It provides super-fast access to your forum and allows your members to participate more in your forum while on the go.

Why Tapatalk?

• Forum API - build your own app or server-side integration with well-documented Tapatalk API, enjoy quality forum app from third-party developers, beyond what Tapatalk internal team can offer.
• Well-tested. This MOD has been installed in over 23000 forums, including some of the very large forums with 2 million members with over 10,000 online users. This app is designed to scale
• Tapatalk allows you to put your sponsored banner into the app so you don't lose potential revenue **NEW**

Supposedly when you have the BB version ready, how is your mod compared to this version https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=227794

Great work.

One question, do you think that you will be able to easily (and are you planning to) convert your code to support VB4?
I'm just asking because I don't want to release this mod publicly to my members if I have to drop the support in few weeks

Thanks again for your hard work.

We have just started looking into the work requires to port it to vb4 and we do plan to support it. I don't expect it is a huge undertaking as we have even ported this MOD to phpBB3 two months ago. In any case we are committed to vb4.0. Cheers...

I haven't have a chance to try the BB app but I believe there are rooms for multiple developers to contribute, the same way that there are multiple chatbox for vbulletin..

Our vision is to support majority of smartphone devices not limited to iPhone or BB only, and we are getting one step closer with recent release of Nokia S60 app.

Yellowpeter,

I'm very happy to hear that your app will support vB4. Our forum will be moving to vB 4 as soon as it goes to production and we're setting up a test site within the next few weeks. When do you plan to have a vB 4 beta version available?

Thanks and regards,

Dan.

Wasn't what I asked but thanks for answering
As the owner, I would prefer to have one vendor providing solutions to different phone platforms instead of one vendor for BB, one for iPhone, etc.

That's why we're watching your development closely. I just want to know how different the feature set for BB from you.

And it helps that the admin receive the product for free like the other mod.

[Quantnet]

Is your application forum focused?
What about sites that are using vbCMS, Wordpress, vbAdvanced for the portal?

If only we had Apple refrigerators, Apple cars, Apple homes, we'd all be happy people. We should never stray from Apple and we should make sure that all of our equipment only allows us to use other Apple equipment.

Stilling waiting for Apple approval. What bugs me is to see the crash reports (yah when the app fails it send the trace info to Apple server) and yet we can't get the update version of the people's hand.

You fail to appreciate that Apple wants what is best for us. What the world doesn't need is an app like yours which may make those people who read forums happy. No. What we need is yet another flashlight, fart application, silly game, or other worthless app.
