I tried Tapatalk now and it won’t let me log in using my user name or email address.

Is Tapatalk dead with the new board software or is this just a migration issue that will get cleared up at some point? Or am I doing it wrong?

Others here have said that Tapatalk won’t work with Discourse. ☹

That stinks. Is there another app or do we have to use our mobile browsers?

The Discourse phone app has terrible reviews, supposedly it’s just a skin for Chrome or something useless. I’m pretty bummed out.

Who needs Tapatalk when you have responsive mobile friendly templates?

The Discourse guide says they have an app for iOS as well as Android.
