    Re: Tapatalk - thoughts?

    I use the desktop version on my Windows Phone also.

    Apparently Tapatalk has improved recently and they in the process of unifying a common app product across the three platforms now that Windows Phone is finally gaining momentum.

    Apart from forum aggregation using a common user interface....there is a question of trust from the software vendor with regards to their data collection interest.

    So my question for members is why Tapatalk?

    Re: Tapatalk - thoughts?

    Am using it on my iPhone. Prefer it to the desktop version - ease of accessing unread/timeline/participated sections.

    PM function works well.

    Search function not that great esp the 30 second minimum time between searches.

    What would a dedicated app offer?

    Computer Audiophile had a dedicated app. I found it a chore (being lazyTapatalk - thoughts?) to have to switch between the CA app and Tapatalk (where I could view most of the audio forums in one app).

    I'm surprised more don't use Tapatalk. Trying to understand the resistance.

    I was a late adopter.

    The Crackberry did not have a Tapatalk app so the mobile sites were better.

    With Android and iOS phones, Tapatalk offers an easier, more accessible, experience. I rarely use the desktop AS now.

    One issue though might be the font/screen size to some.

    I use Tapatalk about 75% of the time. Just about every forum that I read and/or participate on has a Tapatalk interface.

    Tapatalk almost exclusively. No issues except wondering if there is a way to display signatures.

    I'm old. I like Tapatalk on my enormous Android phone. I'm fed up with Windows and the endless parade of inexplicable glitches.

    Tapatalk makes multiple fora easy to follow.

    I think the website works fine on modern smartphones.

    An app is something more that you would have to maintain. Perhaps the next version of vBullitin will support the current Bootstrap 4 mobile HTML framework which would give it an any device app scaleability feel. Then all you have to do is publish an app wrapper on the three stores to help broaden YOUR OWN audience.

    Last time I looked at Tapatalk, I was concerned about privacy issues and image upload control and ownership. Things may have changed since I looked at it last.

    Steve.......
    I agree. Tapatalk accesses your contacts, your location, and can read, modify or delete contents of your SD card. No need for any of that when I can access the website without the app.

    I just want to ensure you guys have everything you need. I know it's summer, but posts are down. So, I thought maybe the way you access AS is not as easy and smooth as it could be.
