What are some things you would like to see added to later versions of tapatalk? I figured this could help the devs with some things they may not of thought of yet. Support for smilies Who's online(WOL) with in the app. Private messaging A way to go to bottom/top of page with out scrolling.(maybe double tap of bottom/top of page)
Bring it on.. These will all get implemented but time and resource is always in constraint. We're working on the Private Messaging, and keep tweaking the UI so that it is easier to navigate when you have hundreds of posts within a topic... Hard to get it right the first time, and even the first few attempts...
facebook connect for each forum. there is already a mod that lets you do it on vb.org. doing it via the app would be nice too. also being able to register via the app seems like something that should be priority. would make getting new members a lot easier also. users could use the facebook connect to create new accounts also
We are looking into putting a button somewhere and to redirect user to your register.php page in safari. What do you think?
oh man i can tell u right now as an app freak i hate it when i get kicked out to safari. you think havin it with in the app will be a problem?
Hi iFonz, You don't get kicked-out, it will ask you if you want to exit the app, just like when you tap the URL link in the Thread viewing screen.
The ability to email a link via a button like safari Admin backend on the web side to set a few options. For instance, excluding forums from appearing via Tapatalk, ability to alter the 'Sent via Tapatalk' signature. I'd much rather have something in font point 1 at the top of the post saying 'Posted wirelessly using Tapatalk via iPhone' or something. Many forums have this for posts that were posted via mobile web browsers and it looks quite nice.
Doug, what do you mean by emailing a link? For the signature part yes we aware of the limitation, the next build will allow user to turn this completely off in "Settings". Anyway we took note on your suggestion. Thank you.
my wishes: -ability to shut off the "sent from iphone" tagline. -Maybe in the future, the option to pay more to remove the tapatalk branding and have an official app for my BB...in other words, it's still tapatalk, but branded with my forum's information, and downloadable in the app store under our name. Might be an extra revenue stream for you guys.
Mark, Yes you can turn this completely off via the "Settings" in iPhone, or is this not working?? Regarding the branded app, yes we received many requests and are aware of this. We will revisit it perhaps few weeks after the app is launch from the store.
I totally agree that making it feel more private to a site is a much better idea and something I personally would prefer. - Maybe in the meantime an alternative is to have an automatic sign-in to a particular favorite forum. - I would definitely like to see a chat. - Have the option to edit "sent from ......" text. - Editing a post is a MUST. - Changing the main icons of each forum "instead of the little microphone" I'll think of some more later.
The ability to save images to your phone like you can in safari by holding your finger on the image, then it asks you if you want to save it.
Hidden Forums Support We have to find a way to incorporate a hidden forum support system. I have tabs on my forum that call hidden forums. This is to keep the front page looking clean. These are simply images with a href statement that calls the forum ID. Without being able to see all the forums this is only good for new post and non-hidden forums. What say you?
I would love to see the option to display the year as part of the post timestamp. Especially once you enable a search function, it will be very important to display the year. And of course, increasing user settings is a must, including default number of posts displayed, the default message appended to a post (this one could also be controlled server side). If you wish to attract some of the bigger, commercial forums, making sure that tapatalk access to vbulletin is noted by google analytics is a must. That is the number one way we determine usage statistics and would decide whether we wish to continue supporting and advertising tapatalk. I've also mentioned elsewhere, admincp control of most of the settings is also important in the long run.
There should be a way to distinguish read and unread treads/posts within the forum hierarchal structure, perhaps somehow making use of the blue dot the iPhone mail app uses for read and unread mail. For instance, placing the blue dot next to a forum with new threads and placing it next to a thread that contains new replies. Subscribed forums Push notification for new replies made in subscribed threads. Ability to post and/or vote on polls and have the results show, although I'm sure this would be a difficult one to implement. When selecting on a user's threads and posts from their user page, going exactly to that thread/post and not to the top of the forum where that thread/post exists, which is the behavior now. Somehow letting one know if there have been any new threads/posts made in their favorite forums. Maybe placing the number badge on top of the forums icon listing the total number of threads & posts. This lets the user know to go in to a particular forum to look for new threads/posts, aided by the above suggestion of the 'blue dot' for unread threads & posts.
I seen a few sat quoting a post...I thnk that would be the main thing I would like to see... And how about being able to stay logged in? An edit button would be cool post preview...? ( if I repeated anything that was already said forgive me lol )
