Omnimaga now has Tapatalk support
« on: July 17, 2012, 12:34:02 am »
If you browse Omnimaga from a mobile device, you may have noticed a popup telling you about our newest site feature. The Omnimaga forums now support Tapatalk, a system for mobile users to easily navigate and browse web forums with a native app available for iOS, Android, Blackberry, and others. Here are the official Tapatalk apps:


Unfortunately, the Tapatalk app is not free; it's $2.99 on the App Store, Google Play, and BlackBerry App World. But if you're a big browser of Omnimaga and other Tapatalk-enabled forums, it may well be worth the cost. Plus, there are some free apps and extensions out there that let you use the features provided by Tapatalk for free:

  • Google Chrome (desktop) users can use the Tapatalk Notifier to get notified of new replies and PMs
  • Forums is a free app for WebOS that does what Tapatalk does on other smartphones
  • Board Express for Windows Phone also handles Tapatalk forums, with a free edition

Hope this will be a useful feature to make the forums more convenient to browse.

I would be fine with browsing Omni normally on my iPod if Omnom didn't keep growing in size o.O

^ That, and if it didn't crash every few pages :/

I just disable OmnomIRC before I close my comp browser, so it doesn't glitch up the page on mobile.

That's a pretty useful feature that got added here, it's a shame Google Play only accept credit cards as means of payment.

This is awesome. It shall be useful to me on my phone, as Omni lags and eventually crashes my android browser (even with Omnom disabled).

I guess the next step could be to have a free alternative, or something like the TI-Planet app :D

I actually don't have any problems browsing omni on my phone. A few features don't work, but i can read and post just fine )(even if it can be a bit slow) I just use Opera mini. ;) I guess Tapatalk is nice for those that have issues though.

Hmm, as far as I know you have to pay like 100 dollar a year to apple to be able to have your app on their store.

Correct.
Not too bad if you're able to make (via sales, ads etc.) 8.5 dollars / month on the apps you make

I can't find it? I found Convo (that free tapatalk client) but not Tapatalk itself.

And oh yeah that site, I was using it back in the time phones were using WAP and J2ME.

Oh I meant for Android. It's ok if there isn't one for Apple. An alternative could be that the one who did the TI-Planet app makes the Omni one, since he already paid the money to keep apps there (unless it's $100 per app?).

The other alternative is having mobile users default to a different forum theme with fewer pictures or have the mobile mode (maybe WAP2) modified to be more complex and support img tags.

@Art I got a Samsung Galaxy 551 and I think I just don't have enough RAM to browse the site for an extended period of time. It scrolls/zooms/lets me type text at about 2 or fewer FPS, then after about 3 minutes, the phone vibrates 3 times as the browser hangs, then the browsers suddenly closes.
