I completely agree with the spirit of Tapatalk, however installing it on this site opens up a number of liabilities. Anytime a site opens its database through a third-party API, there is risk associated with it, and we simply cannot accept that risk. Beyond that, we need to have control over the branding of Flyertalk, and allowing third parties access to re-publish and redistribute user content outside our control can be dangerous. While we assume that Tapatalk properly handles these issues, we still need to be sensative to them.

We fully understand the desire to interact with Fltyertalk through native smartphone apps, and I assue you that there is currently work being done to meet these desires. We are, however, making sure that this is being done in the best interest of Flyertalkers and the Flyertalk community.
Thank you very much for addressing/answering this.
