Hi guys

Want to load Tapatalk for both my iPad and iPhone 5.

Apple App Store has 2 versions:

1) Tapatalk forum app for $0.99

And

2) Tapatalk HD for iPad at $4.99

What is the differences?
What would be better to use on both devices and why?

Thanks in advance
 
The normal Tapatalk app is pretty basic but it gets the job done and in that regard - it's awesome.

Tapatalk HD is for the iPad (although you can use the normal app on the iPad as well) with a different layout. The normal app just lists all the posts, you tap on one and it opens that thread. The HD one keeps a list of the threads and opens them on the right hand side of the screen. HD crashes a lot more than the normal one though :(

If I was you I'd get the normal app on the iPhone and see how you like it. If you do load it on the iPad as well (you already paid for it).

If it sucks for you and you are curious: get HD
 
PS: i have both on my iPad and switch between them depending on my mood. Either one is better than the browser though ;)
 
Thanks for all the help. Think I will go with the standard one. Don't see a point to buying a separate version for iPad and iPhone
 
Haha. You got to be kidding

Went to download the 99c version. Guess what- price changed this morning to $2.99

Maybe hang about a bit then... By all accounts MyBB will be launching a free version of the app soon.

R30 on an app! But what will I buy a house with if that money is gone :(
 
Wasn't complaining about the price Hamster.... Just my luck.

See first post - I was willing to spend 4.99 just wanted to know which was better

Is MyBB the only forum you frequent? If it is it will probably be "worth" waiting for that app which will probably be Tapatalk based. If not then you can just as well go ahead and buy it.
 
Mainly myBB. But I do visit others occasionally like iphoneza and others.... How would I know which forums are compatible with Tapatalk?

No idea if you can find that info on the web. But most are.

Works perfectly on the iphoneza. Just checked, there are currently 47871 forums you can access with the app.
 
Just downloaded tapatalk HD. Any recommendations of forums I can add to it?

No. MyBB is the only true forum and you will not be given information about any other forums like eae2, systemshock or shareforum.

NO WAY! NO HOW!
 
Also removed it. Uses more space with less threads displayed. Notifies you when you are quoted (guess you could turn it off).
