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!
the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it

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.
