I think that when we break it down... the issue is that people want to access the forums from their mobile device. Tapatalk provides a solution for some devices, and costs money to be useful... whereas a mobile skin works on more devices, and it would be free to the end users.

Ok well I guess my point is that it is completely free to install the plugin and takes 10 minutes to do. So why not do it for those of us who are rich enough to afford the $3 app.

They could spend that same 10 minutes installing something that's free to end users and works on a wider variety of devices. If they then want to spend another 10 minutes installing TapaTalk for those who insist on it, I don't really have a problem with that. I just don't think a paid app should be the only option.

I can see using a native web app as opposed to a just a mobile web app if the native app provides something that can't be done in the mobile app... but we are talking about reading text, and responding to posts... that's not something that would require a native app.
For example, I have the native facebook web app instaled on my phone, but I still use the their mobile web app all the time. The only reason that i have the facebook app installed is so that I can update images to facebook from the camera app. So this is case where the native web app provides some extra functionality.

Add another vote for tapatalk! Looks cool and I don't see why it shouldn't be installed.

While I am not sure for the other platforms, there is a FREE version of Tapatalk for Android...

For browsing only. You have to have the paid version to reply to topics. It is a great way to "try out" the app, but no one is going to use the free version as their primary method.

+1 for adding Tapatalk support.
Ever since I got an android phone, I have been using it and love the ease of use. So much better than a mobile web browser.

Usually the SageTV folks are on top of things like this, so hopefully they will get around to implementing a mobile solution for the forum. I think they should do both Tapatalk and the mobile theme as suggested on post #12. Tapatalk allows you to do more, while the mobile theme is limiting, such as not able to upload images. But at least with the mobile theme, you can view the forum in mobile format that is easier to navigate.

Tapatalk is far better than just a 'mobile version of the forums'. I use it often on my droid for other forums, and it is in a lot of ways easier to use than sitting at my desktop.

Im sure it's obvious I've never used it. For my own education, what exactly does it do that couldn't be accomplished by today's mobile web browsers?

It does (mostly) the same thing, it just has a different layout/view of forums that is ore (in my opinion) iphone screen friendly (see screen shots in first post).
If this forum had a more mobile friendly CSS/html option, TapaTalk might not be necessary (compare, for example, the different layouts / html of the mobile web server for SageTV versus the "plain" web server -- I've never used the latter on my iPhone).

Browser... Tapatalk... I'll take any version where I don't have to squint or constantly 'zoom' in to see what is going on... "No need for a dang plugin?"... Huh? -Jason
