Grant,

HUBB behaves on my Samsung Galaxy as countless other BB´s - I need to zoom in, out, scroll etc. to read one single post. That´s one of the probs one hates when standing on a border crossing in the rain with minimal signal and hoping to find a quick answer to an imminent problem. So if Tapatalk or ForumRunner will eliminate this, it´s a good feature to implement.
Which version comes cheaper to us out here should not matter in the end, as I assume many of us use other BB´s as well which use either of the above. We´re talking a couple of bucks for the user only, anyways. Lesser use of bandwidth / traffic will be more user-friendly to those of us who have to rely on data transfer via phone connection in remote areas, so bf&u hi-res "sponsor" advertisements with naked girls may be cheaper for you but expensive for the user, so depending on the size/frequency of the ads it may in the end be a bad choice.
Cheers
Chris

I use Tapatalk currently but I'm more than happy to give Forum Runner a blast if that's chosen.

Both are very useful to avoid the zooming/scrolling about stuff mentioned in the last post

I have just started using tapatalk and so far reckon it is great I have 4 forums on it at present and I now read and post a lot more on those forums because of the ease to access them.

i use both, both are good, tapatalk is a little bit cleaner , better overview of threads , so go for it, this forum definetly needs one of those !

Tapatalk makes forum reading much easier on my Motorola Razr Maxx. The format of www. doesn't fit the screen making it difficult to read. The smart phone was purchased to streamline my packing by carrying one device instead of carrying a separate phone, computer, camera, mp3 player, chargers for all the above and reading material.

I have no experience with Forum Runner.

I use Tapatalk on my iPhone a lot. I access 5 forums regularly and to be honest prefer to access those forums via Tapatalk than my Laptop's browser. Accessing the forums via 3g is a genuine prospect and a pleasant experience compared with browsing using Safari (or equivalent) and 3g.

I never even notice adverts on tapatalk, which on a couple of the forums are a PITA when going via the laptop browser.

No experience of any other mobile browser though.

Are we 'there' yet? !!

Grant Johnson 20 Aug 2012 19:10

not yet! It's going to be at least a month, more likely two. I'm off to CanWest tomorrow, then surgery immediately I get back, and I'll be out for a few weeks. Just trying to keep up right now is tough, much less add in and test new features. :( And it's going to be worse over the next month of course.
It's high on the list!

sounds like a few 'ouches' in the wind
Head up, think of it like having to ride over mont blanc on Yam serow - clutch out then wring the nuts off it (if you'll pardon the pun! :blushing:) and you'll get over it:clap: and come out sleeker, faster and happier- Fingers crossed.

I've just bought TAPTALK on my phone. I've been holding off as £1.99 seemed too expensive lol.

Just given it a whirl on the ABR forum and it works GREAT. Much much easier to keep up to date.

For anyone who hasn't used tapatalk, using your phone browser is NO WAY as simple or fast. I have a nice Android phone and forums are still a total pain on it without Taptalk.

It would be totes amazeballs if Horizons was supported on it too. :smartass:

I use tapatalk on my iphone4 for several forums and it works brilliantly well - so much better, quicker, easier than using a web browser or safari.
If HUBB was available on tapatalk I know I'd frequent the site a lot more than I currently do :thumbup1:

Tapatalk every time for me - works very well

Wheelie 9 Oct 2012 20:33

I've got Tapatalk, and I only use it for forums that I use frequently. I do think this is a route to go eventually, but I think it is a bit early as the adoptation among the general population is still low.

Everyone that visits the www on a pad or smartphone will get prompted about the app every time, and for many this will be just annoying if they don't have the app or don't want to get it.

If the HUBB was apped, I would use it. But my gut feeling is that it will be an added benefit to a few like me, and a nuisance to many. Maybe in a year or three...

Any update on this..

I'd LOVE to see the hubb on Tapatalk.


A lot of people only travel with smartphone's these days. Wifi in a cafe and HUBB on tapatalk would be a blessing.

I would not mind at all if Tapatalk was implemented. Great app that makes things much easier when on a smartphone. We run Tapatalk on several forums I´m involved in and the installation is easy. 1 hour at the most. Did it on a forum where I am admin. No problems at all and it is great for smartphone users. MUCH easier navigation around the forum than using a regular browser.

My two cents.

Sincerely//Jan
