Just trying to get used to using this but finding the navigation awkward. Any experts out there with hints and tips?.

Just play around with it until it becomes 2nd nature mate.. It'll be worth it and it is quite easy to get the hang of. It's a quality app to use for forums but you do miss out on polls. Not that that's a major problem

Thanks and will do.

Where I struggle is that you seem to have to use the back key to get back to the big board, or am I missing a menu somewhere?.

Just use Latest > Unread and you don't have to do very much navigating at all.

I don't see that option. the only menu bar I have is set for interacting with threads and little else.

Android or iPhone?

Android, Nexus7.

In that case you should have a main ui like this:


So Bozza meant use the to left option. Once in there you can choose between "unread" and two other options.

You can also install a short cut directly to "the big board" from NSC into your desktop to save time

I only see that menu bar on the big board not whilst in a thread. Therefore have to click other back button to come out.

Thanks for the help it is appreciated.

There is a new version out for tablets which looks different.

I like it but Trigger is right that you do keep having to use the back button which feels unnecessary.

Still in beta though so hopefully it will improve.

Best advice is not to bother, I just use the safari or chrome browsers on my iPhone & iPad.
Find it far easier to navigate.

I find I get "no topics" quite often, which incidentally shows now, despite there being quite a few unread threads.

That is not the best of advice. Tapatalk is a wonderful way to view a forum on a tablet. It has few downsides (polls as already mentioned) but it has many advantages for one, the speed at which one can view posts on threads already participated in. It simplifies viewing nsc massively and I love it!

This! I have an android phone and tablet and always use tapatalk.

What's so difficult about tapping a Back button?

It's dead easy to use and far superior to trying to use Safari IMO

Ok, if that's your experience,
I view more threads than i participate in, but for me it does not do anything quicker that the browsers do. so I do not see any benefits to it at all, would love it to be better and more quicker than browsers, but just don't see it. are there ant tutorial that explain it, or is it just down to "play and see"?

How do you do a screencap?

On an iPhone, Tapatalk is much, much nicer - the interface is clean and no need to pinch and zoom all the time.

On an iOS device, click home and power simultaneously.
