Kill it. The ads are more intrusive than the ones on the mobile site.

Thanks for feedback.  I haven't accessed the app in about three months....hard to imagine there are ads...if so, they added them.  If I kept it, I would remove all ads and again just provide it as men

Deleting now, thanks for the transparency. If it's an added cost with less functionality it's not worth it!

Well, they offer a product to create an app, but in order to do it you have to  be on tapatalk, which as you know, provides them revenue and people can just access tapatalk and not your created app.  Flawed model.  I can 't seem to figure out how it helps us.  I know some like tapatalk, so I've had it out there quietly, but tapatalk does not help with site costs or growth.  It doesn't bring new users.

I'll delete it and use the website.

Is there a poll we could run on how many use the site via mobile vs via desktop? I'm oddly curious to that distinction.
