... do you tend to load the normal web browser, or are you using Tapatalk?

What's your preference?

And a separate question to those with large phones, do you use apps for forums, or are you okay with the browser?

Working out whether to work on a fluid design for browsers (changes sizes per device used) or mobile apps.

Right now, live on the site, only 48% are using a computer or laptop, so 52% mobiles or tablets. More being tablets (about 35%).
 
Depends, I use Tapatalk on my mobile as the screen is quite small, but when using my iPad I normally use Safari browser wether using WIFI 4g or tethering from my phone.

i use both, if i want to look at profiles etc ill use the desktop version

i dont usually like mobile versions of sites because they have reduced functionality, i know the screen is quite big on a galaxy s5 but we do have zoom etc so its not really an issue

tapatalk or is more useful for alerting you to messages and alerts to be honest.


its rare i use the website on my pc even when im sat there ill use my phone.

not to say there is anything wrong i just find it quicker and easier to post
 
I use the browser on iPad and phone. Haven't used tapatalk for yonks.
 
I own a smart phone but all I do with it is play sodoku, don't use it for browsing at all.
