General question to the community as to how the everyone consumes their WW content?

I use Tapatalk without subscription, and have for years; recently the amount of advertising is making it almost unusable (well at least extremely annoying!). Is that everyone else’s experience or do you all pay for the subscription (or use something else?) - I assume the adverts disappear entirely?.

I guess also a question to the Mods as to whether there are alternative applications which are available; Tapatalk does a decent job but wondered if other options had been considered?

At the end of the day, I will blow 99p a month but just interested to hear others experiences

I use the ad free version it’s great nothing else on the market really.
Fora is app that is junk but it is only for forums that are owned by the company.

Are there any advantages with Tapatalk over just use a regular browser?

You can post images from your phone easily.
You can notifications from all the forums that you view in tapatalk in one place.
You can see the forum in a better format than a standard browser on your phone

I do pay for it, usually waiting the sales they do, regularly. I can’t really remember how was the free version but I recall a limitation posting multiple pictures was annoying / not possible with the free version.
As of alternatives I am not sure.

What I wondered was if WW looses something if I use Tapatalk over web browser? I may think about add revenue?

I have the same question. On mobile I’ve paid for Talpatalk to read without ads. On the desktop/laptop the browser experience is pretty much dysfunctional. There are more ads than content.

It seems to create two different account logins, one through Tapatalk (this user), and a I have a second separate account registered directly to the WW site. Does that sound right or is there a better way?

Would love to find an ad free solution for the computer in addition to mobile.

Given up on tapatalk for a few forums a long time ago on phone and tablet. Prefer access to more features and better vision of the entire board using the browser.

If it was capable of detecting personal attacks and insults that this forum is by far the worst for, of any forum I am on, I would use it again. I don't see that happening unfortunately.
