I just got an Android tablet, is tapatalk the best way to view the forum on it, or are there other options?

Surely it has a browser, so why not just come to the usual www.modelenginemaker.com site. I have done that and continue to do so on my android phone and also my Kindle tablet. To me that is better than Tapatalk by far.

I use an iPad and I read the forum using the web browser. When I post build logs I use Tapatalk because of its built in picture hosting service. It works well for that.

Thanks guys. Sure it has a browser and that is how I have been viewing here, I just didn't know if there was an advantage to using tapatalk.

I personally found Tapatalk a disadvantage.  I tried it for a while (many years back) and went back to straight browser.  I didn't like the way it handled pictures at all.  I much prefer the browser experience.

But some people like Tapatalk.  So, try it and use it if you like it.  I just didn't like it.

Same here Kim. Maybe it's because I am so used to the full site, but I find Tapatalk very clunky!!

like others here I prefer the browser I found Tapatalk to painful to use and no real benefit.

Browser here as well tap talk seems clumsy
My aim is for a accurate part with a good finish
