Tapatalk integration on OC3D

No interest in Tapatalk. I tried it for a while and it was a pain. As good as the mobile site is here, I'd much rather just stick with it.

Plus there was that whole fiasco with the update they did where you had to buy the app again. You'd buy the app then after you update you start getting ads again. You'd have to buy it again to get rid of the ads. Tapatalk can suck it as far as I'm concerned. I'll stick with mobile view. It's plenty fast and convenient and the support from the ads actually go to OC3D who I want to support.

I have been using Tapatalk for years now and I assure you that I have never faced the problems you stated down once. I have all my forums at one place and notifications and messages are managed automatically gives me news feed and update on subscribed topics from different forums. No hustle what so ever works like charm. Tapatalk is the best way out there to enjoy all of my favourite forums as far as I'm concerned.
 
I put a lot of time and money into the mobile side of the forums, tapatalk just didnt suit when we looked at it and Ive sadly got no interest in spending the cash needed to set it up now we have a perfectly good (even better) mobile site.

Consider yourself lucky. Look it up if you don't believe me. It happened on two different occasions where they did their "update" and all of a sudden you had ads all over the place even though you paid $5 for the ad-free version and you had to pony up $5 again if you wanted to go back to ad-free. Like TTL said though, the mobile site here works just fine. I frequent 4 forums, here, HardOCP, Ford F150 and DIY Mobile Audio. I have no problems browsing them and keeping up with them on their mobile sites.

Tapatalk loads the content that I want to read, whilst the mobile site looks great when it loads, it first needs to do that.

And because of that, if i'm on the move, I won't even bother because it takes too long.

Just tested it connected to work wifi (below) and it took nearly 2 minutes to load entirely from uncached.



If you factor in that the current best practices state most general users give up after 3 seconds, its a little bit out of whack. In comes Tapatalk, connected to a similarly image heavy forum, less than 2 seconds to load content.

2 minutes to load OC3D?
 
I'm using WM10 on a Lumia 640 and with Edge over 4G or 3G the mobile site is pretty much instantaneous, the site is very low yield on mobile networks. There is very little nay, no need for Tapatalk integration.
 
Mobile rating is quite good for the forums, fair bit better than some mobile sites from major companies.

Where in cambridge are you? Because I'm in cambridge and there's none of that.

There's something wrong with your connection, or you're otherwise blocking an element of the site. It simply does not take that long to load.

iPhone 6S Plus, connected to JANET through one of the UniofCam colleges. No element's blocked.
 
Same here, Instant on iPhone 6S. Been on an other Site using Tapatalk that changed back to an own Mobile Site, at first when Tt was Free and very Simple it was great but now it is like 150MB, Needs Registration, Wants your Passwords, is slow and very unintutive in terms of Navigation. The quick and hard downfall of a Program that started as a genius idea actually ed me of a bot, all because of the money.
 
Mobile site is instant for me.

Same here. Also the mobile site I found uses FAR LESS data than using the desktop version. It's actually insane the difference. I still use the desktop version mostly though, I just like that everything is a little easier to use.
