I have always used the browser on my iPad and now iPhone. I like that it looks exactly like when I access on my iMac.

I use the Chrome browser on my iPhone, mostly. Don’t care for the Tapatalk app.

Chrome better than Safari on a newer iPhone?

For some things. If you have a lot of bookmarks and passwords stored in Chrome (from your Desktop browser for example), then it's useful for that. I find the Satguys browsing experience to be best on Safari, however.

For iPhone users-

1. Navigate to the login page for this site in Safari: Log in

2. Tap on the little up arrow at the bottom of the browser

3. Scroll to "Add to home screen"

Done!

Thanks for those instructions I was able to figure out how to do it.

I actually access with both Safari (on my iPad) and Chrome (on my iMac). They both work equally as well for me.

Is there a way to set up the website on safari viewing on a IPhone so it views as a Timeline just like the app . I enjoy this feature it lets me see all of the discussions on all topics and forums instead of going forum to forum. There are a lot of interesting topics all over the place.

The Satelliteguys App no longer works on my Amazon tablet. When you open the app a message box appears saying "Invalid License This forum is currently not available on this app. Please contact the forum administrator." When you select ok , a message box appears which says " Continue to Amazon Appstore?" When you select continue it brings up Tapatalk in the app store and says it is currently unavailable.

The Satelliteguys app still works on my Iphone 8+. When you open it a message box appears which says "This is a demo version. To activate this license, please subscribe to Forum Owner Paid Tiers subscription (Tapatalk)." But when you select ok the forum still works as usual.

Although I am currently doing this on my laptop so I could insert my Dish bill on a previous thread, I still prefer using the Satelliteguys app on my Iphone. It is the most convenient to use and can be used anywhere. I tested using Safari on my Iphone to access Satelliteguys forum but it is less convenient.

Then download Tapatalk and continue using it to access SatelliteGuys.

Tapatalk is currently unavailable in the Amazon AppStore. But it is not a big deal since I rarely access SatelliteGuys using my Amazon Fire Tablet. I mainly use my IPhone or IPad to access SatelliteGuys and they both work.

Yup I am doing the same thing.

As I said before with them dropping support over a year ago, I am surprised it has lasted this long.

It appears that Tapatalk is on the blink tonight? I've been getting this error all day. The other forums I typically use with it are OK

I am now getting that error too... Nothing has hanged on our server today.

Let me see what I can do if anything.

Have you tried using the SatGuys site in a browser in your smart phone? It works good for me in my Samsung phone with the Chrome browser.

Remember you can use the Tapatalk App. (Which is the same app as the SatelliteGuys app)

I realize I am late to this conversation, I just found out about this and it really sucks. The issue I have with the IOS Tapatalk app is that it inserts too many adds. I pay to be a Pub member, I will not pay Tapatalk as well.
