Great but buggy I am a new registered user and every time I want to post something a pop-up message prevents me to do it, it says something about spam and blablabla, but the thing that concers me is that it says I cant post outside links but and not attaching any link to my message :( it is just a normal message. Crazy app!!!

Many bugs Subscriptions don't show. Can't tell which threads are read or unread when I can get subscribed threads to work intermittently. Less information density. Pretty sad for an app designed for a community of devs...

Poor performance. App was perfect on the old layout before everything got updated. App now freezes for 5 seconds at a time, threads load slowly, all around performance and just disappeared now. Rolling back to when the app used to work.

It works great... On newer devices On my old device it just tries loading a bunch, even froze my phone the one time. Would love to see it work well on both low and higher end devices

Good improvements. +1star Good application to browse my favorite mobile dev forum. The few problem I have seens in previous version seems to be fixed. I will keep one eye on it. Sent from the app is there, I like it. I will have a look further, I just installed the last version today.

Favorite I don't like the new update at all. Can't just go to a topic you keep a eye on then click back to the device instead have to go through all forums to find the device your interested in

Please clear app data by going to Settings > Apps > XDA Premium 4 > Clear Data. If that doesn't work, please re-install the app. Sorry for the inconvenience! Poor performance. App was perfect on the old layout before everything got updated. App now freezes for 5 seconds at a time, threads load slowly, all around performance and just disappeared now. Rolling back to when the app used to work.

XDA is great But this app Sticks soooooo bad ... and it has for years I use them on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Note 4 Note 5 Note7 Note 10.1 Note 12.2 and every single one of them with this app sticks. I recently tried XDA labs and it works perfect
It annoys me very much I just got the app and tried to post something to the moto x sub channel and it says I can't till I post 10 things. How am I supposed to post 10 things if it won't let me?
My bible for all things cellular! Have been using this site and app to get my information for my Android cellys. Great forums, great selection of phones/tablets, and all the useful info you need. Keep up the great work!
NEW UPDATE BLOWS CHUNKS The new update sucks balls. You cannot REPLY to a thread or a post!!!! How can I interact if this function is not possible come on XDA get your act together. Also subscribed threads are not showing up either. I've even clicked on a forum to subscribe and nothing shows up. I mean come on this is ridiculous we paid for this app it was great before the update. LIKE I SAID GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!
Gone downhill Don't when it was implemented but dislike the split screen navigation. Have the screen to select thread and other half to read. What genius thought let me use half my screen to do each task separately?
Utter garbage The fact that XDA developers can't provide what should be a beast of a mobile app, is the height of irony. This app is a shambles, even after the latest update, subscribed topics refuse to show.
New update is good But still takes some time to load and slows down just.. And no subscription problem as other users are saying and better than xda labs till now.
New Update Thank you, finally this app has been updated. I paid for this app years ago and patiently (not really) waiting for a UI overhaul and bug fixes and finally it seems like they came thru. Just the UI alone has won me over.
New update is great! Since the jump to version 5 I've had a much better time with the app, still a little slow to load and doesn't seem to consistently open to my subscriptions but other than that it's great!
Bye, Tapatalk I only really use Tapatalk these days with XDA, and Tapatalk constantly infuriates me as they seem to change the design of their app every week. This seems lightweight enough and responsive to be a good replacement.
Used to work great. And it does again! (12/16/15)-Used to work great, now it don't work at all. I left it hanging on the start up screen for 10 minutes then I gave up since they obviously broke it. (Alcatel idol 3). (2/27/16)- still doesn't work guys, are you serious. (4/12/16)- well you guys finally put an effort in on this and not labs, and I'm happy with it thanks guys.
Last update While graphically gorgeously revamped, since update I've noticed a problem. Even though read, the subscribed forums and threads always show up with bold letters as I've not read them. Can you address this issue?
Useless Cannot open links from searches. Always claims the thread is deleted. If that isn't enough, it crashes when using links that is not from a search. Using Android 6.0.1
Finally no more crashes! After several years of being the most buggy, crash prone, laggy app I've ever used, they overhauled everything and it's working great the past few days consistently. It's amazing!
Sub par Since last update, all subscriptions are not coming up, not that it worked correctly before either. Threads or topics. Cleared data and cache. Amazed at how poorly this app has been. A paid app for a forum of phone developers.......oh well.
Problem Why cannot I post or reply a comment. It says something like 10 posts. What is that. Please clarify
Nexus 6 Even with the most recent update the app isn't no better... Most the time it never shows what you're subscribed to... Only thing that's really changed it the look...
Material design !! Great update guys been waiting for an update on the ui everything is great only gripe is notifications is a hit or miss sometimes I get notifications and sometimes I don't. Overall great update. Hard to choose between this an XDA LABS!
Great app Who wouldn't love this app. So many ways to brick your phone or tablet and fortunately a massive community of helpful folk who can help you unbrick it again.
Update terrible I can no longer make a shortcut to a specific forum. Old version worked fine. Why would you remove such an important feature?
Much Better, but..... Please re-add the ability to view the "All Forums" in alphabetical order. Takes forever to find a device in that section while they are all scrambled up.
Newest version They took away the feature that would show in bold what threads you haven't read. Now they all show up bold, read or not. And it seems slow as hell
Reply Thank you for the material design. But I am not able to see any option to reply in a thread! Please Help ASAP!
This is a great app. But why take away the shortcut feature. Am i missing something, how do i create a shortcut to the phone that i want to go directly to as on the previous version, or how do i roll the update back? Please add in the shortcut feature.
You destroyed this app Long time XDA member. The app used to be great. Now, no widgets and terrible interface. WHY??? You took a useful daily tool and turned into useless trash.
good but not great although i like the new look of the app, i miss the "favorites" tab and a custom tabs option so i could manually choose which tabs i want to be shown in the app... also, some better separation of read/unread threads/posts would be nicer (i.e. unread - orange & bold, read - gray & normal)
The Holy grail of all things cool Been a proud xda member for years now. It was From being there that I learned how to root and flash roms. It's packed with information and resources related to my device and so much more. Love it. It's my go-to on my how-to. You all should check it out.
Won't remember my subscribed forums Just like the title says, subscribe to some forums and there will always have one or two disappear later. Annoying as hell
Does it really work? Whenever I search anything....it always says no results found
Latest update ruined the app Should of left well alone it was much better before, the premium version for 4.0+ constant bug outs, freezing unable to read some threads due to the colours used.
"Push notifications" broken The "Push notifications" system doesn't work. Whenever someone posts a new comment, I don't get a notification. I'll rate it 5 ⭐ when this bug is fixed.
Would it be THAT hard to allow searching for a certain device thread? Example, on the website I click search, type "no" and by that time it is suggesting the Att Galaxy Note 4 already! I've been on the app 10 minutes... Searching there only returns posts, not form or thread titles. Even worse, the forum sections (hundreds) are jumbled in no apparent order, so finding the category for my note4 att version is taking forever! Try this: have the app lookup the the model I am using, suggest that categoey. So far, website is much better... I keep trying this anually... Never change
S duos | moto g3 Many things need to be fixed like if any other app shows an xda link and if i press it. Then it will open through xda app but only my subscribed thread is opened and not the dedicated thread is opened
Can't login out even create a new account Any time I want to login they say invalid username or password provided.. I cleared the app data as you guys suggested but still no good news.. And also when trying to register they say invalid tapatalk authorization data failed.... Now what do I do??????
