Have I said this before?   :smt002

Tapatalk somehow logged me out and I couldn't for the life of me remember or figure out how to log back in.  I tried another account, to which tapatalk somehow suggested forums I might like, and then, get this, automatically tried to register new accounts for me on the suggested forums without even asking me to do so.  WTF?

Hah!  The same thing happened to me!  I just recently had to upgrade the IOS (POS) of my phone for some other app that I needed to install for work.  And there was that Tapatalk thread recently, so I decided to upgrade it and give it another shot.    :smt011   Wasn't installed for 5 mins and I deleted that crap.  :smt003

I'll also add that I have yet to figure out how to remove the suggested forums from my list.  There are all sorts of discussions on the web on how to do so, but apparently all of these options are gone with the latest tapatalk updates.

I've never really had problems of this sort on tapatalk until I updated last week.  On Android as well ...

iPhone here. Tapatalk is a complete disaster now; so I dumped it.

I checked and I haven't loaded the current one. The reviews on play store absolutely hammer them for this update.
Don't think I'll update it now see where it is in a couple of weeks

Has anyone tried the alternatives out there?  I see only a few for iPhone, and a few for Android.  Even see something called SMF4iPhone, might give it a shot.  But from what I've see and read, no way will I use Tapatalk ever again.  FAIL. :smt013

I downloaded taptalk for the first time last week (I had been using browser). It somehow registered me for 3 other forums when I signed in to NCKA. Aside from that, I find the app to be clunky and non-intuitive.
