Tapatalk has always been somewhat clunky an annoying to use, but the recent update has really tanked it. The new popup ads load really well - instantly, in fact - but the posts I actually want to see take an unbelievably long time to load. It's strange, because content will display for a moment before the popup appears, but then be gone afterwards. I'd be happy to watch an ad, but only if I can also see what I'm interested in. As it currently stands, Tapatalk is basically unusable.

I've had this app for almost 10 years (downloaded in 2013) and have never had any problems. The last update has resulted in very slow performance and sometimes I can't even get the forum topics to load at all. I'm not even annoyed about the removal of features like some other folks, but the poor loading times are very frustrating.

This app has crept over the threshold of usability with the additional pop-up ads that were added with the latest update. Those ads generally cause the app to crash and/or the threads to not load. At it's best it slows the app way, way down. I thought I just needed to uninstall & reinstall (as I've done several times previously), but nay, this seems like a permanent change for the worse. I've certainly paid for premium in the past, but this makes me just never want to do it again.
