It's the Taplist.io Viewer app for iOS! Taplist.io is the world's easiest-to-activate digital menu system. And now you can show off your menu on iPad devices, similar to our TvOS app! — HOW IT WORKS As an existing Taplist.io customer, you set up and manage your menu through the Taplist.io dashboard. Once you're ready to show it off on a screen, download and run this app. You'll be presented with a pairing code to link it to your account. Once you've linked, that's it! Your menu, and any changes you make, will start appearing instantly. — SET-IT-AND-FORGET-IT Our app is designed for "set it and forget it" installations. Once it's running, you shouldn't need to touch it. Many of our customers mount their displays in easy-to-read places for their customers. — CAROUSEL MODE If you've got a large menu, no problem! The application will automatically cycle through each screen of your menu. — PORTRAIT MODE Prefer a vertical menu? No problem! Configure your menu to portrait mode in the Taplist.io dashboard, and the app will automatically refresh. — BETTER ALL THE TIME We're constantly adding new features to our menu management system. Because of the way our app is designed, you'll rarely need to update it: things "just work".
