How do you browse GBAtemp with your phone?

KokoseiJ · Mar 15, 2021

I'm using Tapatalk now, but this damn thing is drinking my battery as if it was a Game Gear.

I could use Firefox- but I wonder if there's another fancy app for browsing this forum.

There isn't an app, the site scales to work on a phone so you're expected to use that in your browser and many people already do so, me included.

If you want an app-like experience you can use your browsers feature to add a homescreen shortcut and it should wrap it up nicely for you so it looks and behaves like an app rather than a browser tab.

I think it's good enough. never thought its mobile UI would be this decent.

at least firefox is not eating up my battery, guess I'll live with this from now on.

I haven't used tapatalk in years, but I remember getting to a point where it wasn't showing everything I'd see on the website. Don't remember the details, don't know if it ever got updated to compensate.
gbatemp's mobile website is decent these days.

tapatalk can be bad
i used it once and never used it
bleh

KokoseiJ · Mar 15, 2021

well I mean... haven't met problems other than same ads over and over, notorious battery consumption and slow notification...

but it doesn't show signatures too and disadvantages above are already big enough to move to web, I guess.

EDIT: on yeah it also didn't uptate your pfp lol

nah you can disable that, I turned that thing off as soon as I found that out. it sucks ass.

Image self hosting is kinda comfy tho. but thinking about resoultion limit and stuffs, it really isn't a great benefit either.

I actually used Tapatalk before I used gbatemp so when I tried joining it didnt work because the register link was trying to open in Tapatalk. I had to delete it to join then get it again

I use safari on my iPhone. Works great! Except when attaching pictures in PMs. I just can’t.

I just use Firefox

Stwert · Apr 12, 2021

Just Safari, works fine for me, so why use anything else.

Have you tried robinhood? It’s a great gbatemp nft management app.

I use safari, never used any other app.

Chary · Apr 15, 2021

Safari + patreon / pure ad blocker or just Brave on Android.

Deleted User · Apr 15, 2021

Firefox w/ noScript

smileyhead · Apr 15, 2021

I use the mobile website on Chrome. I remember trying Tapatalk for a bit in the past, but the website feels vastly superior.

Julie_Pilgrim · Apr 15, 2021

Not on mobile, on an ipad(close enough i guess) i use safari and i have a pihole for blocking ads

godreborn · Apr 15, 2021

I have major problems using gbatemp on my phone. randomly, I can't press any links. the only other site I go to is psx place, and I don't recall having that issue with it. it doesn't happen to often when I'm on wifi, it's just when I'm using my data mostly like when I'm away from home.

btw, I just use chrome. I don't really understand what tapatalk is. I think I have it on my phone, but I've never really used it.
