We've finally gotten around to implementing Tapatalk, apologies for the delay. We'll let it test for a few weeks before making a permanent decision.

Tapatalk is a mobile app for smartphones that makes accessing forums easier on a smaller screen by dispensing with all content apart from the actual posts.

You can get the app from the Android / IOS appstore for £1.99.

Thanks for putting this on, it makes life so much easier.

Not very techy me what is this??

[ChuckMcB]

Ahh, Mr Admin's added a description for you Glenn.

As well as the native Tapatalk client, on Android there is another (free!) one you can use called Convo. Just loaded it up and it's looking good.

Makes the forum look a bit less fugly (before and after pics.
   

Zap this to get Convo

Oh this tap talk app is the job.  Makes everything much easier to view. 

[LennyJ1]

Sure does Claire.

[KyleL]

On it now. It's fantastic.

[Glenn B]

Just downloaded the app great and easy to use but the only thing is a lot of peoples user names have changed anyone else notice this???

Looks fine with Android Offical Tapatalk app.

Which app/OS are you using?

Blackberry. Avatars are the same just name changes. Your commin up as ChuckmcB

[KyleL]

On IOS it is fine until you click the avatar, then you see the alternate name which in Chucks case, is ChuckMcB.

Weird, not sure what's going on there. Blackberry must be picking up personal account names as public screen names.

[ChuckMcB]

Yes, that would be a bit sh1t (as Kyle says) it's pulling the Username, rather than the display name....I always thought the Username was a private 'setting' I know I can only see my own.

Seems the offical BB app is not under active development anymore: link

I can't find anyway to give karma through tapatalk. Anyone know? Or is it just not possible?

[ChuckMcB]

Kyle: which device&app are you using? (Oh yes, iOS..sorry)

Official android app doesn't allow karma...nor does it allow you to mark a thread as unread..

A few minor issues - but on the whole I'm pretty pleased with how it's looking.

If you're an Android user you can add a direct shortcut to ni wild to your home screen. Go to the add widget menu, add "tapatalk forum" and pick NI wild. I have it a wee drawer for two tap access:
