JSA this is a long one but let me know if you get lost.

There are two ways to get to the view players screen. Either by expanding, so you can see your orders, and it appears on the bottom (similar to the non-mobile one) and also from Menu under the heading Players is View Players.

Once you get there click on the player you wish to check orders for and it is under the heading Actions (nearby Send Personal Message and Report) and their orders will appear.

While I am here, this is one of the most used tools in WarLight and it is quite well hidden. Another thing that I find inconvenient is the fact that you have to go to the menu and scroll down to exit the game to the My Games page. This might just be my laziness or nagging but I think it would be sensible to have it more accessible would it not?

Also, I know it has been stated above but I am hoping that at some point we will be able to access the forums, points, and ladder pages on the mobile app.

Overall though, I love the new app and recommend it to everyone.

I think the app is great and I'm excited to start playing on my phone. Here are a few things I noticed so far:

Profiles don't contain the player's boot rate. It's a pretty important factor in deciding to join a game for me. (That or I just can't find them)

When one plays a blockade card, a button covering the entire screen appears that says "Pick Territory to Blockade." Gui mentioned the necessity of fewer clicks and I feel that this is an example of an unnecessary click.

The History window is a bit clunky. I don't speak for everyone, but I play a lot of strategic multiday games which require me to review my games each turn. On the computer, I normally start form the beginning and hold down the right arrow key, quickly cycling through each move. Maybe the ability to hold down the ">" key could be added. Also, when viewing the last turn, pressing the ">>" key exits the history. I fell that it shouldn't do this.

The in-game menu could be better structured. For instance, the "refresh" and "exit game" buttons are two of the most important functions, yet they are at the bottom. However, "refresh" is used primarily in realtime games and "exit game" in multidays. Perhaps the menu order could be changed based on the type of game, or customized by the user in the settings.

Overall, the app is fantastic and I can tell that Fizzer has put a lot of work into it. Thanks for making Warlight such a great game!

Oops, I forgot one thing. When editing orders, it's very difficult to move an order from later to earlier.

Z-Dog pretty much said everything I forgot to add.
Especially the profiles with boot rate and overall game statistics.

Also I do not remember seeing having the ability to blacklist or add to invite list.

Fizzer, I guess the real question is should the app be supportive to browser play or is it (will it) get to the point where it holds up independently?

App settings: there is quality of 2.0x, 1.0x and 0.5x. i use 0.5x and dont think there would be too much of a problem with 0.25x. if maps load in 1 sec instead of 5 sec and orders are sent immediately even when my wireless connection shows only 1-2 bars of connectivity (instead of lagging a bit and asking me to try again), it would probably be my preferred quality option. maybe grainy 0.25x maps might look better instead of worse.

Thanks for the anser Ree, and it answers one of my questions, the other one I have is how to see what my teammates picked at the start of the game on say turn 7, just so I can refresh myself on where the opponent is.

Hey, so I beat the europe challenge level (in 19 turns, grr lol) on this website, and when I looked at my account on my iphone, it hasn't shown up that I beat it (it did with the 1st three levels). Is this a bug? or does that not happen with the challenge levels?

Thanks.

JSA: Select Menu -> History to open history, then select Menu -> View Territory Picks

Fly_Molo: The level results are synced across all devices. Did you open Single-Player on your iPhone before you completed it? If so, the phone is just showing cached data. Unfortunately the only way to make it refresh right now is to restart the app. See http://wiki.warlight.net/index.php/Restart_App

On Android App, there should be icon if you have cards available, rather than having to check the menu/cards.

On Android App, its difficult to quickly see armies/turn teammates have. (And in history, its hard to see opponents each turn.

Agree with above comments about last turn exits history view and exiting games.

I mentioned the order issue in beta zdog. It is VERY hard to re order your move on app. Basically impossible. You need up and down arrows

A few things (for the android app; I play on a Galaxy s3):

Definitely agree on the fewer clicks thing. The app is still notoriously cumbersome to navigate.

Seconding the need for an easier method to exit game (back button!) as well as easier history and teammate orders access.

I'm definitely missing the ability to show both the chat and the map at once (top/bottom split), as it is terribly difficult in team games to discuss strategy right now.

I'd recommend getting the territory links for in the chat to work on the app. They are so beneficial and I miss being able to use them.

Inspect map option can (should!) be integrated in the normal map view so that it's easier to find a particular territory or bonus.

Switching between deploy and attack phases should be made easier. Now, if I want to go back a step I have to go through the menu and that is annoying.

If I think of more I'll post it ;)

All these different buyable things will turn away players by creating large choice and exspences. Having a standard membership and maybe a pay to remove ads (monthly option for ad removal?) Would attract more people to play and buy membership. After all too many options makes it look like certain memberships give unfair advantages.

I play the iOS app on iPad and frequently get conflicted with the same bugs:

1. You cant see teammates orders. The button just throws u back to lobby.

2. You cant see the turn summary (Show all moves) what makes it really unhandy to play large map in real-time. Its just no good alternative to decide between "skip" and look into history or "watch turn" (what sometimes just takes ages).

3. You cant move orders properly -leaves u sometimes with the decision of re-doing all orders or just leaving an important attack among last orders.

There are some more minor things -as others already mentioned- but those are not as decisive. When these 3 points are fixed the app allows you to play as good as at the PC (maybe slower but at least with comparable options).

@Dash:
Same issue with viewing teammates orders on my Android phone, but only when I hold it vertical. If horizontal, it shows me.

You can see teammates orders. You have to go to "view players" first, click on the player, then "view teammate's orders"

It is a bit clunkly to get there, but you can do it.
