There are two people in my household (including myself) who would probably use Tapatalk (or Forum Runner) if it was available. I don't have any real technical insight in terms of which is better -- Forum Runner or Tapatalk but I suspect that Tapatalk is more ubiquitous.
Besides the ads, it sounds like the major advantage to the paid (server side) editions is around Google Analytics and customization, including the client side app. Do I really require a customized app which only connects to the HUBB (at a fairly high price to you guys/HU)? Nope. I would happily pay a couple of bucks for the Tapatalk or Forum Runner app (actually already purchased the Tapatalk a while back hoping that I could use it for the HUBB).
As long as either app doesn't negatively effect "things" -- create security holes, create site instability, use a lot of resources or add significant admin overhead (i.e. Grant's time), I think a mobile app would a great addition. For those who are not interested, they don't have to use it.

I would like to say thank you for all of the work you have put in here. The new site looks great. Being a sysadmin, I know what it is like being "behind the scenes" and rarely receiving acknowledgement for making things work...well!.
