Bug Tapatalk - More Frustrations with Icons, Versions and User Agent String

My frustration with Tapatalk continues. After reinstalling TT for the forums, I'm trying to tweet it so we can get a lot of benefit for forum members. TT has both a free version and a "Pro" version (which we pay for). I paid for the "Pro" version, and the first thing I noticed was that the app icons on the phone are completely the same.

On the left is TT "Free" and on the right is TT "Pro"... they are identical 100%. This is frustrating when testing; and I wonder why they cannot have a sightly different icon for "free" and "pro"...

Then, while testing, I noticed that TT does not consistently follow the standard and send the TT app version number in the User Agent string. Normally, the UA string looks like:

Code:
 "Mozilla/5.0 Firefox/3.5.6 Tapatalk/2.4.1"

so there is the "Tapatalk/2.4.2" in the UA string which correctly shows the version number.

However, more often the UA string is:

Code:
"Mozilla/5.0 Firefox/3.5.6 Tapatalk/"

.. where there is no version number. I'm simply confused (again) why TT developers omit this important information from the User Agent string.

So, curious about this, I try to see if certain versions of TT send the UA; so I go to my free and paid "pro" TT apps and try to find the version number in the apps.

Surprise!

There is no "About Tapatalk" page in the phone app and there is no version number to be found anywhere in the app, anywhere.

So, the icon logos on the phone apps are indistinguishable, there is no TT version number in the UA string and there is no TT version information in the app itself.

Argghhh. My frustration with Tapatalk continues!
