From Admin: TapATalk - MOTUNATION on iPhone?

[James Steele]

Hey all. I got a message in my inbox earlier today from a user, suggesting an improvement to the board. I was skeptical at first, assuming that it would be a lot of work, but after investigating I think this might be a great thing to do and it's much easier than I had feared.

There's a company called TapATalk (http://www.tapatalk.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and they make an iPhone app that will let you read (for free with the Read Only version) or read and post (with the $2.99 version) any phpBB board which is what this is based on. And apparently all I need to do on my end is install their plug-in and it handles the rest. As I said, if you want to check it out you can go the the App Store and download the free version and you can see bulletin boards that are already on there (like OSX Audio) and what it looks like. There's also an app for Droid I believe.

Any way, as a recent iPhone owner, I'm really eager to add this as I find myself checking the board sometimes on my iPhone and I'm painfully aware of how difficult it can be to read forums like this in standard format meant for computers.

Any way, just wanted to let you know that I'm going to follow up on it, and hope to implement soon. Not sure yet what you have to do to get listed in the tapatalk app's listings-- haven't gotten that far yet, but it should be easy.

Hey this is great news! It is difficult to read these forums on an iphone, I do it when I'm stuck without a real computer. Everything is so small on the iphone, I find myself having to "pinch" expand everything to read it. Hopefully this little app will format it so it's easier. Thanks James!

Download the free version of the app at the Apple app store for yourself. You can go into the music section and read the OSX Audio forum for example. Everything formats automatically for iPhone and requires very little to install the plug in here. It looks like it works great and lots of boards like this are adopting this including Logic Users Group, etc..

I will try to get this added in the next day or two.

It is NOW OPERATIONAL. You can the "Tapatalk" app for the iPhone in the App store and use this board via iPhone!! Get the free version if you think you'll just read and not make posts. Otherwise the full version is just $299. You can find MOTUNATION by pressing "Network" in the tapatalk app, then look under "new" or choose "Browse" and then "Music" and scroll down.

Tapatalk RO is "Read-Only" and is the free version here:

Tapatalk is full featured and is $2.99 but it allows you to post, etc. and is here:

Let me know what you think!
