I use it for about 10 forums. Here's what the dark theme looks like.

It's an app for multiple forums. It's easy to use and has no ads. You can make the font bigger and have a dark theme.

I really like the app. I've used it for a couple of years. I use the light theme most of the day. Sometimes in the evening I'll switch to the dark theme. Here's the light theme.

What version are you running? I'm running the latest official update and mine hasn't looked like that for months.

I pretty much exclusively use Tapatalk for my forum needs. I've bought it for Blackberry, Android, Windows Phone, iPad, iPhone, and Kindle. That's why they let me into the beta program way back. It became so stable that I wasn't really providing any feedback anymore and was eventually removed from the program.

Maybe it's phone specific too. I have a 6 Plus.

Mine is the regular 6. It's probably optimized for the screen size? I know it looks a little different on my Mini 3.

Seems more like a different app layout completely for the 6 Plus.

A couple updates ago I also lost the option to reorder my forums.

Yeah, that's completely different! It's different from Mini 3 too. Hmm.

I have not tried reordering my forums. Wonder if it'll let me.

It's probably there somewhere, I actually just tried again and found out I can rearrange my forums again. Mine changed from a long press to having to click on the little down arrow I have beside all my forums.

Around the end of 2014 they borked the app up pretty good. I managed to freeze time and capture v 3.2.1, which I continue to run. I really don't care for the versions after the one.

V3.2.1 still does that quite nicely.

It doesn't have any broken features or try to push you to update by not letting you access the app?

Not sure about broken features. It works flawlessly for me. There was a post about how to hack the plist file to prevent updates... Basically it gives the app a bogus version number so it doesn't find a match in the App Store update routine. Like magic.

I agree they messed the app up at the end of 2014, and it was pretty bad for a few months. I'm really pleased though with the latest betas. I just installed the latest one tonight.

Glad to hear that, but it's not a risk that I'm willing to take.
