Not getting any badges at all now for this app, but when I go into it there are literally dozens of repeat notifications as always. My mind boggles as to why the developers allow this to happen in the first place but more specifically why they never address these all too frequent issues in a timely manner nor communicate with the free and paying customers. Awful company.
Thanks for the update. I messaged them as well today but I don’t expect a response.
You never know, if we are very lucky, they might sort it by iOS 17.

Yes it is for me again now. Was unusable on both iPhone and iPad earlier but seems ok now. Ta.
Mine stopped working sometime Thursday & is still down.
Personally, not seeing much in the way of a problem. I switch back and forth between Tapatalk and macOS Safari, depending on where I am... but haven't noticed any slowdowns in quite a while, apart from some wonkiness with dark mode briefly Tuesday night.
Thanks for confirming. Still screwed here too. It does make you wonder what the hell they are playing at!
Not that I am aware of unfortunately.
I am using the website more now. Tapatalk is quite simply no longer fit for purpose and hasn’t been for month after month.

Notifications screwed again for anyone else?
Back to the old rigmarole of repeat notifications for threads that are hours old that I have already visited.
I’ve finally cancelled my auto renewal of the VIP subscription.

Mine is still being a biatch now! I get the badge but then nothing when I go in to the app.
Edit: or I will eventually get repeat after repeat…again!

Tapatalk appears to be misbehaving again. The main page is not updating to show new posts. Frustrating…
Sorry, didn’t know you had replied. Because Tapatalk is no longer sending any notifications for me I’m losing out on all new posts (and the main page too as you say). So I did a search for this one to come and comment and then saw your post.
As I have cancelled my renewal of VIP, I don’t suppose I have much right to bitch about this (far too often) absolute piece of **** software, but I will carry on doing so anyway LOL

Sadly, I don’t think there are any other options. But Tapatalk really is not fit for purpose anymore.
Sort of - use your browser. It's fully responsive and looks/works fine on mobile with the exception of not having push notifications when accessing via the web.
Tapatalk isn't hugely liked by many forum admins - we ditched it on my own forum due to worries about the unfettered access Tapatalk has to forum/user data, plus the lack of control over the app or monetisation. Responses from staff were so slow and the whole company seemed too vague about things.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much competition but I am surprised a site with Mac Rumors' clout doesn't have the funding/desire to get a custom-made app sorted.
As stated above, a major headache for forums has been the lack of push notifications on iOS (in Safari) which has stalled proper development of the forum via a browser, but this is supposed to hopefully - finally - be coming to iOS at some point. Then, accessing forums via browsers should give a similar experience to standalone app.
