-

Okay--dumb question of the day, WTF is Tapatalk and why would I want to put it on my smartphone?--I just got one :D and am completely and totally challenged--today I couldn't answer a phone call :o. Solved that one.

It's an app (application) that makes it easier to use the forum on your smartphone versus using the browser on the smart phone.

Thanks--anything to make that easier--never realized my fingers could be so big and clumsy. I'm assuming you've vetted the app for problems and that it is a reliable product, I have heard for Android users there are issues with the apps being offered by some developers.
-
Should it be the free one or the $2.99 one?

I think there are free versions, but the actual Tapatalk app cost $2.99.
-
It's worth the $2.99, I use it on a total of three forums now including SBG.
-
Looks good. Thanks for the tip. O0
-
Another reason to ditch my Blackberry...it's $3.99.
-
Can any tapatalk users upload some pics of what SBG looks like on it? I'm considering the app.
-
Pictures come up on the Android version--the only difficulty is replying through the app--but that's just me and my undeveloped skills in key entry. Over all a pretty good thing to have on the phone.
-
This is my first post with
Tapatalk. I got it for my Touch rather than my Blackberry at this point, but will probably put it on my phone when I upgrade it in the near future. Thanks for bringing this app to our attention PigPen!

Tapatalk is worth the money simply because the single purchase works on all Tapatalk-enabled sites. Apologies to the three guys in the screenshot who will forever have their posts at the forefront of an unrelated topic.

For anyone having an issue with typing on the touchscreen phones, there are stylus out there, both Best Buy and Staples has them that should help out

My typing is becoming better very quickly & now I've got to set up the "learn" feature to customize voice recognition. These phones are fantastic--originally, although I needed a new phone, I was wondering if I'd "over bought." At nearly two weeks I'm totally addicted to the Razr--and the BB sits on the desk. The BB is a company phone but everything is now forwarded to my Razr--so much better.
-
If you're not scared of them, the current run of handsets (no longer phones, as such) can be quite useful. I run two businesses from mine and am able to do everything from KVM into servers for remote control to real-time video support to simple navigation. I'm an early adopter and have become a small bit dependent on it.
You could also try a slider keyboard like Swype or Slide-It. They can be more accurate at times and are actively learning all the time. Regardless of input method, Tapatalk can be an addictive piece of software if you're into active forums.
-
Tapatalk works great for me. Worth the $.

Thanks for the screen shot. Based on that and the rave reviews, I may just have to download it.
-
If you're an active forum user, it's worth it. Most people have paid for dumber things.

Less than three bucks--not an expense to get your shorts twisted about!
-
I guess the next step would be for all you guys to move in together . :D ::) >:D
-
I have no spare rooms. :x!

I downloaded the app to my Kindle Fire today. Probably should have downloaded it to my phone instead. I'm not sure I like it. The layout will take some getting used to.
-
I'll think about it when I finally get an iphone, for now I have enough trouble trying to get used to my Kindle Fire, sheesh!
Any pointers Razor?

Just practice. I got one for my dad for Christmas and he's been struggling with it, too but I think he's finally getting the hang of it.

Works good on my iPad but issues on my new iPhone.

No problem Arnie! Quite valuable I think. I use it on three forums including this one.
-
Use it on my iPhone 4s and love it.
-
Typing this from the app - I just downloaded. One thing to note is that it is a universal app on iOS devices. Having to purchase it twice for my two iOS devices was my main hesitation with trying it. With it being universal I can put it on both with just one purchase price :)
My initial impression is that it is a good app.

It's only universal with iOS and not Android?

Not sure. I don't have any android devices.

So how did you get it from one device to the other without purchasing it again?
-
You just "buy" it again. Since I already bought it initially, the iOS app store treats it like I am just installing it again. I think the app store actually allows an app to be installed on up to five devices per apple ID legally.
-
Android-wise, the purchase is tied to your account. As long as you use the same account on multiple devices you're fine.

