Anyone ever tried using the Tapatalk app for this forum? How do you like it and what are you're thoughts? I find to be alright on my phone after switching the theme to dark and configuring the settings just how I want it. Wish it worked more like an actual forum app rather than being similar to the other popular social apps on google. But forum runner stopped getting updated for Android so it does fine enough to live with and saves a little data.
 
I tried it, but it only seemed to load like 4 forum areas. Tried to figure out how to get all the forum areas to show, but no luck. Do all the different forums show for you? Is this a setting?
 
I have tried "Tapatalk" on several forums, and never been impressed with it. Seems it limits what I can do, compared to the regular full site.
 
I thought the same thing when I was using Tapatalk, but I figured out its just because of the new format that they are using. You can click on the top of the screen where it says Vandwellers Commmunity and a drop down menu will appear with all the main topics and then from there you can click on those to see all the sub forums.

Yup that pretty much covers it. Only issue I had was getting my profile to load in it.
 
It's ok. Good if you surf multiple forums. I use about 4
 
I use it all the time. I especially like the "New" page that lets me see all the new messages. I think it works even better than the "View New Posts" page in MyBB. It also has a "Mark all read" button, which MyBB doesn't have.

Yeah and also instant notification of replies as well. Normally my email notifications can take a while. Also don't like having my inbox flooded.

Oh, I turn off all the notifications. I am in the app or on the web site multiple times a day now, so I don't need no stinking notifications.

Awesome. Gotta start doing that myself, I have too much free time these days.
 
Stores and sizes pic's also. Keeps record of which posts have been read.
