R2R App and Tapatalk Users Are Missing Out

[I'm a natural blue]

I am so glad you posted this @revhtree! I recently downloaded the app and while I'll love being able to recieve mobile alerts, I wasn't excited about the app. overall. The mobile version is so much better! Is there a way to receive alerts other than email?

love the full site in the browser and while i have tapatalk, i never use it.

one thing i noticed is going from portrait to landscape and back the screen doesn't fully expand on the return to portrait. i can zoom in and everything is fine though. i'm using an iphone 6+ with latest updates. not a big deal but i'm wondering if anyone else has this issue?

I prefer the mobile version for sure but the one thing I hate is that I can't attach photos to post directly from iOS Camera Roll. Every time I've tried, I get a "unsupported file type," so not sure if there is something can be done about that ;)

Edit: here's an example when I try to upload a photo.

I've always used the mobile version. Never knew I could add a link to my home screen though (I'm new to the iPhone). Thanks for sharing.

I was using the app because I get notifications about content but the app wasn't updating properly. I'd get notifications and nothing would be updated. Was a PITA...

Now using mobile and it's soooooooo much better although I miss the notifications

@revhtree The mobile version is perfection!

So where's my "R2R Mobile User" tag?:):p:)

I upload photo's from my iphone all the time, I've never received that error.

Been using the mobile version for a really long time!

David is the only one who owns an app that encourages people not to use it.[emoji38]

Taptalk sucks anyway

 

[Dsnakes]

Mobile version is the way to go! @revhtree from the looks of that screenshot, you better start checking some messages! ;)

 

[Scurvy]

Done. Tapatalk removed from phone.

PS: You or whomever took those screen shots have some messages you need to get after!

 

[iemsparticus]

Yup... it's what I use! :)

 

[buzzword]

Been using it for awhile now.

I have to agree - the mobile site is fantastic. Literally 99.5% of all of my activity here is on the mobile app!

I tried so hard but I can't get it to work on my phone and the sales guy told me it's the newest of the latest..........

Just gave this a try and the mobile site is much better than the R2R app. Thanks for pointing this out.

Is there a way to receive alerts other than email?

not really, that's the only "hole" IMO. I keep Tapatalk around because they have implemented "persistent" push alerts. What that means is that when you are watching a thread, you get a push alert for every single reply, whether or not you have visited the forum since the last reply. So you'll get an email for the newest one since you last viewed, but after that you don't get another email until you view the specific thread. Tapatalk serves that purpose for me, and that purpose only.

I only use TT when I have to view a thread via my phone on a forum that doesn't use Xenforo. Because, the 90s are over man. Over.

Yeah I've never seen that either...pretty odd
