    Never used Tapatalk, But am I correct in thinking its Forum based? And the fact if using 3/4G Date it reduces the amount needed to load pages etc?
    Hell, I'm getting deep into technology tonight.

    If you have a smart phone, Tapatalk is a must for viewing any forum,

    Also if you read multiple forums they are all accessible from within the Tapatalk app

    I use Tapatalk4 for Android (which sadly is no longer free), but I think it's fine. Works very well in fact. What issues have you had?

    On 4, the interface is shit and some features have gone missing (eg, easy way to view your own posts).
    It would also not default to a favourites/subscribed view for me (even although the feature exists in the settings menu)

    On my phone using Tapatalk4 I get views for unread, subscribed and participated threads. In fact it's a lot easier to find stuff on the phone than it is on the full website. I know there are a couple of versions out there which look different and the version I use recently updated to make it no longer free, but it was only £1.99 and it's well worth it imo.

    This is the one I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quoord.tapatalkHD&hl=en
