Great, thanks, I'd appreciate that.
You aren't the only one that has concerns. Their recent silent roll outs for certain features have annoyed a few people.

Dear Forum Owner,
Thank you once again to continue using Tapatalk. Connecting people to their passions is what we do, and we know we can’t accomplish that mission without you.
We also understand as Forum Owners you expect having full control over your forum. From the beginning, we have always provided Forum Owners the ability to control various features that we provide, for example image sharing. We are extending that control to the advertisement option.
Last month we sent out an email to you that Tapatalk was going to begin a testing Promoted Topics ad unit as a mean generate ad revenue for Forum Owners. Today, I want to assure you that Forum Owners have full control on displaying ads and receiving revenue on Tapatalk, and this control extends beyond any test period.
While over 84% of our forums have ads on their desktop site, we understand that there are many forums where ads are not appropriate. If you prefer to turn off advertising in your forum, you can go into your Tapatalk dashboard, and disable ads/revenue from Tapatalk. You can use the dashboard to change the settings at anytime.
For instructions on how to turn-off ads, go to our Support Forum/Monetization and Engagement, here is the link to the full instruction
If you previously change the settings, or previously sent a request that ads from Tapatalk be turned-off, those settings remain in place and no action is needed.
In the next update, we will provide you some of early results of our advertising tests, including the payment schedule etc.
If you have any question, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at eric@tapatalk.com
Regards,
Eric Sternbach

Why did you remove Tapatalk?Well since removing TapaTalk a few days ago, I've had to resort to this!
http://www.z22se.co.uk/resources/using-the-forum-via-mobile.79/
Some members have asked for a guide on using the forum via their mobile browser, because TapaTalk was apparently so much easier
Because frankly, I'm sick of it. and as mentioned here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/tapatalk-and-security-convos-etc.61114/#post-650222Why did you remove Tapatalk?
I have v1.8.1 and still have the option to set allowed usergroups at the bottom of /admin.php?options/list/tapatalkOptions Are you saying that this is ignored now?I've also just discovered that Taptalk have removed the option from the ACP to disallow guests. Looking back at older versions of the add-on (I keep them all seeing as you can't re-download them from Tapatalk) it was in version 1.70 but got removed in version 1.80 which was the updated version for Xenforo 1.2 and released on 7th August. They did not mention it's removal in the announcement post.
No, those options are still there. However, all those options seem to do is prevent users who aren't in the listed usergroups from logging in. They will still be able to see the forums that are publically available. I tested this yesterday.I have v1.8.1 and still have the option to set allowed usergroups at the bottom of /admin.php?options/list/tapatalkOptions Are you saying that this is ignored now?

That is correct.That's saying that those user groups are allowed to login from Tapatalk. (login to their user account at your site)
It's not talking about just browsing the site as a guest.
However, before version 1.8.0 -- there was an option that could disable guest browsing from Tapatalk:
"Allow non-registered user to access your forum via Tapatalk"
This is removed. It is more of a product decision as we want to make sure that all security / access are aligned with your forum settings and behave just like a browser.
If your forum allow guest access on web browser, it will work on Tapatalk too, or vice versa.
