XDA PREMIUM app is garbage! - Android Apps and Games

When viewing a topic and hitting return arrow it closes to my home screen, not to the section I was in.
Replying to a topic 6 times out of 10 freezes it and "Unfortunately XDA Premium has stopped"
Cleared data, uninstalled and reinstalled, tried everything...
Anyone else having these issues??

Just use the official tapatalk app... The xda app is based off that anyways...

It's sucked for many months now. I've abandoned it for Tapatalk and all is well. There should be refunds for people who wasted money on that app, since actually fixing the problems doesn't seem to be an option.

Have you updated to the latest version? The latest version doesn't close when return key is pressed.

Isn't the official app just a way of supporting XDA? Yeah, tapatalk is probably better because it'll be the most up to date. So buy both- one for XDA, one for yourself.

Never had a crash

Never had a problem with it and love the feature to create shortcuts on my home page to certain threads.

Yes, the official XDA app is just to support XDA. It's based on and maintained by Tapatalk, and XDA paid Tapatalk a little bit of coin for this. It's a service Tapatalk does, you can look it up.
By far the best thing to do is to simply run Tapatalk. If XDA is the only forum you manage (as it is for me) take the Tapatalk shortcut off your home screen. Add a shortcut, to a Tapatalk forum, then choose XDA. Now you basically have the XDA app. But it's the latest Tapatalk, it's just a shortcut to the XDA forum. Icon is better, too (yellow "xda" on brown background).
If you want to give XDA your charity, I'm sure there are better ways of doing that.

I too am experiencing this issue. It happens to me when I try to log in. So the option to "Log out" is not really available to me. And ever since I upgraded to XDA premium all this started happening. Oh ya also whenever i choose to close a particular thread, instead of going back to all the topics it goes all the way back to the original boot screen for the app and starts up all over...
Any ideas
Am signed in now, but still taking me all the way back to boot screen when closing a thread.

I just started using the new XDA premium app and i cant create the XDA shortcuts.
create shortcut>select a fourm> then nothing happens!
So, am getting kinda upset here... Is no one else experiencing problems with XDA app? Are we posting in wrong place? Cause from what I have seen of the forum as a whole people are usually pretty quick to reply, or direct you to an answer. I am getting more and more fed up with this app by the day. Can't close threads without taking me back to app boot up. Its killing my data. No internet at house temporarily. So it is major issue for me right now. Very disappointed in this app right now. Please help, someone.

What happens when you long press on a post? Do you get the error? Or a submenu giving you options on posting? Let me know, and I will try and be of help. I'm still learning the app's features. Ok? Thanks!

My issue does not have to do with adding shortcuts or favorites. I open a thread to read the posts and when I am done and want to go back, or close the thread it reboots the app....any ideas, help would be great.

i can confirm drive link works on vzw sg3. installed from samsungapps and work fine.
I think this is the worst "driving mode" app I have ever had the displeasure of using. First of all, it is FAR from intuitive, making you sift through several menus before reaching the shortcuts you want, instead of having the main screen. Plus, they put ones there that are dumb and you can't remove. Instead, they fill up the main screen with weather which, since I have eyes, I can look outside my car and see. Secondly, it is locked into landscape mode, which is horrible since for navigation, you want it in portrait, so you can see more of the road ahead not to the sides. Thirdly, it acts as a normal app, in that when you press home, it goes back to the homescreen. You have to rely on the onscreen horribly placed buttons. If you want a decent one, get Google Car Home. It would be easier to just use my phone normally than use this.

XDA App issues

Quite simply, is anyone else having issues with the app? I'm talking about the Play Store app, not through Tapatalk. Probably been almost a week it seems very goofy. Every other app on my phone works fine. Android Central works flawless (in comparison) but not XDA
Just trying to see if I'm not alone.

See I guessed the same thing and it still doesn't work for me. I nailed down too that one specific message in my PM box will FC the app. Weird. I had to go on my laptop to check and delete it. Online works perfect but the app has just been strange lately. At least for the most part the forum loads and I don't get FC issues but issues still persist.
I'm enjoying this community here so much I check often, sucks when the app is malfunctioning.

For those having issues accessing their pm box, what I usually do is go to my profile the my posts and then click on a post (any). Then back out then got to pm box. Usually works. I know it's ridiculous to have to that but it's a work around. It may not work for everyone but I hardly ever have force closes that way. Just fyi.

A lot of issues with the XDA App

Hey folks. Maybe there is a place where this thread would belong I'm not sure as honestly the XDA has always worked for me. Lately that is not the case. I'm having all manner of issues with the app both on my phone and tablet. Every time I try to quote someone the app force closes. Also my "participated" list doesn't seem to update properly..

I had the xda premium app. It was running really slow for the past day or so. Pages not loading, really slow to post responses etc. Then I tried tapatalk, realized it was the same look as the premium app and I still had issues. But today it was working fine, back to normal. I read somewhere that there were some issues but they should be fixed now

I could be wrong but I think the XDA app is a paid tapatalk application. They let you buy and unbrand it for use for a price.
This also keeps happening even when I am in a thread just randomly pops up. I hate that my participated list won't update. I have to go to each thread and find my posts individually.. Very annoying.
I don't remember when this started happening. I don't remember an update that caused it..
