I am a new registered user and every time I want to post something a pop-up message prevents me to do it, it says something about spam and blablabla, but the thing that concers me is that it says I cant post outside links but and not attaching any link to my message :( it is just a normal message. Crazy app!!!

App was perfect on the old layout before everything got updated. App now freezes for 5 seconds at a time, threads load slowly, all around performance and just disappeared now. Rolling back to when the app used to work.

M70%
by M####:

Subscriptions don't show. Can't tell which threads are read or unread when I can get subscribed threads to work intermittently. Less information density. Pretty sad for an app designed for a community of devs...

Good application to browse my favorite mobile dev forum. The few problem I have seens in previous version seems to be fixed. I will keep one eye on it. Sent from the app is there, I like it. I will have a look further, I just installed the last version today.

On my old device it just tries loading a bunch, even froze my phone the one time. Would love to see it work well on both low and higher end devices

M70%
by M####:

I don't like the new update at all. Can't just go to a topic you keep a eye on then click back to the device instead have to go through all forums to find the device your interested in

But this app Sticks soooooo bad ... and it has for years I use them on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Note 4 Note 5 Note7 Note 10.1 Note 12.2 and every single one of them with this app sticks. I recently tried XDA labs and it works perfect

I just got the app and tried to post something to the moto x sub channel and it says I can't till I post 10 things. How am I supposed to post 10 things if it won't let me?

Have been using this site and app to get my information for my Android cellys. Great forums, great selection of phones/tablets, and all the useful info you need. Keep up the great work!

F70%
by F####:

All of a sudden I can't click on links from threads. For an app that I paid for back in the day I would expect some continued support XDA. Please fix before retiring this app. I'm not paying money for premium no ads again.

Y70%
by Y####:

Don't when it was implemented but dislike the split screen navigation. Have the screen to select thread and other half to read. What genius thought let me use half my screen to do each task separately?

M70%
by M####:

But still takes some time to load and slows down just.. And no subscription problem as other users are saying and better than xda labs till now.

M70%
by M####:

Whats up with that... was crashing all the time before I cleared data. That would have been good to know before taking the update.

Q70%
by Q####:

Thank you, finally this app has been updated. I paid for this app years ago and patiently (not really) waiting for a UI overhaul and bug fixes and finally it seems like they came thru. Just the UI alone has won me over.

by M####:

Since the jump to version 5 I've had a much better time with the app, still a little slow to load and doesn't seem to consistently open to my subscriptions but other than that it's great!

H70%
by H####:

I only really use Tapatalk these days with XDA, and Tapatalk constantly infuriates me as they seem to change the design of their app every week. This seems lightweight enough and responsive to be a good replacement.

(12/16/15)-Used to work great, now it don't work at all. I left it hanging on the start up screen for 10 minutes then I gave up since they obviously broke it. (Alcatel idol 3). (2/27/16)- still doesn't work guys, are you serious. (4/12/16)- well you guys finally put an effort in on this and not labs, and I'm happy with it thanks guys.

While graphically gorgeously revamped, since update I've noticed a problem. Even though read, the subscribed forums and threads always show up with bold letters as I've not read them. Can you address this issue?

E70%
by E####:

Cannot open links from searches. Always claims the thread is deleted. If that isn't enough, it crashes when using links that is not from a search. Using Android 6.0.1

Why cannot I post or reply a comment. It says something like 10 posts. What is that. Please clarify

by C####:

Please re-add the ability to view the "All Forums" in alphabetical order. Takes forever to find a device in that section while they are all scrambled up.

Who wouldn't love this app. So many ways to brick your phone or tablet and fortunately a massive community of helpful folk who can help you unbrick it again.

This is a great app. But why take away the shortcut feature. Am i missing something, how do i create a shortcut to the phone that i want to go directly to as on the previous version, or how do i roll the update back? Please add in the shortcut feature.

Long time XDA member. The app used to be great. Now, no widgets and terrible interface. WHY??? You took a useful daily tool and turned into useless trash.

M70%
by M####:

Been a proud xda member for years now. It was From being there that I learned how to root and flash roms. It's packed with information and resources related to my device and so much more. Love it. It's my go-to on my how-to. You all should check it out.

Just like the title says, subscribe to some forums and there will always have one or two disappear later. Annoying as hell

Whenever I search anything....it always says no results found

Should of left well alone it was much better before, the premium version for 4.0+ constant bug outs, freezing unable to read some threads due to the colours used.

Even with the most recent update the app isn't no better... Most the time it never shows what you're subscribed to... Only thing that's really changed it the look...

K70%
by K####:

Since last update, all subscriptions are not coming up, not that it worked correctly before either. Threads or topics. Cleared data and cache. Amazed at how poorly this app has been. A paid app for a forum of phone developers.......oh well.

Great update guys been waiting for an update on the ui everything is great only gripe is notifications is a hit or miss sometimes I get notifications and sometimes I don't. Overall great update. Hard to choose between this an XDA LABS!

The "Push notifications" system doesn't work. Whenever someone posts a new comment, I don't get a notification. I'll rate it 5 ⭐ when this bug is fixed.

Problem still persists even after years with different phones. At first launch from closed app . nothing loads only when you try the second time it does.

I was able to use the app at first but then it just started force closing all the time

I just can't navigate through the new updated version. Search function is awful and I am going on the web site because this app is useless.

K70%
by K####:

The new update sucks balls. You cannot REPLY to a thread or a post!!!! How can I interact if this function is not possible come on XDA get your act together. Also subscribed threads are not showing up either. I've even clicked on a forum to subscribe and nothing shows up. I mean come on this is ridiculous we paid for this app it was great before the update. LIKE I SAID GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!
