    Tapatalk 2 was just released. Im really impressed for the couple minutes I've been playing with it.

    Its a free upgrade if you purchased tapatalk 1, so id highly recommend upgrading.

    Now, if I only didn't have to purchase it again to put it on my Fire. Things purchased at Amazon appstore can be downloaded onto multiple devices. I have not had any success moving an app from the phone to a device on things I purchased at the Google appstore

    Indeed. I can't remember where I purchased mine...i'm pretty sure from Google, I don't remember it being available at Amazon when I got it

    yeah... Or were we using tapatalk before there was an Amazon Appstore?

    If you have an android phone download an app called ES File Expxlorer, then go to App Manager and make a backup of the apps you want to put on your fire. Using a service like Box, upload the apk from your phone to Box and then download to your Fire and install it.

    It sounds more complicated than it really is to do. Holler if you have any questions.

    or you could just root your fire and install the Modaco ROM and have the google store on your Fire.

    ahhhh... I will give ES File Expxlorer a check...

    google plau has not been happy with my other rooted devices, so I doubt I would have any more success on the fire, as it still wont have a mobile phone number which for some reason all my rooted devices cry for when I try to put a google purhased app on them.

    of course it could also be that my rooted devices are cheapo tablets

    it worked fine for me. Unfortunately my screen is bad and my fire was a clearance so it's return only..no exchange :-(

    Not meaning to go OT, but is tapatalk our only android option for TSD? I'd really like to find a free app is possible. Google has enough of my info without having to set up a google cart (or whatever they call it) to purchase an app.

    Convo is the free version of tapatalk, but I believe it to be based on tapatalk one, and its ad supported. If you have an amazon account, you can buy apps there as well.

    There's always the native browser as well.

    Thanks! I responded more fully in the android thread cross post.

    It took a while on the touchy phone to get the apps backed up. Phone was tethered to PC and the files are moving to the cloud to download to the fire. So far so good. Installing on fire..

    excellent.. But I suppose I won't be able to get updates directly. But it is a small price to pay.

    What phone have you got? Play was a bit touchy with me for a while...force closing all the time, but then it got itself figured out an works great.

    And yes, I love the look of the new tapatalk and am very happy that I can now "Like" and "PM" members on the TSD.
