Hey mods, can you guys add tapatalk support?  I do probably 75% of my forum reading throughout the day from my iPhone or iPad.  It's a simple (free?) plugin that you can install in a directory on your server which will allow mobile devices to have a more native style interface to browse.  Thanks!


motion seconded!

I use TT for AmiBay, EAB and RobotReviews and just luv it for my iPhone, it just makes forums so much nicer to use on a mobile device!

I read EAB and AmiBay more because they DO have Tapatalk... A.org loses out without even knowing it...

Why don't you make a poll so to know the exact numbers instead of counting replies? :)

Unfortunately, forums with Tapatalk support tend to show a rather disruptive pop-up requester informing about support for the Tapatalk app when you use mobile devices. If you use restrictive browser privacy settings, the requester is shown rather frequently and extremely annoying. (I really do not get why there is no embedded banner instead which would be a whole lot less intrusive.)

I use the paid version and get no popups, and the fee is pretty minimal.  Anyway, amiga.org won't be selling anything, since there is a free version of tapatalk, instead, people will have an option of using a free version of a 3rd party software or paying for something of their own accord.  There will be no coercion on the part of amiga.org...

Apps like Tapatalk will make the forum poorer in the long term, with shorter messages typed on cellphones or tablets and will make nice features from the Amiga.org frontpage disappear such as the random pictures from the gallery, the "feed the kitten" link, news, etc.

If there is Tapatalk support, fine by me, but if there isn't i won't regret it.

With leading such a busy life with 2 kids etc i find tapatalk makes it so much easier to participate on the run - I save any big detailed posts for when I get a chance to use my Mac.

Another option that can be done if the site owner doesnt want to use tapatalk because they cant have the ads on it, you can get a custom app made that only works with A.org using the tapatalk engine. This can be sold in the app stores for a couple of bucks and you still get a chance to make some money.

Look into it, or I can help you if you like.

I don't like Tapatalk or any other "app" per se.  I find the entire concept entirely old fashioned and hackneyed, but Tapatalk is often the only solution for some places that aren't willing or technically able to build an auto sensing, native mobile site.

I like the way Reddit, The Verge, Digg, CNN, and virtually all other decent sites work.  If I visit on my PC, it looks normal.  If I visit on a mobile device, I get the same content, it's just presented in a mobile friendly fashion.  No rocket science.  No "apps" required.  No silly scrolling with your finger every 1.2 seconds, no two fingers monkeying around zooming.  It simply works, sees I'm on a mobile device then throws the proper version at me, easy peasy.

Around here, Tapatalk is about the best we can ask for, though.  I find myself using A.org about 5% of what I did say 18 months ago.  This is mainly because I've been working more and often my only devices on hand are mobile ones, and A.org is just god awful on smaller mobile devices.  It's usable on an iPad, but pretty rough on a smartphone.

I'd love to see a better mobile experience here at A.org, as I fear it is only a matter of time before I simply stop visiting in favor of the other Amiga sites that already support mobile well.

There's various vbulletin modules available that might be even easier and more elegant than Tapatalk that could be used, I suppose.
