Xda premium update. Thoughts - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

What's your thoughts on this new update. It's having a hard time loading my subscribe forums.

It's been working petty smooth for me. The update did say to clear your app data before updating. That might help.
And the ui is different, but it does look and feel more modern and it feels more smooth.

The new XDA app seems to use the same UI as Tapatalk 4. It's about time they got rid of that awful Gingerbread-inspired UI that the app used for faaaaaaar too long.

Even the free version of the XDA App upgraded the UI??

Does anyone else's app crash when they try and open the app through the notification bar?

You guys do know that the the xda app has always been the tapatalk app but just limited to one forum, right?
And @Joe0113, I called it over in the s3 forums you had asked something related and I said that as soon as the Tapatalk 4 app is worked out, the xda app would probably get updated since it's the exact same app

I would say that it's limited to one site rather than one forum, but yes, I'm aware
EDIT: the new version doesn't seem to play nicely with HTML. Bummer.

No, I would say it's limited to one forum site actually
And what do you mean doesn't play nice with html? As in links don't go to the app? I think that was stripped away because not even the old xda had that when Tapatalk 2 did

I see that you were able to underline a word in your post, whereas it wouldn't let me italicize a word in my previous post. Now it seems to be working. Weird.

Well I only use XDA on Tapatalk (don't really know of any other forum except Android Central, but I just use them for their main page to get news)... anyone actually like the XDA app over Tapatalk lol?

Well, since they're basically the same app, and you only use XDA on Tapatalk, why would you prefer Tapatalk over XDA? I actually prefer the new XDA app since I only use XDA and I wasnt able to find a 'thanks' option in Tapatalk. Otherwise they're functionally identical.

I just thought of Tapatalk as the Mercedes Benz of forum browsers lol.

I had some problems too with loading the subscribed forums after I updated. I just uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and all is good again. I tried both the tapatalk and this xda app, and honestly I love the xda app way better. IMHO. The investment in the xda pro app is deffinetly worth it.

I've emailed to developer in february. Installed two new versions for this period, but error still here.
the XDA app is just a limited version of the Tapatalk app.
For some reason the XDA version seems really unstable and FC's at the drop of a hat.
I think it is either based on older Tapatalk versions, or it relies on something that was removed to cripple it.
I bought the Tapatalk Pro app (worth the purchase) and haven't had an FC since.
Thanks again netstat sem to work on a7 just fine to bad I paid for xda also

The xda app is free, how did you end up paying for it?
premium is what I would say.
Yep premium in the market. At least it works on my phone

(Poll) Tapatalk 2 or xda premium [app]

I am going to get one of the apps and I want to know which is easier and more efficient.
Also which has better features?

I bought them both and they don`t differ that much. With tapatalk you can enter different forums and store them all. XDA can only be used for the xda forums afaik.

Solely interested in xda then go for xda app but if varied interest then think about tapatalk.
Not very difficult to choose from

Si usted le da sentido a continuación, obtener el respeto .. Mi mente joven que
Ya I was going to get tapatalk until I found the xda app and wondered if I was missing out on features, seeing as it's the official app. Thanks for the replies
Tapatalk is better because you can enter to diferents forums but, xda app is the best for this big forum :good:
depends on your usage, if you wanna control various forums from your device the tapatalk is the way. only xda? then xda premium app
They are both inefficient, outdated, battery draining piles of crap; sadly there's no alternative that I know of offering the same kind of features.
If you buy the xda app it monetarily supports this site.

I too own both, but since I also post at Android folrums and they re-enabled tapatalk support, I have to go with Tapatalk. Everything in one window.
I have Tapatalk and don't know about XDA premium. Is there anything XDA premium can do better than Tapatalk?

Not really no. Its made by Tapatalk, but just for XDA. Its tapatalk lite.
The XDA app allows you to see the XDA portal(newspage) and I haven't found a way to do that with tapatalk. From the top menu in the XDA app press more then news. Other than that its what everyone else says, for multiple forums, tapatalk, just for xda, then xda app.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
I think XDA Premium app is better for access to XDA, I have both because I prefer to have straight access to XDA which is the only forum I visit often. The XDA app is also good for easy access to the XDA portal, but since changing from a HTC Desire HD to a Samsung Galaxy S3 its easier and much better to use the main website to access the portal.

By the way, why is it so important to let the whole world know that one is using Tapatalk? I'm referring to the signatures like "sent from ... using ...".
Why do you even need an app you are using the Galaxy SIII man it's pretty much a computer in your pocket and has no issues loading the forum on its stock browser.

It's the default signature, clearly a sneaky tactic by the author to get some free advertising.

Because it's forcing something that's supposed to be up to the developers to enable it. If it's not enabled, it's probably for a reason.

Use the old Xda prem App. It loads forums faster and is way smoother. I'm still using version 1.1.2.

Let me guess, all you lagaholics are rooted/custom rom'd. Unrooted/stock/latest rev = xda smooth as iPhone and user (me) very happy.. almost scared to ota to key lime when the time comes.

I noticed the same thing with the new app. I am sure it will get fixed once they kniw about it (if they dont already). Maybe there is a xda forum post about the app to let them know/see if it has already been brought to their attention.

XDA App? KitKat

is it me or is the XDA app a little buggy since the KK upgrade?
Mine never highlights the correct message and force closes a bit.
I actually just restored my tab to so its a brand new install.
Not a huge deal but just wondering if the app was bing updated or its just something with my tablet.
thanks

The free version of the paid version? I've got the paid version and it doesn't seem to work right, even on my Xperia Miro running 4.0.4.
For me the problems started already on 4.3, but they continue on 4.4

It does need fixed, maybe everyone needs to submit feedback/report the bugs. I definitely recommend tapatalk though as it's just better and is getting updated. I don't follow a load of forums either, just use it specifically for xda.
