Add Tapatalk support - Honda Pilot

bpjones · 08-08-2010, 12:59 PM

As an iPhone user, I would very much enjoy it if you would add the free compatability with the tapatalk platform. It costs next to nothing in time (aka configuration) and is totally free to implement. This would greatly make it easier to read the site on mobile devices. Http://www.Tapatalk.com.

Thanks!
Bryan

How does it work and help?

As an example, I have included some screenshots of the piloteers forum as seen through the safari web browser on my iPhone 4 in this post. The following post will contain screenshots of another forum as viewed through the tapatalk app.

The user experience on my iphone typically involves waiting for the entire page to load, with avatars, graphics, etc. to load, followed by a lot of pinching and zooming to read the articles. Not exactly ideal.

As promised, these screenshots were taken of another forum as viewed through the tapatalk iphone app. There are 2 versions of this app in the app store: 1 free, offers a read-only user experience and 2, a couple of bucks offers the ability to post to the forum.

Much easier to consume information from the forum as the content is formatted to natively fit on the mobile platform.

(I've heard there are also tapatalk apps for blackberry and android, though I haven't tried them myself.)

Screenshot 1: Shows list of forums/subforms
Screenshot 2: Shows list of threads in a forum
Screenshot 3: Shows a single thread selected

Thanks for your question and interest!

Thanks for the heads up on this app. Will download and try it.

Just realize that the forum owner has to add a tiny bit of configuration for the forum to become available in tapatalk...

Tapatalk is available for Android too. I would love to have support for it here.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. One of the primary reasons why we do not enable TAPATalk is because from a security standpoint, it does not meet our high standards. Don't fret though.. we will be releasing our own version of a mobile app to view the forums in the future.

OK, thanks for the update.

I've also noticed that the RSS feed doesn't appear to refresh automatically like it does for some other vB forums I frequent. Is that something you can look at for us?

Am I missing something obvious, or can you no longer edit/delete your own posts?
