You could try Safari or give

Opera Mini a try!

Hello,

I'm saddened by this. If the issue is repaired/fixed will you re-install?

Sorry not now. I've been busy working on some other projects related to the site and can't even get enough sleep... However, I do want to re-visit this again in the future once I believe their product is matured enough but not anytime soon.

You can, like they said, use Safari.

I would like to add my support for Tapatalk. It is easier to view forums with Tapatalk then with the browser on a small screen and Tapatalk is faster and uses less data. Please consider reinstalling it when they fix this bug which seems to only be in the Android version.

The security issue with Tapatalk might be fixed if I am reading this correctly. It is the responsibility of the Admin to investigate and decide of this feature should be turned back on.

That's great. I hope it is fixed and can be turned back on soon.

Keith, how exactly did the Android bug affect the iPhone users too? Did it somehow give access to the server side so people could access anyone's passwords?

Not trying to slam Android here, just wondering how this bug worked?

I don't know the whole story Ron but I think you can follow the links and get the full story if your interested. I'm speculating that the first version of TapaTalk for Android the developer missed some encryption options so queries to the servers were returned un-encrypted and thus readable if someone was snooping. I'm further speculating that the user doing the queries would have to be a server admin anyway so this exploit probably did not go far.

It was good to see the bug finder, an Android developer btw, contact Tapatalk right away and work to close this vulnerability.
