CP: how do you Proboard?

[smile55k]

I'm on my iPhone about 90% of the time I'm here, and I can't figure out if I prefer the app or the mobile site. What have you found easier to use? How about for posting photos/GIFs? Help me decide!!!

[honeylemon]

Desktop or mobile version.

I DESPISE the tapatalk app.

[hellok2010]

I am on my phone all the time using the mobile web. I've briefly thought about doing the app but it seems to get mixed reviews on here and I just haven't tried it for myself.

[Renarene]

I use the app on my phone. It's taken some getting used to. I stay signed into both so it's easy to switch to the website view.

I haven't quite gotten the hang of the app! I will use it to read the forum in night mode if I can't sleep or if I'm killing time in a waiting room, but I mostly read and post from my laptop. I suppose I should check out the mobile site at some point, but for the moment my vote is for the desktop version.

I haven't gotten the hang of the tapatalk app yet for posting but I'll read threads on it. I prefer the desktop website for posting

[Poppy]

I don't have the app. My phone is refusing. I use the mobile version on my browser. I did this with TB too. I had the app but it always crashed and I could never get it to work.

[slane]

I downloaded tap talk but can't figure it out. I am clueless sometimes.

[lauranicole91]

Tapatalk on my iPhone 99% of the time. I rarely open my computer for anything.

[j3nnyb3nny]

Tried the app and didn't like it. Mobile version is ok but just using the desktop version.
It seems much easier to get between posts etc

[amylee545]

Web browser for me! I really don't like the app.

[nd38]

I use the Talkatap app on my iPhone. Struggling a little bit but getting used to it now.

[mayflowers]

I'm in the app but can't figure out how to start a discussion!

[chemmom1]

I actually really like the app. I just keep mine in night mode all the time. Lol maybe I have sensitive eyes.

This was me until a few days ago after some major hand-holding from lauranicole91. I still prefer my desktop/laptop just for the convenience of checking multiple screens (you know, for easy GIF hunts) but I'm learning to appreciate the app more. Neither are quite as "neat" as TB in terms of aesthetics (in my opinion) but they're growing on me.

Night mode is where it's at for sure alwayslastzz.


ETA: I miss the highlighting feature from TB and the fact that, on the app, you can't see the full list of lovetits without selecting the full web view or whatever.

[animaldoctor]

Mobile web for me, still haven't figured out the app. I couldn't post my hdbd pic from the app either, but it was likely user error.

[Deleted]

I use the tapatalk app from my iPhone, which is pretty easy to use, but about once a day I'll use the desktop site for awhile, so I can see notifications more easily.

[emilyanimals15]

I use the app- I'm just never on a computer at home

[smile55k]

What is this "night mode" for the app I've been hearing about?

From the board home screen, If you tap on the little orange dude at the bottom right, it will bring you to a new screen there will be a small "gear" at the top right - tap on that and look about midway down...it'll let you toggle between views or reading modes.

Can't figure out the app...so the website it is. I do wish that proboards would do this one thing that TB did:

Sometimes I would read a thread that was like 4 pages long...I would come back to it later and it was 6 pages long. TB would automatically jump to where I had stopped reading before. I wish this site did that!

Awesome, thanks! Now I won't blind my DH in bed at night.

If you're on mobile, you can click on the "new" next to the thread and it should go to the last one you read.

Whaaaaat. Genius! Thank you!

[veenie]

I am mostly on the app, but will occasionally jump to the mobile/desktop site. The app did take some getting used to!

[lauranicole91]

Just be glad y'all didn't have to learn how to use two different apps. When my 2012 BMB did a mass exodus to proboards, Proboards actually had their own app. And it wasn't free. Then one day about 6 months ago or something, they made an announcement that they weren't going to fund the app anymore and to get tapatalk instead. So all of us phone users had to relearn stuff.

[robotpcr]

I haven't tried the app. 99% of the time I'm on my laptop or work computer so I haven't felt the need.

[mlbrooks]

I use the app on my phone mostly and stay logged in on the mobile as well and switch back and forth. The only way I get notifications is through the mobile instead of the app.

I use the desktop version at work though- easier for me to look at than being on my phone.

[shmee]

Desktop at work, tapatalk at home

[corrys12]

I only use my phone. I'm not on my computet at home much. I use the Tapatalk, took me a bit to figure it out. There is a whole thread on here that talks about how to get set up. Thank goodness for that. Since I'm only on the app I have no clue what I might be missing out on on the computer version.
