Tapatalk can do attachments, which no theme can (on iOS anyway)

Yeah, the only point of Tapatalk at this point is the 'directory' of sorts that it offers.

Tapatalk needs to be purchased by the member the forum side is free and I was not really into installing it but more and more members started asking for it so I installed it. I purchased the smart phone software and to be honest I rather use Opera Mini for my forums that I do visit. BUT hey from an admin side and forum owner side it works great for the members and they love it :eheh:

If it wouldn't cause me to have serious frustration I'd build a similar app for Wedge and distribute it, so that forum admins could (like vB owners) create an app just for their forum, branded how they want.
But then I'd have to explain to admins that wanted to that they'd have to pay $99 to Apple in order to distribute it... Yeah, like I said, frustration.

That still doesn't solve the mindnumbing headache that people wanting to create their own branded edition still have to have Apple developer accounts, though.
I have one of those, because I paid for the privilege - and on the other hand I have no intention of learning Java to write anything for Android... which says to me it may not be the best approach all round.

I've got Tapatalk on my iPhone, and it does a good job of making a SMF forum usable on such a small screen. But what I'm thinking is that an iPhone app, which integrates with a free helpdesk, could make some money, and do it via the App Store. There's no need to worry about sending out monthly bills for hosting help desks, no need to sell software in the open market.... just an app for sale in the App Store for $20 a pop. There's more money to be made there than in selling me one copy of a smart phone friendly theme, because I've got 10-15 clients who would be in the market for such an iPhone app.
Branding doesn't appeal to me nearly as much as if I could purchase a bunch of licenses for smart phone apps that could interface with the help desk that I run. Then I'd resell those licenses to my clients at a small profit, or even at a loss. I'd recoup that money by selling access to the help desk, and you'd get your cut from the App Store.

I think it is a lot about making it work that will work for the forum owner and end user and if you can make a few bucks out of it why not. After all development on anything at the end of it needs to be paid for. You can only do so much without making any money out of it

(Being a registered developer hasn't meant that I've looked into distribution yet, I've made use of the facility by having access to the SDK and being able to run stuff directly on my iPad, but that's it thus far)
I don't know about writing one I just thought maybe making wedge comparable or listed with TapaTalk so admins have that option to use it. As I say from a user point of view I now only use it for testing

Did they do that for AeMe, too? :P

No, they had to put special code in because my code conflicted with theirs.
Because of the operations being done and the way they were done, they were added very early in the process, running from Load.php - but this conflicted with how Tapatalk works.
