Will the POTV app allow me to have all my forums in one handy app like Tapatalk does?

The POTV app is specific to our forum and website. It not only combines the power of tapatalk but you also get access to the best features of the website as well. You can download it and try it out as it is completely free.

Already gone from my tapatalk on iPhone. Went yesterday. Wont let me get in and puts up some warning notice (I didn't bother reading). Got the POTV app though so all good.

I never tried Tapatalk, always used the POTV version, but I find it annoying that the forum is so simplified in it - I can't see all the smilies, the formatting occasionally goes haywire and all I get is HTML codes and I can't see signatures or proper profile pictures.

Also cannot take part in votes. I am actually thinking about deleting it and going via web link....

What's the reason for dropping tapatalk? Some of us can't install the POTV app because of OS versions.

The POTV App is something that we invested in to be tailored to our needs as a forum and a website, since it essentially does the same thing as Tapatalk plus all of the extra bits, it makes more sense to drop the unnecessary app in favour of the one On the selfish side, it's less work updating one app versus having to update two.

Also, it will help us better track our site statistics.

I can understand not having to support two apps.

As it seems that it's already been decided that tapatalk should go can I ask if we can expect the POTV app to support earlier android versions? 'Cos otherwise myself, and I'm sure many others, will be cut off from using the forum on a mobile which will be a right pain.

Unfortunately the POTV app supports 4.0 and above.