Sounds similar to Apple in that regard

I like tapatalk and use it several times a day. But...I don't like the tiny profile pictures on a site like this one. I'm using the app on my iPad and even using the app's largest font (which I think increased the profile pictures a little bit) they are still so small as to be almost worthless. I want to see the bald guys here and so I have to return to this site using a browser to see a decent sized picture. A bit inconvenient!

Use Tapatalk all the time... Great app and glad I can use with SBG. ;)
-
yes I like it a lot on my ipad

Use Tapatalk on my iPhone. Great app.
Using it right now. Riding the London Tube and heading home.
-
Use it on the iPod but again, I wish you could view larger pictures
-
I vote for larger pictures too!
-
To the guys with iPads: Do you think it is much better that the browser for this forum?
-
Can't speak on iproducts, but for android it works well. Most convenient when using my phone but IMHO, you can't beat the good 'ol browser...
Just my. 02 cents
-
works ok on my ipad the only minor crit is the avatars are a bit small on an ipad
-
Thanks guys! I supse I will get it and try it out it's only a few dollars!
I typically not a cheap person (by all means not rich either) I just hate paying for apps :/O I know!
-
One thing to note is that the iOS version is a universal app. So if you have multiple devices you can buy it once and install it on multiple devices.
-
Android apps are tied to your Google account... Which can be installed on different devices as well.

Thanks guys!

It's all good Doug! If you have any questions, let me know...I'm by far no android EXPERT but Im pretty sure I can get you answers or at least point you in the right direction. 8)

Just happy to stay on SBG forum via Tapatalk, whenever and wherever I want !

Exactly!

I just downloaded this for my android phone. I think I like the app better on the droid than iOS. Its cheaper on the droid to boot
-
Could the fact that the forum now supports Tapatalk be placed somewhere prominently? Like a button or something similar on the header section of this forum?

Nice suggestion Doug! You sshould PM Tyler with the suggestion since he would be the one to have to do that.
-
Good suggestion. When you try to login to the site with your mobile phone or tablet it actually pops up a window telling you that Tapatalk is available if you're using a browser.
I'll see where I can make it more noticeable for those accessing through a PC.
-
Is anyone else having Tapatalk issues since the site was unavailable this afternoon?
-
What kind of issues?
-
It said something about the forum plugin not working. But it seems to be working now as I am posting this with Tapatalk. :)
-
I read today in the news that "Go Daddy" had thousands of their sites down.
-
Cool! Glad it's working for ya Doug8)
-
Working fine here aswell.
-
Hey guys, the entire site was down today due to the hack on GoDaddy.
-
Well I'll be dipped...the local news was correct about Go Daddy. Up 'n' running today!

Do any of you that use Tapatalk on the iPad use the HD iPad version? I got a iTunes card for Christmas and was thinking of using it on that. Any thoughts on the app?
-
Well I went ahead and bought the HD app. It is a much better viewing experience as compared to the non-HD. Worth the money IMO.
-
i just upgraded too!
-
Really, it's that much better? Hmmmm....maybe I should :/
-
What are the improved features? I would spring for it if the posters' profile pictures are larger!
-
I'll post some comparative screen shots of the old and new versions so you can judge for yourself.
-
Excellent...thanks!

Picture, as promised...
Here's the forum's latest threads and comments on the regular version of Tapatalk.

Here's the same information as viewed through Tapatalk HD.

Basically, I would compare the HD version to an email program. You have the latest threads on the left side of the screen and the posts within that thread on the right.
The one down side I see to the HD version is that it isn't a universal app (at least in the iOS App Store) like the non-HD version is. Tapatalk HD is for the iPad and Tapatalk 2 (which appears to be like Tapatalk HD) is for the iPhone/iPod.
This is my take on Tapatalk HD. I have no experience with Tapatalk 2.
-
Thanks Doug, might splurge and get it!
-
Ive been thinkingabout buying this app for my iphone but have been a little leary about it, but now after reading these posts i think i will. just another reason why SBG is awesome! thanks fellas!

I do recommend Tapatalk for your iPhone. It's a good additional way to participate on the SBG forum.
Using Tapatalk right now !

I use tapatalk on my galaxy note 2, its great, easy to use and a lot easier than using the website on a smartphone
