Why does the XDA app suck? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have bought the premium version the HD for tablet and no matter what device or Internet connection you have the app sucks. It is slow, constantly connecting to server, skips all around when scrolling through forums behaves oddly and just crashes every so often.
How can the site with arguably the best collection of devs, modders, hackers, designers and tech enthusiasts have such a low quality app? I'm assuming it is still based off tapatalk? As I don't use that app is it to blame for performance issues I'm genuinely just curious?

I'll have to agree with you. And the xda app has become buggier over the years. It's always been buggy but is at its worst now. I still use it.... frustrating. Premium version as well

It is funny how xda hosts so many developers but cannot make a good app.

Yep. App is terrible. Now I can't even quote the right person, or than them. It selects the post above it.

Never liked that app.

Like the carpenters house without any doors I guess

Just use tapatalk .
I think that's what the majority of the users here use.

You know we all peek or get peeked on while on our laptops, tablet or phones just to see what apps or programs they use ill sit at my student lounge while on xda and wonder if anyone around me know about xda developers.

Can't use google now, only have and ics rom
Google Now is amazing
That is rough since Google Now is absolutely the best one. I've used the other 3 before Google Now being Skyvi, Iris and AIVC (Alice) and out of those Skyvi was the best but I hate that it always was running in the background. Ever since Google Now I've uninstalled all 3.
Google now doesn't interact with you and talk to you

I dont see the utility of this app.. Why I should avoiding others from let them know I'm using the Web browser? It's a crime?

It is not a crime. The utility of this app is so no one knows what you are browsing, it's for privacy.
