"Tapatalk"?

[Ivo]

All too often posts apepar on this forum with the following appendix:

"Sent from my ---------- using Tapatalk"

A few examples:

What exactly is Tapatalk? Is it some kind of add-on for a Smartphone or something?

Please elaborate...

P.S.: Apologies to those whose posts have been "swiped" for this.

Its a smartphone App that many of us use to browse the forum. I find it better than the 'official' App.

That signature is posted automatically when you use the free App. When you pay the £1.69 (well it was when I purchased it) it disappears and you can't tell what it was posted from.

I think I'm going to start saying "sent from my computer using the Keyboard".

I just browse the forum normally on my phone's browser, which is simpler than any app I've seen...

iPhone requires pinching in and out all the time, and it loads all the themes/avatars etc.

Tapatalk is minimal, everything reconfigured for browsing on a phone and lots of things are easier, ie rather than having to navigate to send PMs a simple hot button will do it.

It is rare I browse the forums on my computer now, it is almost always done on the go via Tapatalk.

I use the mobile web version, mainly because the app doesn't have the direct access to new posts.

Is it weird that my first thought when I clicked that was "It looks so wrong in Tahoma, I preferred it in Droid Sans"?

Click the link in post #7 to fix it (although it might override your skin preference).

If I'm out and about I tend to use the app for a quick check, or if I'm on a long journey I use the wonders of a mobile internet dong and my laptop.

Out of interest, how many style IDs are there?
