Those nice people at Google play try and charge you for it. (They're not happy trying to totally monitor and control all our lives!)

Google don't write/maintain the software they just take a slice of commission from those that do.

Anybody know a reliable free download of tapatalk for android?

It comes up for free from time to time at Getjar/Amazon or can be heavily reduced on the Play Store.

I don't really mind paying £2 for such a useful app but if you can't stomach it then it's easy to find illicit copies you can use at your own risk. Just please don't post the links on here, we don't allow Warez links.

It's one of the few apps I've paid for and it's well worth the tiny price.

I've bought the app and am very happy with the layout and ease of use. I used to  just have the homepage as an icon this is miles better cheers for the beta, never heard of it before.

You may however see promoted adds in the application you have paid for.  Not sure if its limited to XDA.

Which seems counter-intuitive, normally you'd have adverts in free versions of an application, you then have the option to buy an add-free version.  :shrug:

I downloaded the version you linked and not come across any adverts as of yet. Find it much easier to view on my iPhone worth the couple of quid for the amount of time I spend on here.

I think the ads were limited to XDA but Tapatalk claimed there was some kind of "auto opt-in" for forum owners.  A bit out of order imo and I've never seen ukb/ukcaving serving ads to Tapatalk so I reckon that's bullshit.  Either XDA or Tapatalk were trying it on, paid apps should never had ads of any kind.

Anyway, I only ever saw them on XDA and now they've gone away.

If it isn't back up then, please take a look at the UKB Twitter feed for a revised estimate.

Good luck and thanks for the heads up. And especially for timing the upgrade for whilst I’ll be somewhere between Manchester and LA :)
