Tapatalk difficulties

My Tapatalk app has been very finicky lately. It only updates every few hours and I'm forced to use the browser of my iPhone to access TRF. I'm growing extremely frustrated. Has anyone else faced this issue or knows of a remedy??

Help!! I need my TRF fix!!

I was unable to load threads awhile ago. It would refresh the main forum page, but when I tried to view a thread it had problems.

I also gave up on tapatalk shortly after downloading it a couple months ago. Now I only open it to upload photos, otherwise I use my iPhone browser as well.

Was it running smooth before? I just assumed it was crap from the get go...

It works every so often. There is no rhyme or reason to how or when it works or goes down.

Sometimes you need to isolate the source of the problem if you're having issues with Tapatalk. Because there is a mobile side (your device) and a server side (the target forum's device) - users can experience varying levels of problems.

If it gives you trouble on TRF and other forum sites, the odds are your App or device is the problem. Try a reset of the device, or re-installing the App.

If it only gives you trouble on TRF (and other sites work OK), then patience is your only cure because the server side is the problem.

I too am suffering with intermittent problems.

Basically won't load any forum pages so have to resort back to web based site.

I enjoy using the iPhone option when using my mobile device, it can also be used on any Android phone/tablet also. It is found at the bottom left of the page on TRF, try it.


Couple of screen shots to help locating it. (It is not that clear because of the white background but there are two screen shots of the bottom left of my screen.

Looks like this on my Nexus 5.
