What is Tapatalk?

Tapatalk is a vBulletin mod that allows your users to browse your forum using a native mobile application. Tapatalk supports iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, webOS and Windows Phone 7. 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**
• Analytics support - you get too see how many users are accessing your forum from the Tapatalk app

Hi,

You don't put it in your directory, you can simply ask your members to point their Nokia device to http://www.tapatalk.com/nokia/tapatalk.dm and it should install automatically.

We will put it in Ovi Store shortly

[Baldilocks]

Cool. Thank you!

[yellowpeter]

We have just released the Android app (Beta 2) in the Market! Grab your copy now if you have Android phone!

[yellowpeter]

I really like the fact that you can instantly release the app to the Android market without review - Now we just pushed the latest and greatest to Android Market as Beta 3. We will update you again as soon as new version is ready.

Private Messaging is currently in development in Android. Expect to see this in next few weeks. hopefully before Christmas

I would love to see a more stable version of this for the iphone, on my 3GS it never actually goes to the last post unless I click the post (which takes me to a much earlier post) and then go back, then click on it again. It also tends to crash if you move too quickly in there.

Nice to see Symbian included for once. This is a great mod.

Hey Eric, are you able to send me the URL of which topic/threads in your forum that's causing the issue? Are you using the latest MOD version?

For the crash yes we are able to reproduced it two weeks ago and an updated version is again submitted to Apple for approval.

Glad you like it. We are about to submit the app to Nokia Ovi Store in next few days so hopefully it make the distribution easier. Right now your members have to point their nokia device to http://www.tapatalk.com/nokia/tapatalk.dm to install it.

Tapatalk iPhone 1.5 is released at app store! Download it and it should solve 70% of the crashes you have!
