Ok, silly question, why do you need an app as opposed to just using a browser? Ok, not so silly for me, I don't have an Android (yet).

Comes down to convenience really. You CAN view it on your phone just using the browser, but the forum isn't optimized for viewing on such a small screen. There is a mobile option for viewing it in the style chooser, but I've never been able to get it to work on my Droid. Viewing it on a 4.3 inch device leaves you constantly zooming in and out and swiping in every direction to navigate each screen. Tapatalk IS formatted for viewing on a handheld device - Loads images in a mobile friendly format, no need to zoom in or slide side to side to read text, ect.
