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?

June 2nd and still not on the app store

[PixelFx]

They are working on it, few things left to be fully up and running, its a process to be accepted on the apps store. But things moving along great.

[yellowpeter]

looks like we are worser than Microsoft releasing Windows 95. Yah sorry folks another unexpected delay!!!!!

[PixelFx]

I added us, just need app now lol its all growing pains so no worries, you guys working on something great!

[yellowpeter]

Can't believe we are still waiting for Apple.

The upside is that we fixed even more bugs and the private message feature is close to finish (minus the Push Notification part). Yesterday we sent out the latest stable built to some 30 forum owners to trial.

If any of the forum owners here still interestred to join and get a copy of this app with your own forum, you can now go to add your forum to the list to be visible on iPhone.

the purpose of the list is to allow zero configuration at iPhone to connect to your forum - in fact once the app established connection to your forum, it is a direct data connection between your device and your forum. In case you are security/privacy minded.

also we are adding an option that your forum is only be "searchable" and is hidden from the public directory, if you need this option, drop us an email and we can do it manually for you.
