Rare broberts Posted April 11, 2013 #27 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I downloaded the new CC app and deleted the Tapatalk. Boy was that a mistake. I have experienced very sluggish scrolling (never had this problem before) & then there are the ads that weren't there on the Tapatalk. For someone not on CC much, the new free app is ok I guess. But for medium to heavy readers - stay with Tapatalk. I'm reinstalling Tapatalk today & deleting the CC app. Since they are apparently the same basic app I'm a little surprised at your experience. I haven't noticed any delays on my WiFi connected tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted April 11, 2013 #28 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I had tapatalk but deleted it after I downloaded the CC app. I have them set up for automatic notifications and was getting 2 for each reply to a subscribed thread. Bill Haven't run into that problem yet. Still only 1 notification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&T ReadyToCruiseAgain Posted April 11, 2013 #29 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The link for the New CC app popped on when I opened TapaTalk as someone else mention. I also noticed the CC version would hang up when scrolling down the page. My problem is that I cannot log in on either application. I think it's because I have an underscore in my CC Name. I'll keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare songbird1329 Posted April 11, 2013 #30 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The Android Tapatalk was always free. I got the prompt to download the CC app when I opened Tapatalk on my tablet, but didn't get the prompt on my Droid. I'll try it out for awhile before I decide to delete Tapatalk.

jmkel Posted April 11, 2013 #31 Share Posted April 11, 2013 So does this CC app require Wi-Fi or does it run independently. I downloaded Deck Director the other night. It does not need WiFi... and it will help you find your way around your ship. I don't know how many times I get myself lost... even on the 7th day I still couldn't get where I was going.... Directional Disorder :p so I think this deck plan app where I can type in my starting point, my ending point and it will tell me how to get there and I can even tell it if I want to do stairs or elevators or if it's more than 3 flights of stairs, etc! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Rare LauraS Posted April 11, 2013 Administrators #33 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Some notes on the new app: Yes, it is FREE! Free is good. Free comes with ads; pretty standard in the industry. Yes, it is Tapatalk dressed up with Cruise Critic logowear. I think it looks great! The "free" version of Tapatalk has ads, and less features. The "paid" version of Taptalk has no ads, and is upgradeable w/ various add-on features. We're looking into some of those for our branded version. Both the free and paid version of Tapatalk will allow you to use it on other forum-based communities that have enabled the feature on their message boards.

Administrators Rare LauraS Posted April 11, 2013 Administrators #34 Share Posted April 11, 2013 So does this CC app require Wi-Fi or does it run independently. Yes, it is web-based so you'll need some type of internet access, whether it is via your smartphone's 3 or 4G connection or wi-fi. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for medium to heavy readers - stay with Tapatalk. I'm reinstalling Tapatalk today & deleting the CC app. I am also having issues with the new app. I find that when I type a comment, the keyboard is very sluggish. There is an annoying delay between when I type and when the words come up on the screen. I'm using an iPhone 4S. Instead of hearing little clicks and seeing the letters show up on the scene immediately as I type them, I hear silence and see nothing, and then all of a sudden a bunch of letters will show up all at once. This makes it very hard to see if I've made a typo and is rather frustrating. I guess I'll just go back to using tapatalk! Oh well, maybe this new app will work its kinks out and I can try it again in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bguppies Posted April 11, 2013 #41 Share Posted April 11, 2013 CC one is free but has Ads on it. If you want to avoid the ads pay the money for tapatalk. The CC one is basically like the tapatalk one with ads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. Please excuse any typographical errors. Luckily I had already gotten Tapatalk, so I will try the free app, but if the ads are too prevalent, I'll be back to Tapatalk in a heartbeat. I'm always willing to pay 99 cents to avoid ads in my apps. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunCruiser56 Posted April 11, 2013 #46 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I got the new CC app but the ads are annoying. I would be happy to pay for a ad free CC app. I will probably stick with Tapatalk for now. Bev Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubfan63 Posted April 11, 2013 #49 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I'd like to find the 99 cent TapaTalk. There are two versions in the App Store for iPhone. The original is $2.99 and TapaTalk 2 is $3.99. Both rather steep when there is a free app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
