    I just downloaded it last week. MUCH easier to enjoy the boards with tapatalk, IMO. I say go for it!

    I didn't want to pay the money. Then Car-seat.org got a free version that makes it so much easier to read. So I'm getting Tapatalk as soon as I can get another itunes card to purchase it

    Tapatalk is definitely worth the money.

    When you view the forum in a full browser, you get some additional functionality, but since the full webpage is displayed, you usually have to zoom in/out repeatedly to read a post, navigate threads, etc.

    With Tapatalk, you lose a little functionality (e.g. polls, signatures), but the meat of the forum is there and it's in a much more easily read format. You don't have to fiddle with shrinking/enlarging parts of the webpage so you can read it. It's analogous to having a "mobile version" of a website.

    Here are some screenshots of Tapatalk from my iPhone:





    ETA: For a tablet, Tapatalk might not be worth it since tablets are large enough to display full websites that are easy to read and navigate, but for a smartphone, Tapatalk is priceless, IMO.

    So if you have an iPhone AND iPad, you have to buy 2 different versions?
