I think the big thing about using a forum app such as Tapatalk is that it cuts down on load times vs using a browser on your phone. That and it offers alot more options then even a basic forum does. (or maybe i havent figured out how to use them in this forum.) Such as viewing posts that you have participated in; showing posts that are new and unread; and even free image hosting. I remember seeing JVs post awhile ago when tapatalk was brought up and his concern was forum security. I'm a member of many other forums some bigger and some smaller, and they all use tapatalk and havent had any security issues (atleast none brought up to the public.) All in all yea using a browser still works but it's all about ease of use right?
