Found what JV said last year about Tapatalk

It's not actually free though:

users have to buy the app
tapatalk removes existing trader adverts
tapatalk takes commission on other advert arrangements it allows

 :smiley:

Not sure how current the above is but its an answer I guess  :smiley:

And somewhere in here is what was changed  :grin:

Think it's all still pretty much covered by the above quotes.

The last major upgrade did make it much more phone/pad friendly.

The only problem with the S2 is that it's small. I don't have any issues at all using android on my nexus 10 with Firefox beta.

The great thing about not using Tapatalk is it depresses the number of idiots the forum attracts.

Mostly.

Use Firefox - it's a great app to browse websites (like this one) and as far as I can make out it works just fine on iPad and Android.

Sounds like a user issue to me.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

There are idiots on tapatalk? I didn't know this, actually I don't use it as I wasn't going to pay the £2 if this forum couldn't be accessed anyway, haha!

Anyway, here is how it appears on my mobile so you can see what I'm talking about.  Note how some posts appear so tiny they often are basically invisible.  And this is just reading, the interface is 100x worse when trying to post.

Using CHROME:


Using FIREFOX:


Using ONE:


Firefox is probably the worst, One is the best.

Now that said, ONE has just updated itself and looks a bit better now.  I haven't tried using the drop down menus or navigating or posting though...

EDIT:

Here is how the updated ONE looks.  Much much better, although, now there are no images displayed and no buttons for posting or voting or anything... progress though!

Download an app called Dolphin Browser HD. Can then set it to desktop display, double tap and it auto sizes the text to the screen.

Best mobile browser I've used.

I had the same issue with Chrome, I think I get round it by adjusting the font size...

I'll have a play and see if I can remember though

Chrome for Android updates and suddenly all is well in the world!  Well, it stretches images and the "notify" button doesn't seem to work but compared to before this is fantastic!
