THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN OUR MOBILE SITE AND OUR APP OR TAPATALK APP! MOBILE DOES NOT MEAN APP! READ ON!

The mobile version of REEF2REEF is way better than our own app or tapatalk! How do you use the mobile version? Simply open up google or your internet browser on your phone or tablet and type in www.reef2reef.com! That's it!

You can even add a icon on your mobile device just like an app so you can open R2R with ONE CLICK! (keep reading to learn how)

Why would you want to use the mobile version over the tapatalk app?

1. The mobile version looks better, way better! It fits your screen. (you can even rotate your mobile device for a bigger landscape view)
2. The mobile version includes all the options of the full forum. (new media add-on, articles section and more.)
3. The mobile version includes add-ons that don't work with tapatalk. (you're missing out)
4. The mobile version allows you to receive important alerts from us.
5. The mobile version allows you to see the latest contests and giveaways.
4. The mobile version allows you to customize your experience more.
5. The mobile version is more secure.
6. The mobile version doesn't rely on a third party provider.
7. At some point we may disable the option to use tapatalk for our forum.

And that is just a few reasons!

This is what it looks like on an iphone. It looks better on larger devices and well as when you turn your phone to landscape view!

If you open up your browser on your mobile device and type is Reef2Reef.com you can see the mobile version of the site. I highly encourage our mobile users to skip the tapatalk app and just use your browser to surf R2R.

Why? Because you get to really see all the things we have to offer and you don't miss anything!

Here is how you set up a link on your mobile device.


1. Go to your mobile browser and open up Reef2Reef.com or search Reef2Reef via your google app.

2. Click the little icon in the following photo. (you'll need to be scrolled to the top of the R2R page to see this share icon)

3. Next click the circled icon which will add a link on your home screen.

4. Change the name to shorten it to whatever you like. Maybe R2R. :)

5. Click ADD and enjoy! (I'm working on a better app icon. ;)

This may vary from device to device but it gives you the general idea!

For Android, follow these instructions:

I do! Only thing that is annoying is that the banner adds and the alerts overlap and so when you click alerts it will sometimes take you to the banner add that is behind it. Other than that the mobile site is excellent!

I only use the mobile site version. The apps are not nearly as functional IMO as the movie version of the site itself.

There's an app?

I tend to use my laptop, iPad and iPhone. I'd say the experience is about in that order too (from best to worst). I find the links a bit too small on the iPhone and I wind up hitting the banner at the top instead of the cedilla when I want to see the new posts.
