iPhone app for forum

[tuppaware]

First time tonight I tried to view the site on my iPhone it prompts me to download an iPhone app to view the site in a iPhone friendly format .

Is the forum setup for this app?

Was it Tapatalk?

Was it Tapatalk?

ahh that's it!

I was unsure if it's only for gold members or something

 

[straitman]

Was it Tapatalk?

... and if so then I believe the answer is yes.

I have not bothered as I find the forum works quite well from Safari on the iPhone.

 

[S.A]

Same. Plus only the paid version of the app lets you post, I think.

You can post from Safari on the iPhone. Doing so now.
Tho I think it's much easier from a "real" computer.

Agreed.

Never had a prompt such as that, but I do have the mobile version of the site bookmarked and never log out on my iPhone.

I’ll try the free version out but it would be useful if there was an announcement about this somewhere, as it’s clearly been “enabled”.

Well, I re mortgaged the house and forked over the $3.95 for tap talk - its a great app

It allows far easier use of the site than say safari, and allows multi forums which you can easily switch between

so far - (approx 5 days) 8.5/10

Mr!

I bought after I posted too, and it seems to be pretty decent value. Haven’t had time to fully explore it all yet, but browsing worked well, and I’m sure posting will when I’m in bed later

It’s a shame FT doesn’t use it, but then I guess I’d need to buy a subscription to be able to use it as it’s a no-ad app.

Gee, it didn't take long for you all to discover AFF on Tapatalk

Yes, we have enabled AFF to run on the Tapatalk system. The reason why there hasn't been an announcement is because we are still trialing the system. (There are certain commercial and technical considerations which we are working through.) And, if you want to post or use the PM system, you will have to purchase their application. Some members might not want to purchase Tapatalk while it is being trialed on AFF.

Note that you purchase the app from Tapatalk - not AFF. We don't receive any payment/commission.

I assume you have you own iPhone to test on?

Worked quite well for me last night though did have to refresh a page a couple times to get it to display.

I'll have a crack at testing this app out with the forum on the Symbian platform, happy to report back test results.

 

[jsd]

I there a symbian version of Tapatalk?

Don't really want to fork out for an iphone if my trusty E63 will do the job

There is a Symbian version, it's available from the Ovi Store, AUD4.

Downloads like most apps from Ovi are flaky, so be prepared to try it a few times before you can finally download and install it.

Its still pretty new, has been on the market for +/- 3mths. Feature set seems incomplete, but it will do what you want, which is browse the forums, respond to post, and access latest threads.

Have found that occasionally the "new posts" have returned no results and just displayed a blank page. Considering I had a heap of credit on my iTunes account that was all 50% or more off retail price, this app is great for only $2

 

[tuppaware]

Thats it, I'm downloading it!!

I want my ipad , so I dont have have to use my iphone for it.... Such an apple fan boi

Testing it now, it works well.

I guess it must work on Rss fields Admin ???

In saying that, are there any public XML/rss feeds for AFF? I might whip up a php/asp script for fan website digestion.

The standard vbulletin feed would be http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/community/external.php?type=rss
