is tapatalk different than the proboards app?

[raangoli]

Yes, it's two different apps. The proboards app stopped working and I don't believe they are supporting it anymore. The tapatalk app is free.

You don't need it, you can always use a web browser, but I do think it's easier.

The proboards app is no longer officially supported. So yeah, get tapatalk.

[jinkies]

I just use the mobile site when I'm on my phone, and have never had a problem.

I briefly tried to use tapatalk, but could never get used to it.

I am also 85 years old when it comes to new technology.

I just got a new phone and ProBoards wasn't available to download, so I'm using Tapatalk. 

It's been tough for me to get used to, honestly. The plus side is that it's easier for me to upload images (PB always crashed on me). It's weird to see images and GIFs previewed in the TT app.

I use tapatalk! Easy peasy

Yes it is orange

Play around with the settings on tapatalk--lots of the default settings are weird (showing random people's signatures as thread images) but easily changed. I think it's a pretty solid app and much more stable for me these days than the old proboards one, which hasn't been officially supported for like a year.

You can turn off the previews of photos of you go to: Me > Settings > Image Previews

(I assume you meant in the list of threads and not when uploading or something different.)

Bingo.

I'm still using the proboards app too, so you aren't alone

[LoveTrains]

I still use the pro boards app.

[womet]

Another pro boards user but I am trying Tapatalk right now. So far, not bad.

[compassrose]

I'm still using it, too. Maybe switching to tapatalk should be one of my 2016 goals.

[SJ]

I prefer the mobile browser, but use Tapatalk to add photos.

[vanillacourage]

I use the desktop version of the mobile browser and noticed a few weeks ago that it started sucking. The sidebar with the list of boards isn't optimized, and keeps enlarging right over the post field. Anyone else notice this too?

[compassrose]

I figured this was the right place for my inaugural tapatalk post. I'm still not sure how I feel about it.

[AAM2012]

It took me a few weeks to get used to it but after that I love it when compared to proboards.

[fbf2006]

I use tapatalk now. I changed phones a few weeks ago and couldn't find proboards to download. Tapatalk is pretty decent, just takes some getting used to.

[chpmnk1015]

So, I downloaded tapatalk.. BUt howdo I find the boards? When I type this one or my NJ one it searches them but turns up no results?

[katieb4tom]

I can't find it on tapatalk either.

[AAM2012]
