[POLL] Interest in mobile access to bogleheads forum.

Post by rr2 »

For the purposes of this POLL, a mobile device would be either a phone or a tablet. For example an iPhone, iPad, Droid phone, Galaxy Tab etc. It could be running Apple iOS or Google android. There have been a few threads. I just wanted to gauge how much interest there was.

I do use tapatalk app (available for both iOS and Android) extensively to access a lot of forums. It is great for browsing, searching, and posting especially on small displays. I do currently use the mobile browsers on my iPhone to access bogleheads.org. This is ok for browsing but posting and replying is cumbersome.

I'm going to cut this off. A mobile-friendly version is something I'm going to do eventually, but I do not like tapatalk.

Edit: after further reflection, I unlocked this since it doesn't violate any forum policies. But my response still stands.

Alex: Thanks for the response. I was not aware of your strong objections to Tapatalk. May I ask for the reasons for this? Obviously it is your prerogative to do what you think is best.

There's a dedicated tapatalk thread here: Tapatalk Integration

I have looked at the forum posts on my iPad.
