So, for those who've tried it, what are the benefits of using the app over using the device's web browser?

Hmmm I think it is faster and easier ;)

My android's browser has bad graphics, allows websites to download data to the limited space on my phone, and other things that make it a pain to use.

I also find apps to be a better experience in general because they've actually been designed from the ground up to support the hardware and operating system instead of just slapping a new stylesheet on. This usually makes them faster and easier to use. So long as the features you want from the site are a part of the app, of course.

I haven't tried out this app too extensively yet, but it has more features than the non-official ElJay app I've been using.

I use an ASUS Transformer and most apps do a crappy job with the keyboard; this one does better.
