I was using Google to access ATOT. It's just a lot easier using Tapatalk. Adding pics is a lot easier as well. Another positive is the app lets me know who quoted my response, and who contributed to my thread. The downside is I can't make a poll, and linking a website is not as fluid on this app.So can I. I use a new thing called a "browser". The jury's still out, but so far it works well for accessing networked assets.
Not a bad app to use.

It's not Spyware if I myself install it and consent to the T&C. And if what they process is not PII I really couldn't care.
No. And unfortunately, every time i open the forum with my phone, tapatalk presents itself again and again.![]()
Use a desktop useragent.
Of course it is. Almost all spyware is installed intentionally by people agreeing to the terms. "It's only metadata" is bullshit. It was bullshit last year, and it's bullshit now.
