thanks again for the great app. my users are really digging it and look fwd to future updates.

Thanks vbreal.

Yesterday we have just released an updated version on Apple app store with Spanish and German support included, plus few minor bug fixes. Make sure your member go grab the latest one.

We have been slowed down the development a bit to enjoy the rest of summer - and expect to get full stream again for the long-overdue features such as Pagination, Image Upload and Push Notification.

Plus we received some crash report and will look into it ASAP.

installed, running, and i can confirm -it's awesome!-

*Tagged for future use.

I will wait until you support more platforms then just iPhone. Do you have plans for Windows Mobile?

[yellowpeter]

Android is in active development - our goal is to cover as much smartphone as possible but need to balance our time and resource.

If everyone sits and wait now we will never get there

Is there any update on the ability to attach and, or include photos as post attachments to VBulletin posts via Tapatalk?

[ibeteck]

Is there any way of it not revealing the hidden section of my forum. I went in there and it showed all of the hidden threads.

[Kronan]

It's not letting me reply to any threads or posts, any idea how to fix this?

[mikeo9043]

is the Board Stats part only apart of the newest iPhone version, not the one that's released right now?

Hi pjcnlv,

We have started looking into it and what I can share is that this feature should be avilable in October time-frame, after we got the Push notification going in September.
