Baj Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 I've just set SaintsWeb up on Tapatalk, which enables those of you with more sophisticated phones to use the forum like an app, instead of through your web browser. Current support is for iPhone, Android and Nokias, with a "test" version for Blackberry also available. To read more about how to set it up on your phone, visit: http://www.tapatalk.com/en/mobile If the take up and feedback from you all is good, we will properly "style" it to SaintsWeb.

alpine_saint Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 Did you try using Tapatalk? Did you actually read my post? Of course I did. I want to know which phones you mean. The bit about my previous attempts to access this site wasnt really relevant, it was just to indicate that they werent too successful. Can you give a technical requirement, if you cant give phone model numbers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 Won't this encourage people actually at the match to post on the matchday threads? Surely we don't want that? It will distort the views of those who know better by following Merry Merrington and Soccer Saturday. No good at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 OK, got the info from Nokia; my phone isnt compatible. Pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_saint Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 I aint paying for an app! I was just replying on my phone saying that i'd downloaded the free ap for my android. But it wouldn't let me send it cause i only had the free version. Good to use to view though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 Not 100% sure of the compatibility on each phone types apart from Blackberry (as I have one). There is a version of the app that works with OS version 4.5 and 4.6 (8820 and 8320 models), and a version for OS 4.7+ (8900, 9000, Bold, Storm). Annoyingly, my 8320 has what appears to be a bloody ancient version of the OS (4.2!), so I'm going to have to upgrade that before it'll work.

mdearlove Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 I aint paying for an app! No need to pay if you just want to read posts. You only need to pay to post/pm. Alternatively there are routes to get the paid app for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baj Posted 1 April, 2010 Author Share Posted 1 April, 2010 Judging from their twitter feed, the official twitter app for blackberry is VERY close: Getting ready on BlackBerry release on AppWorld.

Block 5 Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 I did. Search for "tapatalk" Download that and install then search for saintsweb. I did. I found Affspot from Tapatalk development which is described as Affiliate marketing information, education and community. Is that what I'm looking for? It certainly doesn't sound like it.

Doctoroncall Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 None other than you can do it out and about.

saint_kev Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 That has to rate as the easiest thing today. Install, click on your item in the "new" list and login. Easier to find posts and follow threads than it is on this PC!! Much easier than having to agree to the latest t&c's from the Apple app store, which took bloomin ages.

Cascadia Saint Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 Just tried the free version of the iphone app, looks really good. Just checked the match thread and 5 pages on the forum is spread over 23 pages on the app, but overall is SO MUCH EASIER to navigate than zooming in and attempting to select a specific page number. Is this a permanent development? If so I will buy the full app. Cheers Baj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 Good work guys. Viewing the forum on the Android browser is actually pretty easy (no need to pinch and zoom and crap) but this is better still. If I can view one other forum in that I might even buy the full version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 1 April, 2010 Author Share Posted 1 April, 2010 Torres, ask the admin of the forum to install it, it literally took 10 minutes, and thats including me reading all about it first, actual install took about 2 mins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 1 April, 2010 Author Share Posted 1 April, 2010 Is this a permanent development? If so I will buy the full app. Cheers Baj. Yes, as you know we are switching to version 4 of this forum soon, however the forum will still support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 The only thing I would like to be changed is too be able to have about 50 comments per page rather than just the 10 odd which spreads it to 6 pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
