[I didn't read about the latest changes so please be gentle with me
since I would like to express my opinion and help making this app the best forum app.]
------------------------------------------
Things that I miss from Tapatalk
and I would like Topify to have too:
------------------------------------------
1. This is a forum app and it's prime factor is to type, the fact that I can't type horizontally IS KILLING ME.
2. I miss the Thanks button. What if I like something so much and can't thank the OP? That's unfair to the OP that wasted his time to help.
90% of the time I will forget to log in from my pc to look for the thread and thank him. I am pretty sure most people won't bother to do this since the "thank" mood
goes off pretty quickly.
3. I can't find a way to disable the "posted from Notify" message (but I blame myself for not looking too much to fix it - I am sure there's a way).
4. Stability. While I scroll down it keeps jumping up and down. Sometimes some threads can't be loaded and I fix this by clearing its cache.
Well that's the most crucial things that came to my mind,
This app is generally better than tapatalk - especially in the Interface field - but there are some major changes that need
to be made.
If notify can perform as good as its Interface then it would be the best forum app.
Just my friendly 2 cents.

I reinstalled, but still the same result. Is there any chance of going back to Tapatalk or maybe offering both Tapatalk and Topify. I largely was reading the forum on my phone, but now I barely read the forum any more at all. I rarely have time to be in front of a computer.

To be honest, I'm still not using topify either. I use bhw 90% on iPhone, and have to use safari now.
the main issue is the speed and responsiveness which is no where near fast enough.
having said that I still have the app installed and I still think it has a future, it just needs a little bit more work.
i think everyone should get on board a bit more though - how often do you get the chance to work with the developers on a flowering product?

Thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate it. We are dedicated to working with forum owners and users to continuously improve the App. We are releasing updates every Thursday addressing the feedback from you guys.
1. We are working on this currently, we had issues with android formatting so had to lock it portrait for now.
2. Working on integrating the Like/Thanks option into the App as I type - I noted your feedback in the ticket for the Developers
3. I opened a ticket to add this as a feature in an upcoming release - good catch.
4. Can you provide device, software version, and steps so I can try to recreate or diagnose?
Thanks again and looking forward to working with you guys to add new features and squash bugs.

Just a reminder all Bugs, feeedback, suggestions, and screen shots can be sent to me at support at Topify . com
the feature that I miss from tapatalk is how it remembered where I left off in threads. For example I start reading a thread that is 20 pages long, I stop reading on page 8 and go read a different thread. Later I go back to finish reading the long thread tapatalk would bring me back to page 8 where I left off. This was also great because if I hadn't checked a thread in a few days tapatalk would bring me to the last page I've read but with this app it starts on page 1 and I must guess what page I left off on.
Also this app feels slow. I'm using a Samsung S4

Hi, I'm sorry for being a bit rude. I didn't know that this is a community driven app. Then I will accept little setbacks.
The ID problem repeats randomly so I can't help much with it.
I disagree what you said about older phones; Any phone with 720p display and 1GB ram with JB should be able to run any programs available.
As I write this reply on topify I have noticed that it can't be rotated vertically and scrolling the message is painful. The text area is too small and space is being wasted on buttons and the post reply bar is useless.

FYI - we have addressed this issue and it should be live this Thursday 7/25. The Text box will now auto scroll/expand with longer messages.
Thanks for the feedback!

I have to say, it's definitely getting much better.
I am trying it now and it seems much more responsive.
I see you have implemented a lot of feature requests as well. Spot on.
One thing that still frustrates me is when you swipe your finger up, for example to scroll through the list of latest topics, even if you deliberately stop your finger still before lifting it off the screen, the items will then continue to scroll, mimicking a momentum, when really, if you stopped your finger still, the page should have stopped still.
This bug means that you can never get the item to stop where you desire.
That's on iPhone 5. Anyone else seeing that?

Thanks, we have been listening to you guys.
I will play around with the swipe issue and try to recreate it. I am not seeing it on my 4Gs or Droid phones but I will snag a iPhone5 from the Developers.

It gets the job done, but a "thanks" button would be nice to have.Nice to see that the developers care about user feedback.

Thank you for the kind words.
We are working on the "thanks" feature and we are releasing a new update every Thursday. I will let you know when it is ready for production.

My 2 cents. Please take all the features of tapitalk and put them in topify. Then you will have a hit.

LOL - Thanks, our goal is to be better. We already have some features that TapaTalk does not, Aviary photo editing, Chat style PM's, and Forum Cover Images. Working on adding a lot more features in the next few months, in fact we are doing weekly product releases/updates.
