invalid license

Is there any benefit to using an app to browse and post here? I've always preferred the full functioning website inside the Chrome browser over a watered down app...

Invalid license errors are often caused by problems connecting to Play Services. Sometimes I get that error through paid apps then realize my Gmail won't sync and Play Store isn't working, and later works fine.

What makes the app nice is that it load a lot quicker and uses less data. However there are always rare random issues like quoting the wrong post or a post submitting into the wrong thread. This has happened to me twice since I started using tapatalk over a year ago. So pay attention after the post and if something goes wrong, report it for the mods to correct the error.

Have you tried out the Tapatalk 4 beta?

Oh, well I ask because i've been using 4 since it was released and across 3 forums i've never had that issue that you mentioned.

It happens so rarely that you may not see it. They might have even fixed it Tapatalk 4. Like I said twice over the span of 14 months is pretty uncommon. Since the specific AF app is based on Tapatalk 2, it will occur using that too. I bet some of the other staff can attest to some really weird things happening as well.
