    Anyone else running this yet?

    I downloaded the beta a couple of days ago and so far it kind of kicks some ass.

    Favorite new feature is the swipe ability to go backwards/forwards to different thread pages.

    I downloaded it since I see so many people with that tag at the end of their post. It's nice, and easier to use than the TGG app, although TGG app has the news tab which is nice. I'll probably use it here and there, but overall it's nothing special.

    Free, because it's a beta. There are bugs. When you open the app after you left it previously, the thread you were in will clock forever. You have to back out and refresh.

    Some good new features, though.

    Honestly, I wasn't aware of a TGG app. Unless it's iPhone only, it's not well advertised.

    Edit.... I downloaded this TGG app. Not only did it tenner the Tapatalk Beta non-functional, but it didn't really work in forum mode.

    Seems like it's using files that the beta is designed to use.

    Uninstalling both and reinstalling the beta.

    Sorry, Petro.

    I can't use cell phones to type on forums. I'm a PC guy, through and through. I love the big screen and a keyboard that I can type on fast. I also really dislike how it automatically tags your posts with ads for the program. Screw that. Typing out thoughts or arguments beyond one liners on a phone is definitely not for me. Ain't nobody got time for dat! I could probably type a complete paragraph with a keyboard in less than a minute. On a phone it would probably take 10+ times longer.

    I can type almost as fast using Swype with one thumb as I can on a regular keyboard.

    You have to tweak the sensitivity a bit to suit your needs, but it works pretty well.

    I've Swyped 10 paragraph posts from my phone before and not even realized it until I hit Submit.

    At least you're consistent. I think that's the word I'm looking for, anyway.

    Boring and repetitive could be valid substitutes.
