We are not android programmers... and, in general, we suggest that individual site applications are not worth the effort, since a properly responsive site will be more useful, all around...

What benefits?     Most people have too many apps on their phones already.


Also, as I have already said...

The only argument I can see that's still valid is push notifications and even that may be going away sometime if mobile browsers support the same things as desktop notifications.

Does iOS Safari? Also, really have no idea about the state of these on Android, though I guess most people use Chrome which should.

According to info I'm seeing, both Firefox, Chrome and Safari support it. I know Firefox supports it on Android too since I use it for one site.

Caniuse says no for iOS, which is still a major part of the app economy. Which is a shame, I don't really want to have to write an app just to get notifications.

Easily arguable. Here's a list...

Yes, but when the XenForo developers publicly commented on how terrible the TT port for XF 2 was, that makes me stop and wonder how much bad code they're shifting.

I would never subject my users to tapatalk....  their coding is subpar and all the other issues with regarding apps over a normal site are still true.
Tapatalk has also been known to cause issues on people’s sites

I lost a user or two when I was managing a forum due to not adding it. I don't regret it :P  (Not to mention no one else had a problem with the forum not being an app)

I can't wait to deal with this problem in my next forum project, which will start and end with 'if you can persuade Tapatalk to support the features that this platform has, I'll happily support it' knowing full well there is more chance of me becoming an Olympic athlete for the 2020 Olympics than that happening.

Championship beard grooming is not an Olympic event?

Hahahahaha, nope. :(

But imagine a forum setup that's totally driven around subaccounts, taken to hardcore levels of setup. Lemme know when TapaTalk supports that ;)
