geep Posted August 3, 2011 #1 Posted August 3, 2011 Every once in a while when viewing this forum I get a pop up notification saying there is an app for viewing this on an iPad.....anyone used it and their thoughts? It is a paid app......
Scooter Bob Posted August 3, 2011 #2 Posted August 3, 2011 There's an App called tapatalk for viewing on smartphones. Costs a few bucks, but cleans up the screen just for viewing topics and threads easily. Maybe they have one for the Ipad! Later, Scooter Bob
Cougar Posted August 3, 2011 #3 Posted August 3, 2011 Same with my Android,, A $1.99 app. I was also wondering what it does I can view the site fine with out it myself. kind of annoying that it pops up all the time tho.
Freebird Posted August 3, 2011 #4 Posted August 3, 2011 OK....I THINK I just made a change so that Tapatalk will still work but you shouldn't get the annoying popups letting you know that it's available. You may have to clear your cookies for the change to take effect.
Freebird Posted August 3, 2011 #6 Posted August 3, 2011 I've never used it. I installed it at the request of some of our members. The way I understand it is that it reformats the site to make it fit better and be easier to read on smaller screens such as used on phones.
Scooter Bob Posted August 3, 2011 #7 Posted August 3, 2011 And what does it do for this site? IMHO, it's worth the 2 bucks. No need to scroll and zoom to look at threads and such. I'll see if I can take a couple pics of the forum on my phone with Karen's camera tonight. Later, Scooter Bob
geep Posted August 3, 2011 Author #8 Posted August 3, 2011 iPhone I understand but what does it look like on iPad? Sized to fit or that goofy 2X zoom?
GAWildKat Posted August 3, 2011 #9 Posted August 3, 2011 I only have it on my android phone, but it works well, I can ready the site easily without messing with zoom.
Primebeef Posted August 4, 2011 #10 Posted August 4, 2011 IMHO, it's worth the 2 bucks. No need to scroll and zoom to look at threads and such.

If you have an IPhone, by pressing the "Home" (big button at middle bottom of phone) and "Lock' (top right of phone) button at the same time, the phone will take a snap shot of the screen. The picture will be in your "Photos" folder (icon). This works on my IPhone 4.... Just a little trick I learned and like to pass along....
