Hi Hope and Others, Here's the link to the Tapatalk Forum App that Max was referring to: • Tapatalk Forum App (currently $2.99, but was recently discounted to $0.99 at the end of April) by Quoord Systems https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tapatalk-forum-app/id307880732?mt=8
Note that there's also a Tapatalk 2 app, and a Tapatalk HD for iPad app. Tapatalk 2 sounds as though it has many accessibility problems with unlabeled buttons and confusing custom gestures. Tapatalk HD for iPad is a late rewrite of the Tapatalk Forum App that works only on the iPad.
