I use both all day long. PC is easier for chianing, editing profile, staff work. Mobile is better for alerts / remembering to fly / take drugs. Mobile is better for the easy little middle of making dinner and your …

For iphone owners such as myself, we get the short end of the stick in terms of doctorn :( so the PC is super handy given it’s such a lovely thing to have.
Oh and if you’re an iOS, the torn App won’t get updates like the android one does! x.x

It's a lot faster to navigate. You can install plugins like DocTorn (this can be achieved on Android with KiwiBrowser). Scripting with tools like TamperMonkey. Many fights lined up and quick tab switching for chaining.
The UI/UX is just so much better. It's like night and day.
The only thing I find superior on mobile is the list of flight destinations sorted by flight length on mobile, versus the map on web.

You can take phone everywhere.
Climbing a volcano and need to take xanax - done
Cuddle time with your girlfriend, and must rehab - done
Disco, disco, party, party and nerve is full - done
Sitting in the traffic jam and must travel back - done

I mainly use mobile.
However pc is faster so occasionally swap to war or recruit.
Saying that I now war with my phone in tablet mode and is ok

Good point. I forgot about volcano xanax.
PC is much easier to have multiple tabs open, on phone you could do split screen if you have that feature, but I don't find it very pleasant as the screen is much smaller.
Got to take a monster dump after your morning coffee...?
Almost.....done!

I actually find mobile faster once you are familiar with the layout and know the shortcuts.
I know some people have used both in the past for certain tasks
Ie: a buy mugger might buy on PC and have your profile up on mobile to seamlessly attack without wasting precious mouse travel time swapping tabs and clicking the attack button

The vast majority of my play time is on mobile, and I'm fine with it. I am on Android, so I can use DoctorN and scripts in Firefox, which gets used exclusively for Torn. Even without this, I would use a browser over the app for the ability to use tabs.
Edit: I also do a lot of navigation through the browser itself rather than Torn's interface. I have the pages I use the most bookmarked, and because I use Firefox for Torn only, I can start typing the name of a page and it suggests it from my history. Saves clicking through the "city" page or scrolling the top navigation bar as much.

I only play mobile via browser, because the app is trash.
I have the app downloaded just for the notifications.
But really the only issue I've had is some lag, but then again I also don't really do much on here. Not a very big player, dont travel, do much trading etc.

you can do actions alot faster when you have several browsers open
I use PC only when i chain or wall slut, otherwise phone.
Not sure about phones, but on my tablet it autos to desktop display, with super tiny tabs.
Gotta love missing the crimes tab 3 times in a row...

I am always on my phone. I work using my phone, i talk to my fam using my phone, I study using my phone, so flexibility with phone app beats anything pc can offer to me. I can't imagine gaming with pc ever again.
Honestly not sure why folks think consoles or mobiles compete with desktops at anything, other than being mobile or in the case of consoles, somewhat idiot proof.
I'll bet you say that when you wanna play GTA and it aint available on the phone.
Let's face it: PC is just more powerful and more adapted to gaming. Smartphones don't even begin to compete with a computer.
You can't have everything in one package

Mobile is great, its actually go to for a game like this... too bad its about 10x slower than on a computer and count in the usual lag that just hits so often for a few seconds and you got yourself an ineffective PvP gameplay.
Those seconds on flash grenade just pass super fast, same with stat boosters...
Basicaly the attacking, warring and general target finding/switching and buffing in fights is at great disadvantage ob mobile.
