TapaTalk - Opinions
Hello everyone,

With the release of the responsive design ready to be released soon, we would like peoples opinion on the support of TapaTalk.

With the responsive design, the forums and website will display correctly regardless of if you are using a phone, tablet or pc. There will be no need to zoom in or out as it will automatically adjust itself to suit. Having said this, it will allow more features to be accessed that TapaTalk does not do (such as the ability to "like" a post").

Is there a reason those of you who use TapaTalk use it? Assume that when you visited The Reefuge in your phones / tablets browser it was as if you were using a mobile app. It displays properly, and allows you access to all the features. Will you still use tapatalk?

Thanks.

I use tapatalk as I find the browser on my phone fairly unbearable to use for any site - mobile skinned or otherwise. I also use other forums through the same software, so having a consistent app that allows to use both, to receive notifications in real time is far more ideal than using a browser.

I use Tapatalk because I actually prefer the format to a webpage, and as stated above I also use it for other Forums.

Please support/enhance it.

I only use tapa as its to hard to zoom in.

If the new skin works like the normal forum and I don't have to zoom I'd use it for sure.

Hi macca_75,

We can not enhance tapatalk. It is a third party product not controlled by us. Thus, we are unable to add features to it. This is why the website being mobile compatible is so important.

Thanks.

i find tapatalk to be super responsive on my phone so i use it for checking posts, also being able to upload pictures through it is awesome!

if we could get the browser looking nice and basic and loading quick i would use it. although we wouldnt be able to upload from phones would we as it doesn't negotiate with the phones software.
