I don't like mobile sites in general so I was going to checkout the MR mobile site for comparison, but the regular website doesn't seem to have a link to it so I couldn't. I tried it in the past and did not care for it at all.
Tapatalk goes straight to the first unread post in a thread for me - I have it setup to do that. It's also easier to see what threads have new posts you haven't read - maybe because I use the dark theme. On the web it depends on the browser if you can easily see that or not.
Tapatalk can also give me a list of threads I subscribe to or a list of those I have participated in and I can get to those lists and switch back and forth very easily.
I can quickly checkout multiple forums more easily in one app. The ability to have a larger font size on every page I go to is good too - on a lot of browsers you have to double tap to zoom in on every page.
It's overall just much easier to navigate on mobile devices with Tapatalk than on mobile browsers. I use a browser for other sites on both my phone and tablet so I am comfortable using the browser already and still prefer Tapatalk.
The ability to use a dark theme is very important to me - the bright white of browsers gives me eyestrain.
As someone else already said, there is a free version on Amazon you can check out if you're unsure, but 99¢ is cheap enough to try it anyway.
One thing that is better on a browser is you can give karma. You can't on Tapatalk because that isn't a regular forum function.
