rustvyper Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 It'd be nice for all the tablet & smartphone users out there. It's free for basic membership. I use it on several other websites & it works awesome. www.tapatalk.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 That sounds like the walkie-talkie type of apps that are out there like Zello and Voxer. They are basically verbal text messages you can listen to when you want. We are trying out Voxer for clinic communication. He put in for a grant to have two of us tele-medicine talk to patients from our office or some other location. He would be in the clinic area. I asked how we were going to communicate without using a phone or Vocera? We have done some testing of Voxer, which is SMS (secure messaging service) since Zello does not advertise itself as secure. Voxer works fine. It gives a single chime on your smart phone when you get a message. It's free, unlike Vocera, which would cost a quarter of a million bucks just to get started. Does that sound like the app you are talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that sound like the app you are talking about? No no, this is a mobile forum reader. No tiny letters, easy touch threads & simple upload function for photos. It basically makes navigating this forum super easy & fun. For example, I'm posting this from my iPad. I would upload a screenshot of the ap but I can't because the forum is not optimized to support tablets & phones (where I take most of my pictures anyway). Registering is free for you, they do the rest. The end user pays for the ap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gun nutty Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 For Android, I really RSS feed readers. You can't post, but reading is really quick (the headlines/topics). This website doesn't seem to support RSS, or at least well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustvyper Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 There's a tapatalk ap for android as well. It's $1.99, but money well spent. Mausercentral is on there. Should be a painless process, just need FC to sign up & tapatalk does the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustvyper Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I meant to say I can't find our site on it. Yes, you have to register it. Here's the FAQ link. It explains a lot. Simply go to the forum owner's link, register, download the plugin & follow the instructions. Should be a simple process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustvyper Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 oops, looks like they support ipboard 3.1 & above only. Guess we're still running 3.0.5. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gun nutty Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I really do like RSS feeds. The RSS feed seems to work ONLY if I'm logged in to the board. That's not the way RSS should work; my RSS client (Sparse RSS) has no option for passwords. There must be a flag somewhere to fix it.
