L19 on the iPad

Post by SpongeBob »

Yeah right, I confess to have surrendered to the dark side ... :-)

I am curious about how you access the L19 forum:
    Safari
    Other browser like Mercury
    Tapatalk App
    Forum Runner App
    ...

I use Safari, which works fine except for tapping through sgf's, which is really painful.

Tapatalk but sgfs don't display properly. Clear and easy to read though otherwise.

I use Safari. An iPad is big enough that "normal" browsing is good enough

I use Atomic Browser because you can identify it as a desktop browser and avoid mobile sites which are designed for phones. There are some other browsers that also have this feature.

As a browser I recommend iCab Mobile - with ability to download/upload of any files. I'm using it with GoodReader (must have app) linked to my DropBox for pdf and sgf files and it's a good combo. For quick acces to L19 I use TouchBB (probably Tapatalk is better), and it provides fast acces to multiple forums you use so for that it's good, but not the best option for viewing sgf files, problem or diagrams and iCab browser will be better I think for attaching files at least.

This is blowing my mind. I knew there were other browsers for the iPad, but had never even considered using them.

Some of the browser alternatives have free versions so you can experiment before buying the paid version.
