Tapatalk users chime in!

I keep getting asked to use Tapatalk when I log in from my phone or iPad. What are the pros and cons?

I bought Tapatalk, but I really don't like it, and never use it. The Cruise Critic app is better, IMO.

PROS:

Shows preview of pics so you know not to waste data by clicking on a thread with full-sized ones;

No signatures! No need to keep scrolling to pass posts with signatures that shout in oversized fonts for no good reason.

CONS:

Like most apps, much too easy to inadvertently subscribe/add to favorites/'like' with a stray touch of your pinkie;

No invisibility: will show the green dot when you are logged in even if set to invisible here on the website;

Main page has "most popular" subforums at the top before the alphabetical listing. Has never been any except RCI, Celebrity, NCL or Ask a Cruise Question. (I guess Carnival Corp. brands are not greasing any palms);

And now just started: ads not just at top or bottom of page but intermingled amongst the list of threads.

I tried it a few times but don't like it. I think it's the way that cc looks (the page set up).

I downloaded it and I have difficulty using it. I can easily respond to subscribed threads, but have difficulty finding other threads to read.

You can just add a tile to your homescreen on either device avoiding apps that run junk in the background and use battery life. Click on the tile and go straight to cc , no info given out or no need to join anything

Look at all the junk tapatalk wants to do on your device

I use it and love it! Works fine for me [emoji106]!

Tapatalk is ok but I only use it when I quickly want to post a picture without having to first upload it to a photo site. Problem is the pictures are sometimes too small to see and others are exactly right. Don't know why there is a difference.

Don't like tapatalk, tried it for a while, then deleted it

I like the participated thread option. It can be informative to bring you to threads most recently posted to.

I use it on my phone and find it quicker to navigate through posts. I was wondering if there is a way to customize the 4 icons that show on the main page but looks like tho is pre-set by Tapatalk?

Using it now! 😁 My tablet is a Kindle Fire, so message board apps tend to be limited.

It takes time to adjust, but it does fit my browsing style. And I'm one that loves being able to breeze over signatures and not have pictures take up the whole width of my screen.

Anyone else have problems with TapaTalk and/or the Forums android apps last night?:confused: They seem to be fine now!:)

Haven't tried this morning but I couldn't get in to TapaTalk on my Windows phone last night. Wouldn't load. But I also noticed that the CC website on my pc later on was also either very slow or 'page not found'. Are those the kind of errors you were getting?

Yup, thanks for the confirmation. ;)

This is what I do for all of the forums I'm involved in. Just creat a shortcut. Done.

How do you do this? There are a few tiles I go to regularly and now RCL is no longer one of the 4 defaults.

I just go to my menu (while on the site i want to add) on my phone and select "add shortcut". It puts a tile on my desktop.

I had some problems with the last CC update on my iPhone and contacted CC about it. They told me I had to contact Tapatalk since they run the app so you are using Tapatalk either way.

right now both are on my phone. don't use any of the other forums, so should i just delete Tapa Talk app and save the space on my phone?
