Tapatalk vs OPEforum App

[exCanuck]

Tapatalk will soon be disabled due to its security and privacy issues, and after just two days of using it, our server is already reporting code warnings.

Our OPEforum app can now be installed on Android devices as well as Windows & Mac computers. Yes, you can run it as an app on your computer too!

If you're using an iOS device or Apple Phone,

There won't be an App Download button or link visible to your iPhone. So, to use our forum app, TFN, your iOS device will have to be using Safari. You'll need to click "Share" followed by "Add to home screen". There's no iOS support for other browsers. but that might change with the release of iOS 16.4.

Thanks for the information.
I’ll look into the OPE app.

Steve what’s different about the app vs. just viewing the site in a browser?

Where do I find the app for Android?

I appreciate the warning that Tapatalk is being disabled soon. I prefer using Tapatalk on my phone. It's not perfect but easier for me to navigate than using the browser version. When AS disabled Tapatalk they felt it wasn't important to notify users. A lot of us were in the dark as to what happened and left in the cold as to access. I will look for the OPE app. I didn't see it on Google Play yet. Thanks for creating an alternative to Tapatalk. The OPE staff are top notch!!

Not much, except possible better fit on screen, and a quick launch icon onto phone's home screen

On phone, expand 3 lines in top left corner (aka hamburger menu); look at bottom of pop out menu for App button.

Not in Google Play store... On your phone, when visiting this site, expand 3 lines in top left corner (aka hamburger menu); look at bottom of pop out menu for App button.

I downloaded a TFN app and it won’t open on iPhone.
Confusing but I’m known to be simple!

By TFN, I meant 'til further notice. As in, there won't be an iPhone app until further notice.

Ok got it now!
Thx!

This sucks. Tapatalk was ad free. Now, lots of ads.

I know, but ads support this VERY expensive to operate forum. BTW, GoldMembers don't see most of the ads.

Tapatalk access will END March 30th.

As a gold member, I see very few ads. And...its cheap like me !!!

Said it before but I've been using chrome on my phone and it's basically ad free. The only downside is I sometimes end up with a bunch of pages open but that's really not a big deal.

Is the layout any different as a Goldmember or does it just cut out the ads?

I'm not sure honestly. I've been a Goldmember since it was launched.
