Tapatalk ... re-enabled

[Susan]

Tapatalk is enabled. Due to issues with the name, I have used the site domain. So search for susans.org in the app for forum name.

Tapatalk is a mobile app built specifically for forum access. Different from mobile skin or mobile version that comes with the forum system, Tapatalk allows user to have a unified interface to access multiple forums at the same time. With million of Tapatalk users, your forum can be discovered by potential new members thru Tapatalk Network and our ranking and recommendation system.

From Padma....

Typically, on a smartphone there will be a web browser, like the one you're using to read this right now, so you can browse the internet on it - and on a smartphone, it's quite hard work reading the tiny screens, So the app for Tapatalk provides a dedicated screen format of the forum data that makes reading posts much easier. the example image on their website:



shows this on an iPhone.

For comparison, here's our favourite website on the iPhone browser:



So it's just a more manageable way of viewing your forum data than using the built-in web browser.

I noticed that there is also a Tapatalk Notifier for laptop/desktop if you are running the Chrome browser, but I didn't install the app until I saw your post!

I'll be playing around with it.

[Padma]

Thanks very much, this makes mobile Susan's a lot easier on the eye!

[Padma]

Using it right now, and it's actually even easier for me than using my desktop browser (apart from the fiasco that is me typing on my phone dkgvjsnsk).

I can even mod from my phone now (to some extent), it's flexible enough for that.

Thanks for looking out for us mobile users! I will have to play around with the app.

You kids today. Why, when I was a kid tap-a-talk was drumming your fingers on the desk during an awkward telephone conversation.

Uh, I mean, I probably need to learn a little bit more about how smartphones interact with teh interwebs.

[Padma]

I just had tapatalk already for easy access to a bigender forum, and it really does make forums accessible on a phone. Dammit, just one more reason to spend too much time staring at the tiny screen .

Got the app on both my iPhone and my Kindle Fire. I like the Kindle Fire version better. The Kindle Fire is the poor girls iPad

[Padma]

I can well imagine it'd be easier to use on a bigger screen - I'm envious.

Susan, what do you get for poor girl's iPone? I'm sure I could get one if I set my mind to it... but we don't get service in the boonies.  This looks like a great app for those who have the 'right equipment.' Okay, smack me with a ruler.

I got my iphone free after renewing my contract with AT&T for 2years...

Just adding onto this point, most major carriers also provide free or nearly free phones that have android, a few offer windows and blackberry based phones for free now too, mobile technologies have never been so easily accessible by so many income levels..... Of course they all won't let you without a monthly data plan, on a smartphone so it is easy to see that it does indeed cost more even on a free phone.

I have an HTC EVO 3D myself, and i cant complain, though I do miss my much cuter non smartphone LG d-lite.

Does this "tapatalk" allow for use of the chat room?

[Padma]

No, just forums.

[Felix]

I'm just going to pretend that I know what's going on. I'm hip and with it. I belong to the youth generation, hepcats and all that. Lol. /soconfused

[Padma]

Felix, it's an eye strain-relief thing .

Susan's on an iPhone browser:

I bought the tapatalk app about a month ago by accident and have never used it until now.  I like it very much.  Thanks for making this possible!

[Eva Marie]

I've been using tapatalk for quite a while on other forums and i'm glad to see it supported here now 

[LivingInGrey]

I have the 'tapatalk' (free) version for the xda forums for android... but honestly, I can't see spending money on tapatalk when Opera Mobile (not mini, the full deal) works just fine on (most) every forum on the webz. I've been osing Opera since back when WinMo 6.x made it's way to the "smart phone" industry.

But, I'm gald you guys are on board along with the facebook deal. I don't use facebook either... but it's nice to see new features online.

Keep up the good work. Just waiting for that paypal button :p

Very cool. I remember making a post about this not that long ago. Thank you so much for adding it. Definitely easier to surf the forum without having to pinch and zoom all the time. I too eagerly await the donation button.
