### 5/5 — No update anymore?!

*2024-04-30*

Why is this app abandoned and no longer receiving updates for improvement or optimization?!

### 1/5 — Years of use, gone.

*2023-09-23*

I am disappointed the new owners of Tapatalk did something that VerticalScope, who own every forum I frequent, didn’t like and now they have blocked Tapatalk. 
I’ve been using it for years and now it’s a useless app. 
RIP Tapatalk.

### 1/5 — No support

*2023-03-12*

It has been more than a year without any updates. Not to mention issues that app has in terms of bugs that aren’t being solved. So you pay for something which will not be maintained and forgotten from developer. Avoid this app.

### 1/5 — Will not update subscribed threads on iPad and iPhone

*2023-03-05*

This has been an ongoing problem for me, for close to two years. Have been back and forth with support numerous times. If there was a better app out there, I’d go to it because of the aggravation with it. Support will get it working right and then all of a sudden, no new posts with no changes to anything on my accounts. It seems to be related most of the time, to updates to the iOS system. It’s getting real frustrating to deal with. Do not recommend Tapatalk Pro because of the constant problems.

### 1/5 — Timeline and notifications just don’t work

*2023-02-24*

It used to be a great app but over the years it has become a garbage. Since last few months the timeline and notifications feed has stopped working but there’s no attempt to fix it from the development team. Appalling!

### 1/5 — Stops working

*2022-09-13, version 8.10.1*

A couple of weeks ago it stopped alerting me when there were updates or replies in the threads I follow. The whole “notifications” section is stale. It periodically had stopped working in other parts of the app but this makes it unusable.

### 1/5 — Posting photos no longer works correctly

*2022-04-06, version 8.10.1*

I’ve been on with all the other bugs over the years, but now with an iPhone 13 if you add a photo to a post it loads in blank. So you can’t keep typing or see what photos you post. If you post the comment and then edit the post you can view the photos then as a workaround and then repost. It’s a pain.

### 1/5 — Privacy violations

*2021-09-13, version 8.10.1*

Tapatalk has always been intrusive and privacy violating with analytics you can’t see (going back about 4-5 years at least) Thanks to iOS 14 alerts, the newest violation is that they copy the clipboard every time you open or switch to the app. AVOID! They have recently updated their tracking information and… wow. No thank you! Back to a web browser for forums!

### 1/5 — App is broken

*2021-06-16, version 8.10.1*

Get error on forums. No threads show up.

### 1/5 — Needs Updated

*2021-04-24, version 8.5.3*

Some forums are not working anymore and no updates.
