It's more "visual friendly" on mobile devices to me than than trying to load the full site on the phone. Unless you like being disturbed a thousand times a day, disable the notifications, if you install it!

It's useful for those who participate in several different forums as it manages all your notifications and passwords and such in one place.

On the IPad things are good; on the phone, I get two different versions. One is near impossible to use, down at the bottom there is a tab to bring up the “full site.”

i figured that it must have a benefit on some devices, since so many use it.

I thoroughly enjoy the app. It allows me to follow threads I'm participating in, forums I'm subscribed to and read and send PM's quite easily. I have a Galaxy Note 9 and I prefer Tapatalk to either the full site in Chrome or even the mobile version that I can use with vB. I paid for Tapatalk years ago so I don't get the ads or the pop-ups that others may get. The Pacers forum and a couple of other forums that I occasionally participate on work well with Tapatalk as well.

I don't understand how anyone can stand to post without a keyboard. I say this while I attempt to respond using a video-game controller.

I never learned how to competently use a cellphone. They're like alien devices to me. Watching me attempt to use one of those demonic devices is cause to break out the popcorn.

Oh I'm a whiz with smartphones, and I installed Tapatalk, I just dislike the user interface. I think it's clunky.
But even if it wasn't clunky, I'm with DH on one thing, I dislike typing on a glass screen, fat-finger nightmares abound.

I figure it's bad enough that I have to respond to emails on it, DP can wait till I get home and use "the big iron".
I'm considering getting a Surface Pro however. They're mature technology now and the wife absolutely adores hers.

At the behest of certain family members that are worried about me, I plan on getting another phone sooner or later, but I'm hoping to get something with actual buttons. I've got big hands. At my work, we use a phone-like device to scan merchandise, and I absolutely hate the touch-screen. Sometimes technology is cool, but not neccessarily more practical for everyone.
