Phone vs PC?
So I was wondering, when it comes to going on CB, do you guys use a phone/tablet or a PC/laptop? Because I've tried both and noticed some features are harder to access on a phone! Plus typing, oh my goodness, it is awful. I was once typing Gared's name and it put "Fared" and autocorrected an AE's to "Karl". I mean, seriously, it is awful!
Although I could turn off auto correct...
I might.
Anyways, what do you all use? I prefer Chromebook.

I go on an iPod when I'm just glancing through quickly, but my mom prefers that I use a computer when I'm actually going on.
I've found that it is much easier to type on a computer, and on my iPod it sometimes puts my typing in the name box instead of the body box. It's very weird.

Yeah, tell me about it! I've never used an iPod, but I figure it is like a phone, right?

Yes. It's basically a phone, except that it doesn't have cellular data, so it can't call or text.

I use a Mac! Though sometimes during the school year I use our school-regulated iPads since, thank goodness, the CB isn't blocked. I don't usually use it on long posts, though - iPads are tough to type on.

Most of the time I use my tablet, but I prefer computer. It's just that I don't get much time on the computer, but I can use my tablet whenever I want.

I prefer using my chromebook because it's so muck faster and easier, but I use my phone/iPad a lot.

During the school year, I only use my school chromebook, but in the summer, I have two choices- my IPad or a 13-year-old Mac that sometimes chooses to work and sometimes doesn't.

I'm usually on an tablet, occasionally a Mac. I find it a lot easier to type than on a phone.

I've never used anything but our family's desktop computer and this MacBook Air, which I'm typing on right now. I got it for schoolwork in 6th grade, and since I don't have a phone, tablet, or anything else, tada! It works very well.

I use this giant 8 year old Mac that I share with my brother. I wish I had a laptop, but as it is, I have a computer that takes up the entire computer desk in our living room, with a plug that's always falling out. I don't use my tablet(also shared with my bro,) because I HATE phone/tablet keyboards. I also have a phone, but it's only for calling and texting- I go places by myself and I need a phone for that.

I tried to do it at school once and my teacher got mad...

I use my windows PC. I have a gaming laptop, so I usually have 20 things in the background when I'm running Cricket. I love my computer so much, we're going to get married someday.

I use anything I can! When typing something like an RP post, I use my PC if I can. My school gave us iPads, so I'd sometimes go on Cricket during passing time. In the car, I use my phone, and I sometimes, albeit rarely, use the family iPad, which I'm using right now.

I usually use my old (really old) desktop or my iPad. I prefer the desktop, especially for typing, but I can only post pictures using the iPad.

Wow, I never knew so many of you used PCs/Macs/Chromebooks! I mean, makes sense because it is soooo hard to type on a phone. But that is pretty cool!
