I don't think it is in the directory. I tried to do set it up last year to convert my current setup and after a week got nowhere. Maybe it will be an option in the future.
Delete your tapatalk account and delete the app. They steal data and the reviews are horrible. You can read more about their intended marketing style plan on the Internet from other users.
Eventually you will most likely have to pay for some features of tapatalk. Their idea is that they want you to access as many tapatalk and proboards owned forums as possible, through their app.
They don't own proboards, but have become the chosen host for the proboards mobile platform. I don't know why proboards chose them, because there sure are lots more better companies that host desktop and mobile clients for thousands of forums.
I have the proboards app for iPhone. It is a paid app. It may not be available anymore. It takes a couple of minutes to get it setup and has been glitchy every 6-8 months for a day but other than not being able to use its photo linking from my phone library (doesn't work and never has) it's great for the boards.
Eventually they will kill support for it (they have said so) and it won't work anymore but it still works on my brand new iPhone (6 plus). This means I will have to resort to using safari or my home computer and my posts will drop considerably. Right now I am able to check the boards at will and contribute to what is relevant nearly instantly.
So for now I'd suggest getting the proboards mobile app if it's still around and I can help you set it up. Otherwise definitely just use your browser.

No problem. I should clarify that the stealing of data seems to be for third party marketing purposes which they obviously share/sell.
I didn't get too far into reading about it, but once I started to read from other people that the app is pretty intrusive as far as what you agree to when you use it, it wasn't something many people were thrilled with.
Also you can read the App Store or Play store reviews for the tapatalk app and see some feedback as well as on the Internet. There's enough info, as there are thousands of proboards forums dealing with the same thing.
