Title: Tapatalk ... re-enabled
Post by: Susan on July 30, 2012, 12:41:23 AM
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....

QuoteTypically, 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:

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yoxi.net%2Fanitya%2Fsustap.jpg&hash=624a2018ed5adbae1bc57e538ebac88e90bfb2c5)

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.

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.

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.

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 ::).

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.

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.

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!
Title: Re: Tapatalk enabled

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

Post by: LivingInGrey on August 02, 2012, 12:33:26 AM
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.

I'll be playing around with it.

I forgot to report back what it does. The Tapatalk Notifier gives you a little popup with a link in your Chrome browser, whenever you get a personal message on Susan's, even if you don't have Susan's up. Not as nifty as the full app on a smart phone or e-reader, but still useful.

Can whoever set up tapatalk for this forum tell me what category they chose to register the site under with tapatalk? I've just set up a local forum, and I can't see any relevant categories to use for gender stuff.

Yeah, I remember that, it was just that their site was demanding that I pick a category before being able to register a site, and none of them fit gender issues. I settled on Holistic Healing in the end :).

Hi, is there any plan to update the tapatalk API on this forum? It shows that my notification is disabled when using tapatalk 4 due to the outdated API.
Thank you..

Is there a status on Tapatalk functionality?  I use it on my iPad to access nearly all of the forums I frequent (except one, which recently dropped support for Tapatalk as they have now forced users to access via a custom build of an OLD version of Tapatalk).  Hoping that Tapatalk functionality returns soon.

Post by: ♥ Dutchess on June 25, 2013, 11:44:28 PM
I thought I was the only one using Tapatalk that much. I got sad when it stopped working on my phone. I definitely think this board needs a mobile platform. Or it's own app (which would be cool too!)

So with Tapatalk disabled for the foreseeable future, are there any alternatives planned?

Yeah trying to proof a post on iOS makes all sorts of weird things happen. Like, if you try to set the cursor somewhere the page flys up to the smiley faces and you lose your place. Sometimes it wigs out and you lose your post in the process

Yes, iOS (even though I love my iPhone) can be a pain in the arse.  I would really love to see Susan's supporting TapaTalk again, I miss this place so much.  It's just more simple and easy to pop into the app and see what's going on and put my 2 cents in than it is to use the website with mobile Safari. 

I've not been very active lately anyway, lots going on but I do hope that sometime soon we get TT enabled again!!
Title: Re: Tapatalk ... disabled
Post by: Jennygirl on July 21, 2013, 05:46:51 PM
I'm looking forward to getting a Note 3 when it comes out... Then likely tapatalk will not even be necessary. I've been an iPhone/iOS user since the day it was released, but ever since I went to Korea I've been craving having one of those super huge phones or "phablets" as they are calling them.

The way the posting mechanisms work through the iOS web browser and this forum engine has to be in the barely usable category. It's the most frustrating thing I've ever done on an iPhone due to the way that the screen flips up when you try to place the cursor somewhere.

Also iOS... over it!
Title: Re: Tapatalk ... disabled
Post by: jfong on July 21, 2013, 05:53:56 PM
I just got myself a note 2 and browsing the forum with it is still not as good as tapatalk. For just reading the replies it's ok. I don't think it will be any different with note 3. But coming from iphones, I can seee a huge jump.
Title: Re: Tapatalk ... disabled
Post by: Shodan on July 22, 2013, 09:51:13 AM
Yeah. I agree. I have a Note 2, and while reading the forum is okay, there's no way I'm going to even try to post on them. I can't even imagine what it would be like on a phone with a smaller screen.
Title: Re: Tapatalk ... disabled
Post by: Ltl89 on July 22, 2013, 11:24:08 AM
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and it is very annoying to navigate this forum on the browser.  I doubt the Note series will be a great improvement.  It's not that much bigger.  Still if you hold out for the Note 3, I am sure that will be your best bet.
Title: Re: Tapatalk ... disabled
Post by: Pia Bianca on July 22, 2013, 01:07:57 PM
Yeah the Galaxy series doesn't have a wide display; websites often are a pain to browse with it. But on the other hand it's a mobile phone and no tablet, so it shouldn't be bigger... as it wouldn't fit into a jacket anymore.

Will tapatalk return at a future time?
