What would the difference in that and the mobile version be?

Thank you.

Probably 98% of my use of the site is on my phone on the mobile version. It has some drawbacks but it's not bad.

I never even thought of trying it on my phone. It's not bad.

Apps tend to have a different look and feel and functionality than the mobile version of Web sites, more suited to a phone. But this will certainly do for now. Thanks.
