I've been using my PC to log on so far..
I was wondering if anyone accesses myLot from their phones and/or tablets?
If so what device(s) do you use?
Is the connection stable?
Do you see the ads?
Do you use it to do posts or just reply to comments etc?
Thanks for sharing your experience!

Is there an app in the mobile store for this site or do you just log onto the internet like normal to view it?

It works acceptably on mobile devices, although the site definitely isn't optimized for them. I've used it on both my Android tablet and my iPod Touch. You can do everything you do from the site on your PC on other devices, but keep in mind that the pencil icon in the top corner might not show up unless you zoom out of a page.
On some devices the Respond/Comment/Like/Tag/etc. links will show up if you tap the area where they're supposed to be. Others just display them all the time.

That's interesting! I wasn't able to locate any Apps for myLot, it's good to know that the site itself works well on different devices!

@Drosophila myLot unfortunately doesn't have an app out yet, and as far as I know there are no plans to build one at this point.
It's something that I'm really hoping will become available in the relatively near future, though. At the very least, I'd love to have a site that's a little more mobile-friendly. I know a lot of people have issues with seeing the link to post discussions, for example.

@yukimori Tbh most of the Apps are not as good as the sites (except Facebook), I can't seem to do half of what needs to be done on an App. Gmail is a primary example of that!

Most of the time I just use computer to access to Mylot because typing is faster. Since there is no app for Mylot, so it is inconvenient to type by cellphone or tablet. I wish there can be an app for Mylot because today people often use cellphone and tablet.

@Drosophila As we can only access to Mylot with the cellphone browser. It is very inconvenient to type.

@youless I agree! I tried to use it for the past 3 days it's been fairly challenging.

I works ok although I have found it slow, I've tried to write a post but couldn't although maybe if I tried long I could have done.
If I'm out then I may check my account or maybe leave a comment.

I tried it on a friend's Iphone 5, too small the fonts and so on.

I've used my smartphone to write discussions a few times, but I find it rather inconvenient when it comes to checking notifications and reading other people's discussions. I prefer using my computer.
