Thread: Can we get Tapatalk enabled?

Its a possibility, but I'm been kind of waiting to see who else weighs in.

Hi -

Me! :-)

As you know, I mod over at WatchUSeek, and we installed TapaTalk recently. After downloading the free version, I actually went and bought the pro version because it really is a great way to check the forums from any mobile/smart phone that is supported by TapaTalk. Now if they would only add some modding tools...

Seriously: for mobile access to the forums, it's pretty cool. Handles inline pictures much, much better than the usual browsers.

I'll weigh in, but it doesn't seem like there's a groundswell of requests. :-)

I am getting old - what is Tapatalk?

Way of viewing the forum on mobile devices.

From: http://www.tapatalk.com/

Tapatalk is a forum app on the iPhone, Android, webOS, Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry and Nokia. Tapatalk Forum App provides super fast on-the-go forum access to majority of the discussion forums that has activated the Tapatalk plugin.

Hmm. I am not sure if I am a cranky old guy, the child who talks about the emperors clothes or just missing it?

I suspect that Tapatalk is an intermediate solution to a temporary problem. The development of smartphones and touchpads are moving along at a blistering speed - sooner or later you will want the full Monty on your hot new device ...

(disclaimer - I have been wrong before )

I vote yes. Regardless of how fast smartphones get in the near future, the display is way too small to be reading a full-blown forum display. I use tapatalk for another forum and it works well.

I don't get it. Why would you want to view photos on a photo forum on a tiny little screen?

Because you can?

A more compelling reason is that you want to see it now, not when you come home in a few hours ...

In general, I read the postings of the forum members as well as looking at the photos. If the photo is notable I can look at it later when I'm at a regular computer. My Android phone has a larger LCD screen than my E-3 or E-P2, and I view pictures on that all the time when I'm taking them.

At present, I do not read the forums on the phone, but I could imagine doing it, particularly if I upgraded to a phone that has a builtin keyboard.

I vote yes as well. I often browse on an iPhone, and having the forum optimised for a small screen would be fantastic.

Having just upgraded to an Android phone I would certainly make use of Tapatalk now.

In for tapatalk also.

So, any movement?

Guess I'll add a Yes vote too although I'd be using a tablet and that should be fine without.

I still prefer using Tapatalk on my iPad, and now my iPhone too.

Yup...

Add another "Yes" . . .

I vote yes. Use Tapatalk all the time to check a few forums I'm on.

Absolutely. I use Tapatalk on a few other forums and would love to have it enabled here....

I just started using tapatalk for my Thrive forum and it sure cuts down on the time needed to stay caught up. As a new moderator there, I try to read every post and that can take some time using a web browser.

There's a micro 4/3's forum on Tapatalk. Just saying.

So still no Tapatalk?
