    A decent Tapatalk alternative could take over their market right now.
    I don't think anyone is happy with the new updates, or the fact that the made the premium version free and released a new premium version, effectively forcing paid users to buy the software again.

    If you read the comments in the app store, it's pretty apparent that if there was an alternative, people would be jumping ship like crazy.

    They seem to be switching business models again, or may be that was in the original plan.
    They started by giving the app for free to gain market share and make the publishers install the server part. Then they started charging one time fee and providing future updates for free.
    The problem is that when you start approaching the saturation of customers willing to pay for such an app the revenue drops dramatically. So they're trying to generate money by ads and hitting again the customers who have already proven willing to pay. So they'll be like traditional software companies charging for each upgrade (unless they can get paid through ads, but that seems very unlikely given how poorly they did in their past attempts).

    At the end of the day the basic economics is still here - they want to be paid for the work and once you hit the limit of how many times you can sell the exact same thing you have to make something new and convince people to buy it.
    A competitor will have to deal with the exact same problem, and it's not clear if being upfront about having to charge repeatedly will help them. Or they could repeat the same thing tapatalk did, but it'll be a shame if it works.

    All right so still having issues. One one page says Im logged in and go to next and asks me to log in again. But go back and it says Im still logged in. Coming up with error message when I try to like something. Yesterday it asked me to log in so I went back and back and back and it stopped asking for log in and was working just by going back a few pages.

    Im using my phone so not much choice. Just get onto net and srp website. Now my log in etc at top is showing in the middle of the top ad on page making it difficult to log in. Its just slowly getting worse and worse. Don't really understand as this site is the only one having a problem. At home on the computer no issues at all.
