Tapatalk HD for Android - Version 0.2 - Download and Feedback

Discussion in 'Tapatalk HD for Android' started by winter, Oct 8, 2012.

    Here you go the first public preview of HD on Android. It works on ICS 4.0+ tablets. This app has been mostly developed on a 7" tablet so is more or less optimized for that screensize. If it looks strange on your device, make sure you take and post the screenshots. Some other highlights and outstanding issues / features:

    - No moderation and search but will be included in next update or two
    - Still working on the UI to improve the screen real estate and experience - it still need work
    - Editor still need work
    - Added a experimental "Gallery" feature which works on some popular forums.
    - Support Tapatalk ID

    Please do let us know if you have any issues and collectively we can improve the app. Please be noted that this is a separate app that can work alongside with your current purchase.

    Lastly, we will upgrade the Tapatalk ID to VIP status among some of you (that has access to all our in-app purchase) to thank you for the constructive feedback you have provided to make this beta program successful.

    Start to feel that the font is a little too big for the screen. The scheme how things are shown and listed is greate, but I think that title and last post incerpt should be a little closer from each other, I don't know, and a font a little smaller, just a little, so more posts can be acomodated on the left list.

    That's just a tought. Actually, it would be greate if we could choose that ;)

    Liking it so far, no issues to report on my 10" ThinkPad Tablet. (Android 4.0.3, DPI set to 140)

    One thing I may change however is the share button...I had no clue what it was until I hit it. I think the standard Android graphic would be better.

    I agree on the font being a bit too big. We can make it smaller. Column on the left could be narrower too. First bug I encountered on my end using a nexus 7 is that when I enter Tapatalk forum, it doesn't show this thread as part of my participated threads. Unless of course it really shouldn't show. Nevertheless, the app is a breather from the conventional one.

    Nice on my Nexus 7. I will further test it as soon as I have time to, just had a quick drive trough.

    The "image preview" for topics is nice but a bit confusing at first, one can't understand what those are. I sorely miss portrait mode (why isn't it there?), and I find messy the navigation within forums (no clear way to just navigate "up", the up icon in the action bar just goes to the list of accounts). There is no menu, either legacy nor in the action bar, to perform basic tasks like marking stuff as read (also, why has everything all of a sudden became unread?).
    I know this is beta and you need to work on it, guys, now you got me waiting for more feature-complete versions, because this is just a little more than a demo viewer... Keep it up thou, it's a much needed and appreciated update. Hope you'll bring the phone version UI up to date as well, it's become a bit stiffy.

    Okay, got some bug reports for you winter :-D

    #1:
    When signing into an account (synced with Tapatalk ID), it grants access. However, if I press the back button, returning to the accounts Window, I am not signed in. I must re-sign in.

    Solution found:
    Exiting out of the app, and re-opening it. My login is then stored.

    #2:
    When accessing a forum, which I am signed into, it says logging in, rather than receiving from server. Not sure if this was intended or not.

    Screen:
    uploadfromtaptalk1349704495827.jpg

    #3:
    This release still has the image upload bug, where the upload is displayed as 100%,but not its true progress.

    #4:
    Not too many settings/ui settings.

    Screen:
    uploadfromtaptalk1349704588918.jpg

    #5:
    Rather than a "mark forum as read" button, the text is "markread".
    Rather than a "submit post", the text is "SubmitReply".
    Rather than a "upload image" button, the text is "imgButton".
    Rather than a "url" button, the text is "urlButton".
    Rather than a "smilies" button, the text is "SmileButton".

    #6:
    It seems to load slower than the original Tapatalk forum app.

    Hope I get that VIP! :-D

    Just started using it. Noticed 2 things right off:

    1) There is no visual indication of unread topics.
    2) I got "stuck" trying to navigate back to the message list for *this* forum after logging in. I had to back out of the app and go back in.

    I'm using a cheap Polaroid tablet for this test and it seems pretty responsive.

    Now I'm also seeing the threads in this forum 2x each.

    Can't see the option to turn on and off the PM/Topic Notification for particular forums.

    Would like to see more customisable GUI settings like the mobile app. ie Dark Mode, Display Style, Font Size, Show Avatar

    Edit: Using an Acer Iconia A500 with ICS 4.0.3
