    I am using android. Making a comment, suddenly I fly to the top of the site and I must scroll down again to continue, as it happens more than once in the same thread, you loose the motivation.

    Hmm, one more app, pretty skeptical, but thx anyway I might give it a go, as this is not a sustainable solution.

    Am I the only one that found the app made I worse? I'm using an iphone and not a tablet but I personally hated the app in comparison to just using my phone on the desktop site.

    How is it worse? I find it great that the app uses less data than the browser way.

    Only problem with the app is that it doesn't display mentions properly!

    That fluctuates. ;)

    Another advantage is that subscription updates are instantaneous... instead of waiting for email to update.

    I guess the data thing I didn't notice because I only used it on wifi. Does it really update faster? That kinda neat.

    As I have ot tried it yet, I cannot say that is a bad solution. It is an extra thing just to make it work, I feel its like buying a car, but you need a helicopter to move it. It would be nice if it just worked from the browser.

    Also having an app for this and an app for that, all these apps. As you can guess I am not an app fan, I prefer browsers :)

    Though the less data is not problem for me, it is a good point.

    Lots of forums are Tapatalk compatible. So its a one-stop-solution for forum access.

    Not only less data use, but also less battery drain than a browser.
