[Android Apps and Games] MP99:
Agreed - it's shocking what Tapatalk have done with their latest release. The reviews are choked with one-star reviews on it.

I'm trying FF today. It looks good, but I'm having a few issues / how-do-I's:-

1) If I go to the list of unread threads, I can long-press to get an option to subscribe, but I don't know if I want to subscribe until I've read it.

Am I missing an option inside the thread to subscribe to it?

Obviously, when I come out of the thread with the back button, it disappears from the display, so then isn't available to subscribe to.

1a) One thing I'd love that Tt doesnt have - a "take me back to the thread I was just in, I didn't mean to leave it". (This is mostly useful when in "unread" views, where the option to just select the same thread again disappears when you come out.)

2) Is there a way to see which threads I'm subscribed to from the unread view? (This could use the same bold / not bold highlighting that you use elsewhere for read / unread, perhaps?)

3) I would like a "subscribed unread" view.

Until then, having the unread threads highlighted is an OK alternative, but the difference between read & unread doesn't look very much. There seem to be options in the settings to change these, but when I tap them nothing happens.

3a) I would also love an "unread & not-subscribed" view, which would be a read improvement over what Tt offers.

I subscribe to any threads I'm interested in. When I open the forum, I work through those first. Then go into "unread" solely to see if there are any interesting new threads, and subscribe to them if they seem good.

4) When I searched whilst displaying a thread, it searched across all threads. Unless / until you implement in-thread searching, can you please remove the search icon when displaying a thread?

5) There doesn't seem to be a way to display images full-screen? (When I tap, I just get a save option, IIRC?) I wouldn't mind if this just invoked my photo app (I use QuickPic), but the Tt option that lets you scroll through the images on a post is nice, also.

6) Bug report - at one point I opened a thread which took me to page 5. The page was blank, because the thread contained only 4 pages.

It's possible the thread was shortened before I clicked it - this forum is subject to some heavy moderation.

(I can't link to this - it's in a paid portion of that forum.)

7) Haven't been using long, but the action of the back button seems confusing - seems it's more like the back button in a browser (goes back through the previous views), when I expect "back" in an app to always step up to the next highest level.

8) Tt's option to "open this thread in browser" can be very useful if you want to do something that Tt doesn't support.

9) Is there a way to see where a particular thread sits in the hierarchy whilst you are reading it (or in the subscribed / unread sections)?

The forum I want to browse (forum.nasaspaceflight.com) has paid & free sections. The thread title sometimes does not indicate that the content is restricted, which makes it hard not to leak the info into the open sections. In Tt I can tap the thread title (whilst reading a thread) to see which sub-forums it's in (eg restricted section / SpaceX restricted section).

Stuff I really liked vs Tt:-

1) Generally, a good clean approach to fitting as much on screen as possible.

2) I hated it when Tt stated truncating the quoting in threads. Nice to see that you don't.

3) Tt seems to only display attached images, showing a "broken" icon for linked images. I didn't notice this as an issue in the usage I've done so far (but I haven't browsed extensively, as yet).

Deal breakers for me:-

1) I have thousands of notes stored on Evernote, and pictures saved on Dropbox, that I have saved out of forums via the "share" option. I can't start using new forum software if it doesn't offer sharing as an option.

(I have strong views on how this should operate. Let me know if you want more feedback on this, and I'll bore you for hours. Well, minutes, anyway.)

2) Edit: Another desperate plea. I'm reading a thread, the content doesn't quite fit the width of the screen, I tip over into landscape view - and the right half of the screen is taken up with some fluff that I don't care about instead of displaying the content wider.

It's not just you - this enrages me in every app under the Sun. But if there's a way to turn it off in the profile?

(This shouldn't really be under "deal breakers", but I just loath it so much...)

Overall view - very promising. Feels like you're getting the fundamentals right for me. Still missing some function, but I suspect that's just where you are on the development cycle.

I'll be keeping this on my tablet, and look forward to using this. It looks like it's not far off something I could use as my daily driver.

Cheers, Martin
