I had the free one and I'm sure when I got to the 30 photos (surprisingly quickly) I had to purchase the app, it wasn't a lot of money from memory. Mine works the same as in the pictures.

Judy fantastic that Katie's DH was able to work it out for you, it's so frustrating when you know it's not working properly and you can't figure out why.

ES - that's very exciting, the screen quality is fantastic on the 4's.

Yes Katie is very lucky to have an IT guy for a DH but then so am I now that they have paid a visit and got me sorted.  When you know what you are doing it's so easy to work out problems - I wouldn't see them if they jumped out of the iPad and punched me in the nose  ;D

Go to the Apps store search Tapatalk and you will see it. IPAD app for free right next to the HD version.

Still there.

Nope not free - $2.99

Blimey you gotta be quick!

Amazing. We must have been seconds apart!


Also interesting you cannot resize photos in the HD version. Or at least I can't.

I'm not seeing it free either. AppShopper is a useful site for tracking apps to see when they drop in price

http://appshopper.com/search/?cat=&platform=all&device=all&sort=rel&dir=asc&search=tapatalk

So for instance Tapatalk HD hasn't had a price drop at all, but Tapatalk non HD recently dropped to €0.89 from its normal €2,69 unfortunately I failed to grab it at the time.

Was it that you had just not added your accounts to the iPad?

Something like that Gretchen, I had no idea why I couldn't send or receive emails with my bigpond a/c or why my apps wouldn't upgrade but within a few seconds he had my email sorted and my apps began upgrading (dozens of them  :D :D).  He just looked at some number on the back of the modem, wifi thingy and went from there - very quickly  :o  He's also put all the games into little boxes to tidy it up.

I agree suzanne, he is a very obliging and clever man.

Yes Gretchen and if I'm home it automatically cuts out the 3G and uses my wi-fi - I think that's how the story goes and I'm using the right terminology  :D :D  You gave me that advice right at the beginning but it wouldn't happen for me.  I am currently disabling email notification on heaps of forum topics in a bid to reduce my incoming emails on both the computer and the iPad.  Life is just a little hectic here at the moment  :-))

That's great Gert.

My ipad tapatalk is like ES's. I had to buy something or other after 30 photos too. So far I am very pleased.

Yes, I don't have the HD version,and I had to pay something too so I could upload more photos.
The screen is very crisp on my new iPad  ( except that the kids have smeared it with their grubby mits- I need to insist on clean hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Gert, I can't wait to hear what you think about the iPad mini. I decided on the full size 4 because I mostly use it at home, and if I'm out, I just used my iPhone.however, there was considerable debate in our house about it :)
