[Q] Difference Between Tapatalk and XDA App? Which is better? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i notice a lot of people either use the XDA mobile app or tapatalk. My question is....which is better and why do you use one over the other. Does tapatalk give you instant notifications when someone has quoted you or posted something?
Thanks!

tapatalk is like xda app plus you can browse any other supported forums with it. xda has only xda, tapatalk has access to rootzwiki, xda, miui.us, and tons of other forums.

Basically when someone quotes me or replies to me I want too get an instant notification with the app. From what I'm using now (xda app) it doesn't do that

And that is why you drive the short bus. J/K. I had the same issue, took me like a week to find "simple" view. Even sent tapatalk a nasty email that they NEVER replied to about it. So, I'm excited the app FINALLY supports thanks, but I will leave my low-star rating on the market since tapatalk most likely still has its head stuffed securely up its own ass. Even a busted clock is right twice a day.
Fuhq tapatalk.

There have already been a few threads about this issue. Solution..pay a measly sum for the premium ap.
I started a thread about the same issue then i decided to pay the 1.50 for the premium app and it was a smart choice would have done it sooner if i had the chance you wont be dissappointed

I'll say that some of the best apps I have, I paid for. Especially titanium backup pro....wow. That one pays for itself with the time it saves me during restores on flashing roms with my infuse.
OK so I'll buy it. I can't believe the free one wouldn't work though. Strange.

Not trying to be a buzzkill for people who bought the XDA app or anything but I'd highly recommend getting the Tapatalk app instead, which is basically the same app but without the XDA "skin". It's also more regularly updated and you can use it to access other forums. The development for the XDA app seems to have pretty much stopped.

I did consider the Taptalk app but i thought buying the XDA app was more appropriate as i was donating towards the good of the XDA community.It`s the lifeblood of us Android fanatics.

I bought the XDA app for that reason, but I use the Tapatalk app. Had I realized that the XDA app wasn't going to be updated frequently for bug fixes I wouldn't have bought it. Supporting XDA is one thing (I have an 'I supported star' for example) but buying an app and having it not work is something else, which is why I personally recommend people buy the tapatalk app. It works, gets updates for bug fixes, and handles most of the forums out there, not just XDA.

First off warez isn't allowed on this Site and I believe that is the apk for XDA Premium (unless improperly named). Especially when it's the sites own app
Second: all the xda premium app is, is Tapatalk 2 with XDA branding. No differences so XDA didn't listen to its users, the developers behind Tapatalk did.
Third I just want to clarify that im not bashing xda on the above. I myself bought xda premium to support the Site even though I use Tapatalk.

Thanks for removing the link before I had to infract. I'm personally looking forward to trying the new xda app, the tapatalk 2 beta app kicks ass.
Finally thread closed. Although the warez is removed it appears to have become troll bait.

Xda premium search function

Use Google search just search what you want to find and add XDA in with the search. I've found you get better results this way.
Also questions should be asked in Q&A.

But people will always tell you to search first even though the search feature sucks
Seems strange to have to use an outside search program to find something IN the xda/tapatalk app
Yeah so when members say they searched and didn't find something, I believe them and don't rip them.

how to get google play books for free

i figured since you can get paid apps for free by downloading the latest apk and stuff, you might could do the same for books. i can get the .pdf file and use aldiko to read them (unfortunatley that and a few other formats dont work on play books), but i prefer the play books app instead. more fun to use ya know? so is there a format (like .apk for apps) that google play books come in?

This is a website for developing not for stealing. Developing does not mean hacking just your phone is running an unassigned official firmware does not make it hacked as you can call it. You can see we all pay for stuff, you don't see Adam Outler jacking phones to make reviews and such. Lol

I guess he thinks all apks are paid apks, so if you ask someone for an apk, then you are clearly pirating.
Seeing this kind of ignorance is exciting for me. After all, he's not a noob, he has over 300 posts.
