If you're like me, you've tried to read Tugnuts posts on your mobile device of choice, zooming in to get the font size to match your age, and back out again so the browse structure fits in the screen. Not fun. If, like me, you'd like it to be easier to use your mobile devices to keep up with Tugnuts, read on.
Tapatalk was developed to do just that. It's a mobile app, available on a variety of platforms, designed to make it easy to navigate and read forums like Tugnuts. The supporting code has been installed on the Tugnuts server and a handful of us have tested it. It works well.
It is a well reviewed and widely used application, developed by a 3rd party, and it costs $2.99. It is not officially endorsed or supported by Ranger Tugs, but we believe many of you may find it useful.
The iOS version for iPhone, iPad, and iTouch is available on iTunes.
The Android version is available in the Google Play store.
The BlackBerry version is available at BlackBerry App World.
Once you download and install the app, all you have to do is search for Tugnuts, select it, and log in. The user interface is simple and straight forward. Buttons across the bottom allow you to select the latest posts, browse to a forum of your choice, search, access and send private messages, manage settings and more. The screen layout is easy to read and move through. The server synchronizes everything for you, so there's no need to worry about going from computer to mobile device, and back.
The Tapatalk developer maintains a support forum which includes areas for each platform application. You can find answers, ask questions, and learn more either on the website or by using Tapatalk to read the forum. Basically, if you're used to using mobile applications this one will be a quick study.
Forums for official apps are here. You can even use Smilies and the same BB formatting codes used on Tugnuts. If you participate in other forums which support Tapatalk (there are over 30,000), you'll find it even more useful.
I'll keep an eye on the thread an try to answer any questions which come up.
Cheers,
Bruce
