I don't use tapatalk here at Ohio Reef, mainly because of the admin features I need to access. But on other forums, I use tapatalk or non-graphical forum interfaces where I can on my iphone. On my Ipad I use the full web browser interfaces, although most have horrible time with IOS10 keyboards and selecting text.
I have no idea what software packages you are evaluating, but as long as it has a option for a graphically trimmed mobile experience, then it should be fine.
