I am not sure if I am allowed to ask this question in the thread title...., and I am sorry if it has been asked again or replied.
I just miss the convenience of reading the posts I follow in my mobile, getting notifications etc...

Another question : are there any plans of making an iOS and android app, that could be a great solution without the insecurity issues and other issues with Tapatalk?

Any thoughts?

 

Why would one need an app when the webpage is responsive and works perfectly on a smartphone?

Internal alerts and email notifications allow the follow up of threads you like.

OF has one of the best UX ever, I personally don’t see the point in installing an app for it on my smartphone - a shortcut on the home screen is all I need.

 

What about the notifications? Is there any way to have them with just the page?

 

Yes, I just edited my reply above in regards to notifications you’ve been too fast - probably using tapatalk

 

you can use push notifications with just a shortcut?

 

ok that's not push notification. You have to enter the page to see the notifications

 

That’s all I need at this stage. ...and if I need more, I get an email.

Maybe you need even more. I think I might feel sorry if so

 

Ok My friend. Thank for replying

 

@kov I agree about OF being best of breed in web forums and I also prefer it on mobile web over Tapatalk. Thanks for your great work! If you ever did want to do mobile notifications (unless their absence is a preference), a service worker can poll for updates and post the notifications. https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/push-notifications.

Also, is there a way to tell Tapatalk to stop advising that it can handle OF? At least on Android it claims to, which screws up Tapatalk integration on my phone system-wide.

 

Thank you all for your replies
