Viewing PPOT....mobile or desktop?
'Bout a month ago, my hotspot croaked and my cell phone service sucks (regardless of carrier...cell tower overload) so I did somerhing I never thought I'd do....smartphone. I find the PPOT experience (all mobile apps actually) to be totally different with pros/cons...which do you use?
Damn mobile app...I meant for this to be a poll

Bulletin boards and mobile are two things that should never be discussed in the same sentence.

Tapatalk is a mobile app that is fairly popular - Pelican behaves with it. Unfortunately, the tapatalk development group has periodically/frequently "improved" the app and changed so much about it that it is not near as user friendly/convenient as it used to be.

Browser for me too, even on my Galaxy. I just stretch (zoom?) the screen a little to make it easier to read. I don't like the mobile device version at all.

Mobile version sucks sweaty donkey balls.
If you need to, just hotspot the new smartphone, and use it to get your desktop onto WiFi. |

? My last laptop croaked sometime back...I'll probaby never drive another "real" computer again. Was using an Ipad that I purchased for my mom a few years ago that she wound up not using....Safari was sloooooow via the hotspot, then used an Iphone that I bought her to see if it helped resolve some of my cell phone issues....it did, so that led me to purchasing an Android phone. Pretty happy with the performance of both the Iphone and Android verses the Ipad, but realize the bandwidth required has been slashed...apples and oranges comparison ...pun intended. I'll just keep sucking the orange ....or maybe this is my last post ever on PPOT....as the crowd roars approval

When at home, I use my laptop, except when I'm in bed I use my phone (but it's getting harder and harder to read it).

Work issued desk unit during business hours, otherwise, on my Ipad at home. I can't stand doing anything on smart phone.
