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?

• Only one MOD installation to support all mobile devices including iPhone, Android, WebOS, Windows Phone 7 and BlackBerry.
• 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

of your existing forum code and configuration. Simply follow the procedure below:

it should be placed at http://www.mysite.com/forum/mobiquo/.


Step 3

This mod just underscores the need for a "Paid Modifications" forum. By the time this thing gets released, it will be taken off of VB.org and moved to some 3rd party site where fewer people will find it. That will lead to less revenue for the author, lower incentive to fix bugs and add enhancements, and within 6 months this project will be dead.

This mod DEFINITELY looks like it will be worth paying a small monthly fee to use. It would be a shame for the VB community not to fully know about it because it's not on this site.

Thanks everyone, the Pilot forums recruitment is now closed due to overwhelming responses so far - the objectives of this pilot is to have a dry-run of the service on real server and we feel that so far with about 30 forums, it came to a point that it has fairly good representation of different kind of forums (and different server configurations) with different languages.

We have just released the Create / Reply functions support to all the pilot forum owners and is awaiting for further inputs from them and we expect to finish the beta in next two weeks.

Thanks again for everyone's support, stay-tuned to the official release.

A price point would be nice.

Our forum is a local auto related forum w/less than 100 active users....however several have expressed interest...I hope the pricing is competitive for us "smaller" guys.

Give us some more time to finalizing last bit of information - you will have full access to all information (i.e. price) very soon folks..
