Event Coverage Tapatalk & The H.A.M.B. App

That sounds like FI stuff, over my carb head,,,,,,

 

Thanks for the heads up. Those terms are unacceptable and I'm glad you're watching out for everyone's privacy.

 

I personally don't use the app, but I've watched over the years just how many folks have problems with it, I say good riddance.

 

Nice to know you have our best interest at heart. thanks Boss. HRP

 

Is there going to be another APP to use?

 

Thanks for doing the right thing.

 

I appreciate looking out for our (member) interests in the data mining world.

 

Haven't seen a reply from anyone using the app. They won't know what hit them lol

 

I've never used any app on this site and 99% of my time on here is thru my cell phone so an app is NOT necessary to enjoy this site

And a big thank you Ryan for having character and not giving in to them. Its great to see you stand your ground on behalf of our privacy. Thank you again...

 

I don't use the app, but do sometimes surf the HAMB on my phone usining the browser, works fine.

It's hard to overstate huw much I appreciate your stand on user privacy.

 

looks like my browser defaults to the app, I will try it after it goes down and I uninstall.

Edit, works just fine in Chrome on my phone. I will just delete the app

 

Amen

 

Well, I guess I’m the minority here as I prefer, and only use the H.A.M.B. app. Understand and agree that data privacy is key though. Bummer.

Well I a a sort of a luddite and still use a computer for internet access. That said I am both saddened and blissful at this news.

Sad for those who depend on the app to use the forum and happy that the Boss has the integrity to hold his ground in this brave new world we live in.

Don't despair, I have known @Ryan for m ore than a minute and there will be a solution to this problem.

 

Not a problem for me . No offence Ryan but I never really liked the APP any way.

 

I use the app almost exclusively and the base Tapatalk for the Ford barn. I had no idea how invasive Tapatalk is, total strokers!
Kill it, we’ll live.

I just use my web browser. Way better than the app anyways

 

I’ve been using the app for since I joined the forum, never had any real issues with it. Of course I realize data privacy is paramount for any online service.

Thanks Ryan , It has popped up alot on my end , never used it to get On the HAMB , thanks for looking out for US/Me to keep our privacy private !!! from big tech and the One's thinking they know whats best for Ourselves.

 

If the App is crap,
Listen to Pap,
Don't be a sap,
Give it a zap,
And call it a wrap,
Don't fall for their trap.

 

I use the app 95% of the time- have had very few issues- so for me it will not be quite as accessible for the ‘short stops’ I make here throughout the day- but dang it- we don’t need to be spied on either- so I appreciate the heads up that this will go dark.( and that you are looking out for us Ryan)
I’ll just find a different way to come here and hang out.

 

I have never been a fan of apps and just use the full site on my phone anyway. But, glad to hear you are watching out for us.

 

I used Tapatalk on a boat forum before, it's terrible. I refuse to use it. So it won't hurt my feelings none.

 

Don't think my flip-phone is going to know the difference

And my computer won't care...

 

For those using the HAMB app, just click here, then save your preferred HAMB start page to your home screen.

Hello,

That is wonderful that you are ditching that app. The app has had plenty of bad incidents in the past years of any other older forums. But, my wonderment is, why would anyone want to use a 4 inch screen that has to turn sideways to see this forum or any forum for that matter.

Yes, the screen can be enlarged to read the questions or topics, but isn't the phone for map GPS usage and communicating to friends and family? You can also throw in business calls and emergency services, too. But, to use it for viewing a 4 inch screen over a 17 inch laptop is ridiculous for viewing or reading.

When the small window forms came out in the early cell phones, people were stuck with what was there. Over the years, the screen has gotten larger and better screen image quality. But, it still is 4-5 inches unless the expanding service is used with the pinched fingers.

Thank you for watching out for anyone who used that app. Also, the unfair information grab that no one wants to be dispersed forever. We never used the app because of other friends using the app on different websites/forums over the years and had major problems.

But, then again, we are not the kind of folks that watch movies on a 4 inch screen, either. YRMV

 

In with a reply using the app, for posterity. Thanks for looking out for us.
