Sure, if you do a lot of forum browsing from your phone/mobile device.
I do.

The most basic version is no cost to the forum owner. The $700 version allows forum owners to distribute their own app. The $3000 version allows more options for the custom app. All the forums I visit use the free version. I've seen one forum use the $700 version, but I never downloaded their app (instead I used the standard app).

When a mobile user visits the forum using a web browser, they get a one-time pop-up explaining that the forum is available in Tapatalk. You can ignore it and get the standard web experience (yuk). It doesn't force or require users to do anything different. In order to get the Tapatalk experience, you launch the Tapatalk app instead of a web browser.
