There is 0 difference in functionality between a mobile style like this and Tapatalk. Call Tapatalk an app, sure, all it is is a browser unique to forums who have it installed. The difference being a mobile skin is displayed to every single visitor who visits, for free, without having to pay or download anything.

There is actually a ton of difference as far as usability. You wouldn't know, because you haven't bought the app, so you really cant jump to these conclusions.

This is exactly what I've been preaching the ENTIRE time. The vBulletin people are not stupid, thank God. Anyone who gets a decent amount of mobile traffic would be nuts to think that offering a paid app is good business. It's completely the opposite. The only time it would be good business is if YOU were the one capitalizing from app sales - not some cheesy app company.



This blows Tapatalk completely out of the water. Ah, such a nice thing to discover. Now I don't have to pay an app developer! W00t!

Except it only works for vBulletin forums. If you have vBulletin forum goers with a smartphone, chances are that a good portion of them already own Tapatalk for other forums.

edit: But in truth, you should install them ALL. Its never a good idea to inhibit your users.
