    It's about cost IMO. StyleZeitgeist is a fairly small forum and presumably run on a budget. How many hours of work from a half decent web/mobile guy does $1800 (the cost of a rebranded tapatalk install, the much more expensive of the two) get you? Certainly not enough to make anything decent from scratch no matter how good the APIs are.

    That being said, browsing sz on an iphone/android sort of works, it's a big clumsy but as long as you're not trying to post a lot it's fine.

      depending on the timeline, i would consider doing it for a lot cheaper than that or for donations. that isn't meant to hijack the thread into a "hire me to do this" kind of thing, but just an option to keep out there.

      that said, i agree that the board is totally usable on iphone. i haven't tested it on android so i can't speak for that.

        bumping this - it'd be fantastic to get tapatalk enabled for this site.

        i believe it would be the cheapest and quickest option for implementation.

        even if there was some sort of standalone app in the future, tapatalk in the meantime would be great.

          I agree that $1800 doesn't get you very far with a mobile guy doing the full implementation. I work in the software industry and the full cost is not the cost to implement, but the cost to implement and maintain. The maintenance itself (bug fixes, new features, etc ...) often outweighs the build cost.

            has this went any further in the process? i'm pretty sure most of szg members have an iphone and would love szg as an app!

              if you look at the previous replies, the consensus seemed to be towards an app being unecessary and expensive. iphones (just like other smart phones) are cabable of viewing the site through the web just fine.

                i disagree with you on that, but with the expenses in mind i of course understand the obstacle for an szg app.

                  no one seemed to be interested enough to kick in any dough.

                    hmm, what sort of problems do you have when viewing the site on an iphone?

                      it's not huge issues of course, i can read all things if i want, but clicking on small links without having to zoom in to see each pixel of the letters can be hard to avoid sometimes, taking a lot of time. and also i think it's kind of annoying trying to find a thread without searching for it, while being on my iphone. but then again, i'll just stay in and be on my macbook while being on szg. not very much more problematic then that! hehe.

                          what about just upgrading to vBulletin 5 which is responsive out-of-the-box? http://www.vbulletin.com/en/mobile/

                          no need to buy the separate mobile suite though:
                          Does vbulletin 5 already responsive? Or should I buy another license (Mobile Suite) to get responsive site? Kind regards, v123shine

                            Faust : What funds would you need to upgrade to v5? Maybe send out a paypal link?

                              It's more that my programmer needs to find time to do this. I already bought the upgrade. Certainly you don't need to donate for it, but I appreciate the kind thought.
