What's a smart phone?

My phone's crank still works fine.

IMO .. such apps are a waste of digital storage for the most part.
If you post via a computer, you will likely continue to post with a computer since you already know how.
About the only time it might come in handy is when you wish to share something while on vacation where you cant find WiFi and even then there are ways to post without the app if your willing to hack at it a while.

I visit several different forums, and have had smart phones for years.

I think I downloaded it once, then uninstalled it. I would rather look at the desktop version, even on the smart phone.

Well Andy if you are still getting fish, stick with it. Just watch out for the raccoon ranger

Like Sipowicz I had been wondering if tapatalk was worth having. Does anyone have it that thinks it is worthwhile? What are the advantages.

You don't have to be at home to post "I'll Take IT".

I have Tapatalk on my Motorola/Android smartphone. It does make using this forum on my phone easier, IMHO. Simplifies the controls, kind of.

You know, sometimes I'm waiting somewhere and I've got a little time, so I use my phone to check on you guys. I worry.

Absolutely, I have made posts here on my cell phone without tapatalk. I just thought it might make it easier. So far I remain unconvinced.
