Suggestions are: Make bank resizeable. Allow zooming on iphones without use of settings. Make a different click to chat as the current one is easily misclickable. Make a button to reply to pms. Make chatbox easier to use..

Chatbox can be fixed by allowing you to hold your phone vertically because thats how most people are used to type. Make it easier to runecraft :) . Fletching darts is nice! I like that you can listen to songs and 3rd party sounds.

Clicking on chatbox to type = 75% of the time mis-clicking is inevitable.
Clicking on any (private, public) different types of chat will also 50% lead to a mis-click, and if you have a front screen cover (always smart), its a fail till success so 200% mis-click ha!

Along with the private/public chat resizing, everything else needs to be increased in size or clickbox. I'd much rather misclick on the inventory slot (or any slot/edge of screen button) than the floor. The thing on the bottom left corner that allows you to edit your clicks is amazing, however, I find it hard to enable aswell as disable, especially when you first login. If you had it on pre log out, you'll still have it on on ur next login, however you'll need to disable then enable it again to actually make it work.

Overall, mis-clicks are the most frustrating thing about the beta, otherwise, it's simply amazing. A suggestion to prevent misclicking is to be able to click and hold on a certain spot (inventory slot, public chat, private chat, the chat itself to be able to type) which will increase its size temporarily (preferably 3-5 seconds) and you can then either click on it or hold it to do something else (clear private history, turn private off, etc.) Thanks for reading!

The OSRS mobile game itself is pretty clean, however there were a few prominent issues that I felt kind of ruined the experience.

First off, the login screen to the game is not very mobile friendly. I (I use an IPhone 7) feel like the spaces to tap to enter your username and ******** are too small, and are a hassle to tap. Maybe make the login interface more mobile friendly?

Also, the phone keyboard covers the world switch button, so if I want to switch worlds AFTER beginning to enter my account details, I have to cancel the login to switch worlds. Maybe move the switch worlds button to the top of the screen instead?

Along with these things, the buttons and interfaces feel too small for the game itself. Would it be possible to make the buttons larger, or to add adjustable button sizes?

The interface buttons located on the left and right hand sides of the screen, as well as the chat buttons, all have space in between them and the sides of the phone. This makes it irritating to try and tap a button only to tap the ground and have to correct yourself. Could this unnecessary space be removed?

Lastly, in order to scroll up or down in an interface (such as the bank interface), one must tap and drag the scroll bar. This is irritating because the scroll bar is small and difficult to tap. Maybe enlarge the scroll bar, or give the ability to tap and drag anywhere on the interface to scroll?

(Also there was a minor graphical glitch with the fairy ring interface where some of it would be glitched out)

Overall, though, the OSRS beta is looking very good.

I like where its going. Its pretty small on my iphone 6s but thats to be expected. I play great on my ipad I think I will be doing most of my playing on there. I have noticed a few freezes when I use the mini map on the old iOS . I will report if it continues on new iOS. This is both on the phone and ipad but Im not sure if it is still a problem. Many of the problems I have other than that are just size issues which cant really be solved on a small iphone 6s' screen. Combat works well and I have had no problems skilling.

Hello, this is what I've found more regarding my last post.

Iphone 7 ios

I've 3 minor things,

1st of all on the scroll bars when you scroll past the very top or bottom the bar will duplicate into 2 over lapping eachother.

2nd when logging in if you hop worlds or minimize the keyboard the keyboard will go away and there is no way to bring it back up meaning you have to restart the app to use the keyboard.

3rd the chat box in-game gets in the way a lot of the time and can get really annoying on fixed mode since it takes up 1/4 of the screen I can get really annoying when you're trying to click something and the chat box opens up. Solution minimizing chat box?


That's about all I've found after the last post thanks for the invitation,

Sincerely, Gucci Uzi

First of I want to thank you for letting me be apart of the beta it really was an honor. I have been in love with this game for 13 years. The mobile was amazing overall but there were a few little things I did find annoying. First of all when you are trying to bank the left side of the menus were able to open and they would block the items in your bank. Second I thing it would be easier to do the shift drop option in the settings menu like it is in the PC version. it was also very easy to hit the deposit all of your armor in the bank due to it being so small and close to everything. The last thing is on the log in when trying to select a world. I would tap lets say world 309 for instance. After I taped it nothing would happen and I would tap on the screen again. After I tapped on the screen again anywhere it would send me to world 309 the first world I clicked on. Other than those things I saw nothing wrong with the game. I am very honored to have been selected for this beta. I hope I can be apart of more things in the future.

Thanks,

Hello,

It would be nice if you can change the content scroll to swipe using your finger. An example is when you're banking, it would be much more convenient to scroll your bank through using your finger like most of the apps developed. Another example is the chatbox. I'm also having the same difficulty scrolling through the scroll bar instead of simply swiping using my finger. Holding and dragging the scroll bar seems harder (at least for me) because the scroll bar is too narrow in my opinion. I'm pretty sure that this suggestion is reasonable because if not all, most smartphone apps are made this way for user-friendliness.

I hope you consider this feedback and thanks for developing an awesome mobile version of OSRS!

Some pretty bad overheating recently on an Iphone X.

Random crashes when switching between apps, but not when staying on app.

Still praying for Mobile PORTRAIT MODE!

Apart from the audio issues and the keyboard size when on iPhone 8(probably a device issue not app) the only big problems i've found is lots of lag in populated areas and when you do several inputs at once(1 tick flicking, multiple switches, etc.); Loving mobile so far and as far as interfaces go the tab icons are maybe just a little too small on resizable and I think a great implementation to chat dialogues would be a tap/hold feature that works the way spacebar does on PC. Bank stand skills, smithing, fishing, woodcut, some higher level pvm all very possible and fun on mobile looking forward to the full release :*)

iPhone 8 battery lasted for 2 1/2 hrs from 95%. No noticeable difference on/off wifi and I did use spotify in the background(again audio issues in game though).

It does run quite hot as well

Overall I just want to say I am very happy with how it is coming so far. Runs very smooth for me.

There's a couple items id like to say for feedback just in case they haven't already been said but I'm sure they have been.

- would like a portrait option
-easier and faster log-in (maybe something like a bank pin to log in)
-game options saved when reopening to play game again after being closed
-example is rooftops removed, always have to click it again after opening client

So far those are the main things I have seen that effect me playing the rs mobile client. Even if those did not get changed I would still play the client and be happy.
