Good points:
I actually like the page slider, its handy.
i like the search facility.
i like users online.
i like the interface in theory - it's similar to google mail interface, and todoist web app, and if it worked well it would be really good.

bugs/bad points:
1. In latest threads view for example, i can't see an obvious way to refresh.


2.again, in latest view for example, as you are scrolling through the threads, it sometimes jumps - even if you scroll it very slowly and deliberately, it jumps, as if its trying to mimick momentum.


3. Quite often, when you are looking at latest threads for example and you try and select a thread to view the posts, it just displays the loading icon, but it does not enter the thread, it just loads continuously. If you try and click the thread again, it shows the sliding effect as if its going to change to the post view, but it simple returns to the same latest threads list.
I have documented this happening on several occasions, and also taken screenshots.

i am using iPhone 5, latest iOS.
 
A couple of things I noticed are that when I log in to look at my subscribed threads (granted I have a couple hundred lol) it does not display the majority of them-- didn't count how many it does show. Also if I decide to back out out of subscribed threads and try to get back to main menu, it takes me back to the 'Discover' menu and the normal button in the left corner is no longer available, just an arrow which is unresponsive; I am left at the discover menu. My only option is to completely close the app and re-launch.

The app has a nice beginning but is missing some functionality I have grown accustomed to. I will remain patient and go through the growing pains, and will be happy once it is complete.

Thanks

Thanks, Great Feedback!!!

In response to the bugs:
1. I will get a refresh button added to the list up new features - really good catch.

2. Can you send any video of this to the email I PM you and I will open a ticket for the Devs?

3. Also can you send me this info to share with the Dev Team?

Thanks again and we will continue to improve with your valuable feedback.

Downloaded it for iOS.

Up to now I definitely preferred Tapatalk, but it's probably unfair to make a judgement so soon. As others have mentioned it does seem pretty slow/buggy at times (the first time I loaded it settings crashed and I had to close the app and re-open it).

Anyway, can't complain, at least we have an app again :)

Thanks, we launched a few weeks back and will be adding many new features and squashing bugs like an Orkin man.

Please provide any other feedback or bugs and I will have them addressed ASAP.

I appreciate the feedback. Can you open a support ticket via our site, I am unable to post since I am a Noob.
 
Same here the nexus 4 is having a hard time coping with it.
But since its in development i guess i'll wait a few more months.

Without having able to access BHW via Tapatalk I have been spending way less time here than usual. It is just that I prefer browsing the forum via Tapatalk to computer because of the quick and easy navigation.

Seeing that a new application was released I quickly downloaded it hoping that it would be like Tapatalk. Unfortunately, Topify is very laggy, the scrolling is just terrible and navigating through the forums is inconvenient.

With Tapatalk it is so easy to navigate and read the forums and, in my opinion, it is the best forum application on the market. Sorry, Topify doesn't stand a chance against Tapatalk.

Keep in mind I am using a high end device (Nexus 4) and if an app lags like that, it a big no from me!
Really, I wish you had left Tapatalk as it was.

Thank you. Now I can read latest post. But I can't give thank to other people, is this function not available in topify?

Hello Nickcookies, as of right now it is not a feature however I will add it to the suggestions for future development.

Thanks!

Thank you for the understanding Gnome,

We released an update for the Droid earlier this week which should address many of your issues. Check it out and post feedback here or send in a ticket through our website. I will rely the info to the Dev Team.
 
another dislike for topi and missing tapatalk. Not getting on with the app and now tapatalk is gone, it's sadly likely i'll stop browsing and reading so much out and about :(
 
So, only hi tech devices are going to enjoy BHW on mobile? :( My mobile can handle Taptalk and I'm sure Topify too but Google Play said my mobile is not compatible.
 
I was wondering why tapatalk wasn't working!
I will download now.
 
It's great to have the new app supported so closely. It makes it a much better prospect.

the_pun, pm sent.

'different' i guess. All my other forums operate with tapa so i'm so use to logging in, using it and navigating around with speed. Didn't want to download a different app for each forum

Hello Bacchiato, what model and software are you using?

My Review: Topify is slow.

Topify is very slow, Buggy, Full of Slowness really.

I'm deleting Topify. My Friend himself own a forum and he runs Tapatalk. Tapatalk 4 is AWESOME.

@Owner of the BHW: You must have waited for Tapatalk 4. Please its a serious request. It's your wish to keep or remove Topify. But atleast give us TAPATALK Access back.

A user must have his option to run on which app they want. Just like currently we have opted to use Chrome / Firefox or any other to run BHW on PC or Laptops.
