can't login to both at the same time. Even after I changed the login on one of them, my "fora" profile can't be deleted. There is no support. No instructions. No way no how to match up two profiles. Also, the password field is blocked by the keyboard. No paste option. Just blind entry like the people who developed this app. Sick. In 2024 this is just sick. So bad for our country!

  • Great app!

    Very user friendly
  • Impossible to login

    Review was deleted?

    First off, the sign in/login process was insane. The email link does not work, comes up with a error about the magic link stating the developer needs to change something so google is hoping the dev tries their own app to see if its working. Theres a option to copy and paste the link but guess what!? The keyboard covers the area to type in so you cant tap to paste the link, you are left with the option to type in a extremely long link.
    I had to do a time consuming work around were I created a shortcut of the link to paste in.

    So I got into the app and into my forum, now besides it feeling like a web app where the loading times are extreme and sometimes it just opens up a blank page or redirects to a generic error page it kinda works. You can reply to posts, like, and comment. Then I went to create my own post.... absolutely no option to do so. Having the forum your in open on safari is way more convenient. Save your time.
