Changed post: I'm on android 2.2 HTC Desire almost entirely for my browsing now and BR works fine on it through the native internet app, pictures don't immediately format properly & it's occasionally very slow to type a reply. About 50% of the forums I look at nowadays try to make me install tapatalk so it may be considered a PITA to have to remember which are which aren't tapatalk then hop to Android internet for the others. I also feel that I need the limited space on my phone for adding Apps to significantly improve functionality, not just giving me 2 ways of doing much the same thing.
Mods have no power to do this, neither the forum admin - as in the other post, the main site admin need to look into it. I will pass the message on, I think Jeff is away at the minute.
Free mod for the forum IIRC but the app isn't. Convo does a decent job and is free.
Yep that's right. App is worth a couple of quid if used for multiple forums. Would be nice to have the option either way as it costs nothing to implement.
Really pleased this has attracted a lot of interest. I think it would be good for the forum and hope Jeff see's sense in adding Tapatalk compatability.

I'm not so sure its a good idea now! the themes in the updated version are horrific! seriously making my eyes bleed
Admin - are we ever going to see Tapatalk compatibility added as per this thread or is it time to start looking for a forum that I can use easily on the go that DOES support it?
Would be a shame to leave, I've learned a lot here.

the roadbikereview forum uses it -> lots of interesting stuff to read on there.
Thanks I will have a look. It seems clear now that those that can don't have the slightest interest in adding this much desired feature (or listening to their users). Disappointing to say the least.

A bit harsh - Jeff said he would look at it when he has time. I expect the "much desired" you refer to (read a very small handful of people - from this post) doesn't push this too much up his priority list and like the rest of us he has other work that needs to be done.
Hmmm, I disagree. Tapatalk is a very popular tool and would only serve to generate more traffic to / interest in an already great site. Adding tapatalk compatability is not at all difficult or time consuming and in my experience, most admins jump at the chance to improve their forums in any small way they can.
This topic ran for almost a month before my above post so it's not like I posted the request one day and chased it up the next. Had I done so I would concede to having acted a little hasty.
I would be able to frequent this forum far more often with Tapatalk compatability added - I suspect there are many in the same boat - even if they don't wish to make it known through this thread.
I don't understand much about this tool - and is certainly not up to me to fit it lol - but it looks like it will cost a fair few thousand dollars to implement?

Not at all ... had that been the case I could certainly understand any reluctance.
There is a free option which I understand is all that's required to have the forum show in the Tapatalk listings and enable use of this great forum through a mobile device - that's all it does, nothing complicated.

was just about to create a topic about this.
Its free so why not? http://www.tapatalk.com/pricing.php (although there are extra features if you pay..)
Tapatalk is free and a great tool for viewing forums on a smart phone. Honestly don't see any argument not to have it available!

Is it free? Not spotted that in Google Play, only a couple of quid tho.

Cracking, thanks for the update.
+1 again
was thinking about this the other day.
The point of a mobile site is to reduce the data used -> but you just end up loading the mobile page and then the desktop version.
So you actually use more data..

Anything from Jeff on this?

Don't know what the connection is so I may be barking up the wrong tree!
And it would not something Jeff would do.
Easy to add to a one off personal forum but when you have many sites and many fora.....
