    WSC-Connect is similar to Tapatalk, but more secure and lets you use the forum on your mobile device. That isn't to say that Tapatalk isn't secure, but WSC-Connect is built specifically for WoltLab Forum software such as this forum.

    You can download it at Google Play Store, but it doesn't appear to be available for iOS at the moment though, sorry.

    Fixed the login issues with [definition='1','1']WSC[/definition] Connect and the app now works correctly.

    There are plans for an iOS version but not for many months.

    If you're on Android, I would highly recommend this app, as it's streets ahead of Tapatalk in terms of smoothness and professionalism.

    You can view this forum and add posts, replies and everything else you would normally do on your PC or tablet, but on the move.

    Unfortunately there are no plans for an iOS version due to compatibility issues with that operating system.

    EDIT

    I've just discovered that [definition='1','1']WSC[/definition] is now in the testing phase for iOS, which means that it's heading for release on iPhones.

    There's an article here that explains the app progress in German. Open in Chrome and hit translate.

    Thank you! Let's hope the iOS version will be released soon.

    I am currently using the paid Tapatalk app for iPhone and it doesn't sync with my computer, meaning that I see notifications on post that I have already read and commented. It is also not clear why I get posts from other forums on the app main page, I think they are similar posts based on my interests.

    I am on another forum where kins are used. They are sort of points you can give to useful contributors as a thank you. These point can be redeemed to buy the VIP access, remove ads, etc.

    For those using the forum on mobile phones, you may want to check out the forum app, [definition='1','1']WSC[/definition] Connect, once again. As already mentioned, it's available for both Android and iOS iPhone.

    Most people on iPhones will be using Safari and this could be a great alternative as it's faster and more responsive. If anyone needs help setting up, please shout, although once installed, all you need to do is enter your username and password once only.

    This is how the Android version looks on my phone. Very slick indeed and very fast.

    Could I please ask a favour?

    Anyone using the forum on an iPhone and using the [definition='1','1']WSC[/definition] Connect app for iOS as posted above, could they please take a screenshot of the forum home page and maybe a thread?

    It's a little different from the Android version and I'd like to see how it looks.

    Many thanks

    Downloaded app, signed in, and got this.

    Can’t actually open any of these posts, or a home page.

    That's annoying!

    I'm looking into it with the developers and will report back.

    Just downloaded it and it’s faster than either chrome or safari. Using it now, thanks!

    Which phone and Android version are you using? I'll take it up with the developer.


    It actually works fine on my Samsung Note 20, so I'm puzzled by this.

    I'd like some feedback if possible.

    I recently tried on the latest iPad. It is very basic. Only a list of notifications and also a list of DMs. No forum threads. The screenshots shown in the App Store link are true and exactly the same very simple UI I see. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wsc-connect/id1462270360

    For some reason the Android version is much better, although the devs told me last week that they are working on an overhaul for both.

    Any idea of timings , Splinter?
