Tapatalk sent the Dev of Forum Fiend a cease and desist letter, and he's complying instead of fighting, unfortunately. That's why Forum Fiend isn't being "found" in the play store. I already paid for the ad free version and installed it a few months ago so that's why it still shows up for me.
The old version of Tapatalk has now been crippled - the forum search database has been removed so it's no longer possible to find new sites from within the old version of Tapatalk. It's limited to whatever forums a user may already be logged into, or have found in the past and read as a guest. So... They are really twisting arms. I hate them, quite frankly.
Wow. Nice info. You're good at this.
So you can upload shots on those versions but can't add forums.
This Tapatalk is technically impressive, but not thought through for the end user.
I'm sure they took a lot of flak early on, and they changed a few things mostly for the sake of it, but it will have eased and we're stuck with this format.
For the AC forums it's still better than the Android Central app or the mobile website, but I am happiest when viewing the full site on a pc monitor at home.
Just today I had a problem with an old car so I joined a French car forum (only my 2nd). I couldn't choose a Username for it. It was given my Tapatalk account name which I dislike. Waiting for that site mods approval.
I also registered on the other Mobile Nations sites recently so I have to remove some or scroll down to Android Central every time I open.
Ah well, life gets tough when you get older and uglier.
