The Reef2Reef Tapatalk App is going to be disabled soon...

That's a bummer, it's convenient having multiple forums accessible in on location. When is this effective?

Good decision! thank you.

 

[Peace River]

Good call! Thank you for looking out for the R2R community!

I know it stinks. We're going to start limiting it over the next couple of days. Please give the mobile version a good try!

Thank you

No problem, I value my privacy and knowing what Taptalk is doing I may look for alternatives on how to access my other stuff without them. I am here to stay!

 

[cjpitt80]

Serioulsy? I LITERALLY just downloaded the app Sat LOL
But hey, I'm all for no selling of info. Thanks guys

 

[Quietman]

Excellent decision and member communication!!! I removed Tapatalk a while ago from my phone ago because I suspected something like this. Thanks for having our backs!

 

[PanchoG]

I think is unfortunate but necessary to drop Taptalk. It is going to impact me as I have other things in Taptalk.

By the way, the R2R web mobile app rocks, specially the dark version.

 

[ReeferReefer]

I understand why you guys are doing this but it really sucks. Especially when there is a lack of dedicated alternate options. Simply put, using the web browser to view a message board like this is a sub par experience on mobile.

For all the problems it might have, Tapatalk provides a much superior way to access the forum while on the go. I guess that I will be using this site less as a result, since all my other boards use it still. Sucks but I can still use desktop and occasional mobile browser.

I really hope that @revhtree will at least consider other options when it comes to mobile users.

I have the R2R app on my phone and it is Android. I use Tap2Talk as well. Mainly I like the notifications I get. I was just on the App is there a way to get notification pop ups on my phone like with Tap2Talk?

For anyone who is unsure of this just know that once you get used to the mobile site it 100% blows tapatalk out of the water. If anyone thinks it would help maybe we can start a thread for questions on the mobile site for those who are used to tapatalk to help the transition.

Thanks Rev for looking out for the community. I guess it's a bump in the road, even though I don't know what a "tapatalk" is. Sounds infectious. You have my support 100%!

Some of you use the R2R Tapatalk Branded App and Tapatalk App and we have tried to keep it working as long as possible. But I recently found out that the company who makes the app (Tapatalk) has started to store user information from forums and have begun to sell advertising based upon this information. We don't sell your info and we don't like the fact that we can't have control over that aspect to keep others from doing it. Another reason is that we like to have control over our community and we don't like some of the tactics used by Tapatalk to force us to comply with their methodology. They also will not support the full features of our forum and it leaves for an incomplete experience for some users at times.

As a result we have made the decision to remove Tapatalk support from R2R and unpublish our app.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT OUR MOBILE VERSION BUT THE APP VERSION. YOU CAN STILL SURF R2R ON YOUR PHONE!

I realize there will be some of you who do not like this decision but based on my previous comments we have had to make this hard decision and we are going to stand by it. I wanted to make this announcement and give you time to make alternative plans, if you are a Tapatalk R2R surfer.

For now we do offer notifications to your phone if you have an Android device. Hopefully soon we will have this option for IOS devices as well.

Thanks for your understanding.


NOTE: YOU CAN SET UP R2R LIKE AN APP ON YOUR PHONE: To use R2R on your phone simple open your internet browser on your phone and type www.reef2reef.com. The following is a pictorial first for IOS devices and second for Android devices.
