Nowadays, as more and more people surf internet with their mobile phones, it becomes urgent to have our websites mobile-ready or mobile-friendly. But the job seems to be a little too challenging for non-professional web admins like me.  

Recently, my friends recommended two WordPress mobile Plugin/Theme packages to me, namely WPtap and WPtouch. I found both plugins amazingly easy to use and really turned my WordPress site into a mobile application experience when viewed from iPhone and Android phones. After using both of them, I summed up some similarities and differences between WPtap and WPtouch. 

Similarities:

- Both are easy to install and easy to manage through back-end admin panel

- Both packs come complete with all the standard WordPress website features: search, login, categories, tags, archives, photos, thumbnails & more.

- Both packs includes a social features such as bookmarks, and email

- Both support easy ads insertion- Both look amazing on iPhone and Androids 

Differences:

- WPtouch only offers one theme, while WPtap has three theme packages available: Video Tube, News Gallery and News Press, designed for video sites, graphic-style, or text-centric sites, respectively. According to the website, more themes are coming out each month on WPtap

- WPtap themes come with 6 colors, WPtouch only has black.

- WPtap’s News Gallery theme can show a slideshow of posts on homepage, while WPtouch does not have this feature

- WPtouch theme is free. While only WPtap News Press theme is free, the others are paid themes

- WPtap offers customization service to customers, while WPtouch does not

- WPtap also offers to develop iPhone-based web apps for your site Personally, I prefer WPtap, since it gives me more choices. Their themes are great-looking and diversified. I’ve purchased News Gallery and Video Tube for my two blogs, they all work great. And I find their customer support is great, too.
