Hello,
would it be possible to add Tapatalk-support (forum app for mobile systems) to this forum? That would ease the access to the forum while on the road.
According to the Tapatalk homepage a plugin for phpBB 3 is available.

Regards,
Jochen

The powers that be do not dwell on here with us plebs, so perhaps try emailing < support AT runrev DOT com >

I thought this forum is used to submit feature requests?
Tapatalk support for this forum is definitly a good feature and may come in handy once Livecode hits the mass!

To use Tapatalk RunRev would need to install a PHPBB plugin specifically for that app. While not necessarily a deal-breaker, it seems that in the years since Tapatalk premiered other apps have begun showing up that work natively with PHPBB, without requiring special modifications to the forum site.

I just downloaded ForumTalk on Android, and it seems reasonably useful:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... forumtouch

A quick search turned this up for iOS as well:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/forum-r ... 27234?mt=8

With any PHPBB app, IMO it's only a stop-gap - the real solution would be for the PHPBB project to deliver a set of responsive templates that work across all device types. But until they do, it seems there are apps available for both platforms that'll do the job for now.
