The bugs of Physics Forums android app. Anyone?

  • Thread starter tsuwal
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses limitations of a program installed on an android device. These limitations include the inability to attach images and the absence of usual subjects in the homework section. The conversation also mentions the cost of the program and a workaround for viewing equations. Overall, there are currently no solutions for these issues but new features may be announced in the future.

I installed this program on my android but I can't:

- Attach images (which is pretty anoying)
- In the homework section, qhen I try to create a new topic, the three usual subjects don't appear.

DO you know how to solve this bugs or I am just not using the program correctly?

There are currently some limitations. We'll announce new features when they are released.

Tapatalk is not free for one thing. There is some level of customization I can do. But I get your point.

$2.99 for Android. I can't imagine trying to use my phone browser or a different app for every forum.

Maybe only ones you really use daily.

It would be nice if tapatalk would recognize the equations.

I've submitted the request, but it's unlikely.

When Taptalk is open (on a post containing equations), click on the Android menu, then "More" (touchscreen), then "WebView" (also touchscreen). At that point the post will open up in the browser. If you're Android browser supports it (most do as far as I can tell), you can see the equations.

Yeah, it would be nice if the MathJax/LaTeX came up natively in Taptalk. I'm just saying that it possible to see the LaTeX using this workaround.

Sweet! Nice workaround.
