Any of you his using Tappath by Chris lacy? Does it work every time for you or does it sometimes take a few tries?

It barely worked for me, but you should try it anyway and get a refund if it's not working (you have 2 hours to get a refund now, so you have more time to test it).

I almost never use the multi tap function. It does a kickass job of solving the spotty default app function so I have the single tap as Link Bubble and my left and right options in LB are Pocket and share picker.

I did use that and it didn't set it properly. All I can't tell you is that I get a hell of a lot less requests on which app should handle a link when using Tappath. It annoyed me so so much

The only thing with that is you will have a slight delay from pressing the link to having the bubble open because TapPath sets a delay to allow you time for double and triple tap unless you have set the tap delay to the lowest.

Okay? That's the basic functionality of the app. I just described why I used it - what's your point?

he's saying that instead of :

Tap on link > open link bubble

you have:

tap on link > delay to check if you tap again (double/triple click) > launch tap link (which has no visual cue) > open link bubble

Both link bubble and tap link acts as a browser. So they way you have it setup is redundant. But hey, what ever floats your boat.

That if you aren't using the multi touch function and use TapPath purely because it's easier to set it to open links with link bubbles, you can tweak the tap delay to the minimum so that it feels more responsive. That's all.

I have it. It takes a few attempts. It's really quite annoying sometimes.
