Default Oso app?

Anybody consider making an Oso app for smartphones I'm sure it would be pretty popular?!

Tapatalk offers a great app for forums. I have always wondered why OSO hasn't signed on with them yet. River Daves's Place has had it for quite some time and Performance Boat just got on a little while ago as well.

If I had to guess it's a security problem. I've heard of numerous problems with board friendly apps.

That plus, I'm not sure there is really point. Most smart phones can load regular websites decently fast, now. Especially with LTE.

I use Tapatalk with another forum that I frequent and it works pretty well.

One thing I did notice is my Razr Maxx loads pages so quickly that I don't necessarily need a special app to run forums anymore.

The other forum that I use does not allow photo uploads via mobile but if you use Tapatalk you can.

I use Tapatalk for both RDP and Performance Boats, and it works great.. accessing the sites and trying to use them through a regular web browser on a smart phone is like trying to read the newspaper through a keyhole...

Id be on here a lot more if they would enable Tapatalk...

C'MON OSO.. GET WITH THE PROGRAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the cool forums are doing it

Don't need an app with my EVO. It's just like my laptop but smaller.

If you are in an area with bad service, the tapatalk ap is great. I'm sure OSO has a reason for not using, just curious as to why?

I agree - slow or fast connection, Tapatalk is best for reading forums. ...I too would on here a lot more often.

My guess its due to the lack of advertising revenue or maybe Tapatalk doesn't register the advertising impressions the way a normal browser does (<$$$).
