I tend to be a bit "behind the times" so I just got my first ever smart phone yesterday. I remember people on the site talking about using Tapatalk for posting to NCKA so I looked into it. Even after reading the descriptions I still can't figure out what Tapatalk does that I can't already do just by navigating to NCKA on my phone and posting just like I would on my computer. Could anybody explain to me what Tapatalk actually does that makes it preferable to accessing and posting regularly?

Im no tech geek so my interpretation is that its just an interface thats more user friendly for viewing the forum from a 3" screen......when im on my browser I have to shrink and expand every page to be able to read text and navigate the site, with tappatalk it all fits and is in a readable text size.  Plus I can upload photos directly from my phone without uploading them to another host site first. There may be more to it, im sure ill discover more later.

Thanks!
I'm on an iPhone 4 and still learning the features. I think I'll wait until I get comfortable before buying Tapatalk.

It's cool to use one phones, like others said its a lil' easier to read and a lil' more organized (far less scrolling and enlarging screens to view stuff).  The feature I like the most is the picture uploads, since i've not found another way to do so easily.  That makes "live" reports possible  :smt002

You can punch in the code that represents the smiley and it will show on the board.

My phone cuts off pics in the browser. Not in tapatalk. Full smiles would be nice. I chose to allow banner ads to help support ncka and wch, but none appear. J, I think it's worth the three bucks. Less data transfer to get the skinny on the fly.

Being able to post pics is the main reason I got it. Now if there was an App that could expand my day from 24 hours to about 30 hours or so, I may have more time for fishing... Or I could not work so much...

Never bought any other apps but I really like it.  It makes super easy & fast to browse through NCKA site.  I like the feature of Latest.  It shows latest reply & post in one quick page.
