[Resolved] Tapatalk v XDA App - General Questions and Answers

Other than Tapatalk having the capability to be used for multiple forums and xda only for, well, the xda forums, are there any other differences between the two apps? For instance, is the layout the same?

Yea the layout is pretty much the same. But the xda app has ads in it, and I don't like ads do I bought tapatalk and disabled the ads.

That answered my question. Thank you for your speedy response and may you and your family enjoy a happy Thanksgiving.

You too bro. Have a good thanksgiving!

Just to clarify, there's no reason to use the XDA app if we've bought Tapatalk, correct?
I just came here looking to make sure before I remove the XDA app.

[Q] Tapatalk vs XDA Premium App

What are the differences?
Sent from my unrooted DroidX using XDA App
Hard to say, why don't you just try both and keep the one you like most ?
I haven't heard of any differences between the stand alone XDA app and the access provided from Tapatalk. Tapatalk has access to a bunch of other forums though, that'd be the main difference between the two. As for, specifically, XDA access - I haven't heard anything different / missing between the two.

^What he said
XDA Premium is $1, and is actually based on Tapatalk?
Tapatalk is about $3 and works with multiple forum sites.
The free Tapatalk RO (read-only) is no longer available in the Market.

Yes, but I think the question is is there any functional difference between Tapatalk and the XDA Premium app other than the color? I have both, I am just curious.

Swiftkey X free on Amazon appstore.

Just a heads up for everyone. Todays free app is Swiftkey X which is normally $3.99. I know this should've went in themes and apps but thought more people would benefit from it here. Mods feel free to move it.

Just downloaded it!
I was upset when I missed the discounted price last week, now I got it free. Awesome!
Love this keyboard...
Get SwiftKey X from the Amazon Appstore...I did. Check it out - http://amzn.to/oMk0Kj
Thanks for the heads up

Darn it! I was about to post it and i saw you beat me to it
What's the big deal with it? I can't say I have any issues with the stock keyboard, except placement for some things, but I'm used to the iPhone.
Only if i could expand the spacebar.
Otherwise good keyboard with good predictions

I will report back after a fair trial. I did use the SwiftKey beta for a day or two a while back. I'll try to give this a fair shake.
I suppose it's pretty good for two-handed texting, but Swype is far better for one handed texting.. which is what I do 95% of the time. So I'll be sticking with Swype - the 3.0 version themed with a white skin from the Ninja rom is awesome.

You can still download it but it was free yesterday. Not today. And it's the Amazon App Store. At Amazon.
Is the free stuff in amazon not forever? I mean, when in stated free, that means it just a trial?

It's free for a day. Not a trial. It's a purchase that Amazon subsidizes. I have obtained several usually paid apps since they started this "Free Today" thing. I get updates for the Apps just as if I had forked over the mula for them.

It is the same concept as giveawayoftheday.com for PC, but better because you get free updates.

xda on mobile so slowwww

Xda great butttt. Might be the slowest site on the net from my phone. Once in awhile pages load ok buttt. I can watch a half hour show faster than load 1 page here.
Tapatalk, butter smooth.

Why use the website when there is such a brilliant app available - even better if you actually contribute by buying the paid version.
blame sprint.
Are you seriously accessing the site from your mobile browser rather than using the Tapatalk app?

Posting warez links is against the rules of xda. And to be honest posting the link to go and get the xda premium app for free on xda is just dumb...thread cleaned

it must be intentionally slow so you buy the app.
other sites are fine on the phone.

No, you don't NEED to buy. I paid for the app in order to help support XDA as it has given so much to me.
Sent from the darkest corners of my mind.
you could just use opera mini if you dont want to use tapatalk. xda loads very fast with that browser

Your opinion please?

Just wondering if the tapatalk app is really worth getting if xda is the only forum I visit? Should I be on other forums as well, even though they all seem to link back here for everything?
Stupid I know lol but curiosity got the better of me.

Continue using the xda app. Its better IMO
I consider Tapatalk one of my must have apps, but I'm also a forum junky. I'm a member of about a half dozen I visit daily, plus one I run.

they're almost the same imo, but XDA the app is much easier to navigate
Just like everyone else has said, if you use a lot of different forums then tapatalk is great!
If you just use XDA, then by all means use the XDA app, it's much better.
