« on: July 27, 2015, 11:23:39 AM »
I finally joined the 21st century (insert bad King Crimson joke) and got a smart phone.  Yay for me.  So now that I have it, I figured I might as well use it, and one of the things I've been trying to research is Tapatalk which, among other things, apparently can be used to read and post on discussion forums.

Reviews of Tapatalk vary widely.  Some love it, some hate it, and even the mixed reviews seem to agree that it could be better.  Too much crap, older version was leaner and cleaner, etc.  Presumably if I get it at all, it'll be the most recent version, the one which more people seem to dislike.

Then there's the issue that it doesn't work with all forums anyway.  So the first question would be whether or not it can even be used with DTF.  I sure as hell don't want to download an app and wrestle with it for an hour, only to learn that the site I'm trying to get set up isn't using compatible software in the first place.

So what are people's experience with Tapatalk?  And does it work with DTF?

Not 100% sure if it works here - usually websites that work with it will prompt you to download it, but I can access DTF on my phone's browser just fine.

I can access DTF via Chrome, it's just that I have to zoom and center things and all that in order to read things.  An app would presumably do all that for me and present the text properly.

Yeah, looked into it and then never followed up.  Been ignoring everyone's questions for four years now.

I'm still interested in other people's experience with Tapatalk.  Incredibly, DTF is not the only forum I visit.

A forum I used to visit uses it.  Functionality is a lot more limited than a full browser.  Probably doesn't warrant Bosk or XJ putting in the hours to test and run it though - or the cost (assuming there is one).

I would just stick to the normal, basic uses of a smartphone:   sexting, sending bad selfies, surfing bad porn that is really too small to actually use for anything nefarious, sending drunk texts, and quick googling facts I should already know but am forgetting in my old age.
