Mobile gaming is booming, and there are thousands of great games looking to tempt you away from your console or PC. Unfortunately, app stores do a poor job of helping you find them. That’s where TapTap comes in.

What Is TapTap?

TapTap is an app and website that originated in China from developer XD, built to help you discover which game to play next. The service is cross-platform, supporting console games in addition to Android, iPhone, and iPad. But it’s mobile game discovery where TapTap really shines. That’s because while TapTap links to both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, the premium version for Android also serves as its own alternative app store.

You can download games directly from TapTap, some of which aren’t actually available through Google or Apple. To get started, download TapTap Lite from the Play Store or the App Store.

How TapTap Helps You Find Games

After you set up an account with TapTap, it will prompt you to select from a list of games to help it decipher your tastes, much like Spotify or Netflix does. The app also wants to know which platforms you own. I limited the selection down to Android and iOS to keep the focus on phones and tablets.

You’re then dropped into a feed. Right from the beginning, TapTap feels more like a social network than an app store. Games appear in a list of posts, with trailers that auto-play as they would on YouTube or Instagram. Clicking on a post pulls up social activity surrounding a game. You can view other users’ comments, swipe to see additional videos, or look to see whether anyone has posted a review.

There’s a games tab at the bottom that has more of a passing resemblance to a traditional app store. You can filter games by platform, genre, rating, tags, and more. The coolest bits are listed at the top. There, you will find less conventional ways to browse for games.

Browse Games By Release Date

TapTap’s Upcoming and Calendar tabs look ahead to show you which games are set to release soon. When there isn’t much info available, you will see a name, banner image, expected release date, and the supported platforms.

Many games include a trailer. You can pre-register a game to get notified when the title becomes available. Even if you disable app notifications, you can keep up-to-date within the app’s inbox

View Gamelists Users Have Created

Gamelists are like Spotify playlists. Users create a list of games, give the curated list a title, and share it with the world. Gamelists are a good way to search for games in a way the Play Store or App Store doesn’t allow you to filter for, such as “offline multiplayer games.” Other lists may be even more niche, such as “Realistic AAA Graphic High-End Arcade Games,” introducing you to a type of game you didn’t know you wanted.

The results aren't as in-depth as, say, checking our site for the best offline Android games, but user-generated lists offer a broader range than we can.

How to Download Games In TapTap

When viewing a game, you’ll see a prominent “Get” button. This will kick you out of the app and over to your default app store (Play Store or the Apple App Store). If the game isn't free, the button will instead display the price. Underneath that button, you will see a second button listing other options or platforms.

The Android version may show the TapTap icon, indicating that you have the option to download a game’s APK directly. iPhone users do not have such an option since this is the type of flexibility Apple wishes to protect users from (though there are Apple App Store alternatives in the EU).

選擇 TapTap 將提示您先下載應(yīng)用程式的進(jìn)階版本。 TapTap 完整版將其下載連結(jié)設(shè)為預(yù)設(shè)連結(jié)。您尚未擁有的遊戲?qū)@示“下載”，而您已安裝的遊戲?qū)@示“玩”，就像 Play 商店一樣。 TapTap 也會(huì)在您開(kāi)始下載之前顯示 APK 檔案的大小。

## 切換到底部的「您」標(biāo)籤即可存取您的遊戲。在這裡，您可以查看已安裝的內(nèi)容並管理更新。

社交方面不只是一個(gè)噱頭嗎？

事實(shí)上，TapTap 與其說(shuō)是一個(gè)應(yīng)用程式商店，不如說(shuō)是一個(gè)社交網(wǎng)路。您看到的大部分內(nèi)容來(lái)自其他用戶(hù)。您可以點(diǎn)擊他們的任何名字來(lái)查看他們的個(gè)人資料。您可以關(guān)注其他用戶(hù)並瀏覽他們的提要。您可以對(duì)人們所說(shuō)的話(huà)進(jìn)行點(diǎn)讚並發(fā)表評(píng)論。

該應(yīng)用程式要求您對(duì)標(biāo)記為「已玩過(guò)」的任何遊戲進(jìn)行評(píng)分並撰寫(xiě)簡(jiǎn)短評(píng)論，從而推動(dòng)您進(jìn)行社交。無(wú)論您將遊戲添加到願(yuàn)望清單還是表明您目前正在玩哪些遊戲，所有這些都是公開(kāi)資訊。

您對(duì)社交組件的看法在很大程度上取決於您對(duì)社交網(wǎng)路的整體看法。假設(shè)您主要喜歡關(guān)注遊戲玩家並談?wù)撨[戲。在這種情況下，有必要建立一個(gè)專(zhuān)門(mén)的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)，與政治、音樂(lè)明星和天氣的咆哮分開(kāi)。

然而，即使您不想?yún)⑴c，這仍然是發(fā)現(xiàn)遊戲的好方法。單一遊戲不需要吸引大量用戶(hù)出現(xiàn)在您的動(dòng)態(tài)中。它可以是某人的遊戲清單的一部分，也可以由您追蹤的用戶(hù)分享。這一切都使得 TapTap 成為一個(gè)有用的工具，可以幫助你清除所有充滿(mǎn)廣告的免費(fèi)遊戲，這些遊戲主要是為了讓你繼續(xù)購(gòu)買(mǎi)虛擬貨幣。

雖然TapTap 並不能完全消除不斷查看您最喜愛(ài)的遊戲部落格或YouTube 頻道的需要，但它可以很好地顯示您可能錯(cuò)過(guò)的遊戲、那些太舊而無(wú)法新聞報(bào)道的遊戲，或者那些被認(rèn)為是值得關(guān)注的遊戲。

以上是TapTap 是什麼？的詳細(xì)內(nèi)容。更多資訊請(qǐng)關(guān)注PHP中文網(wǎng)其他相關(guān)文章！
