Just got a cell phone.....Have a couple of ??

When we were in IDAHO for a couple of weeks Patti and our Daughter Lisa thought I needed a cell phone so Lisa gave me on of their "old" phones. A Samsung Exhibit II 4G.
Question 1: Can I listen to radio stations/BOBCAT Games? Or is there an app for scores that would be recommended?
Question 2: I used it to follow BOBCAT NATION while I was in IDAHO. When I went on it asked me about TapaTalk. Is that necessary or does it make it easier?

I am learning but it is slow.

Thanks

For the radio/cat games, the Radiopup app works well to stream XL Country's broadcast.

As for tapatalk...I've never used it on any of my mobile devices and seem to get along just fine.

I've been using Tapatalk for a couple years now and will never go back. It's worth the couple bucks price tag. It makes reading forums like this soooo much easier.

tapatalk (android) is free now, has an ad on the bottom like other free apps though.

much easier to navigate the board than a browser on a phone.

I use ESPN's ScoreCenter, It sync with the ESPN account and shows the teams I want (BSC and a few more)

You can drill down and get more info (box score ect..) if you want which I sometiems do after a game is over.

You can watch Big Sky TV on your mobile device with the ... WatchBigSky app is what I think its called.

RadioPup for XL Country.

I use Yahoo Sports for scores, find it much better than ESPN. Doesn't really give you real-time stats or anything though, but for just scores it's great.

I don't get the whole Tapatalk thing. I don't find it a good investment at all. All smartphones nowadays can view a full web page quite easily in landscape, so I don't know why you wouldn't just do that. Buy hey, I know everybody has their preferences.

I think in the early days of web-enabled smartphones, people stroked their egos by letting everybody else know they posted from a mobile device.

Tapatalk is easier to read, and it uses less data.

I use Google Chrome browser on my iPhone and can listen to just about anything directly from the broadcast's source page. I assume that is the native browser on Droid phones....

I don't know about stroking egos, most of the programs on the phone had built in signatures, like Tapatalk, and unless you manually changed your settings it would be there every time. I had mine for a while because I was too lazy to change it.

I love Tapatalk. It organizes forum layouts much better than it would on the web, uses less data so the threads load faster, and best of all it remembers the latest post on the thread last time you visited, so when you click on a thread next time it automatically takes you to the latest message in that thread.

It's free now... but I paid for it and was happy with that investment.
