Question / Forum Browsing on iPhone

battists · 07-13-2015, 01:34 PM

Hey folks,

Anyone know a good app for browsing forums like this one on an iPhone?

Tapatalk seems to be the "default" option, but everything I read about it is downright horrifying, so I haven't tried it.

I use Tapatalk, its not the greatest but it works. Couldn't really find anything else with better ratings or reviews.

I just use Safari to browse the forums on my iPhone and seem to get around just fine with no complications. I'm not sure I see the appeal of a separate app, IMHO.

Yeah, I use Chrome on my iPhone. I'll usually have to zoom in to make sure I tap the right button or thread, but it works pretty well.

I use tapatalk. It does suck at times (and for a time a few months back they changed the interface every 2 weeks), but for simple browsing, it works fine. It has some weird updating where it won't tell me unread threads properly, but if I want more, I just wait until I'm back on a desktop, or as the other guys mentioned, switch to using Chrome.

Any particular reason to use chrome over Safari on iPhone?

For me I use Chrome on my PC as well so if I sign in with my google name then all of my bookmarks show up on my phone, too.

I like Tapatalk simply because of the 'participated' category. I don't have to hunt down threads that I have posted in. I also get a pop up notification when someone posts in a subscribed thread , without cluttering up email.
