I made a seperate post before seeing this one, copy pasta here we go:

This will be the first of my feedback posts,

I am testing on phone: Samsung Galaxy S4

There was some initial confusion for me when it came to installing the app, I had eventually figured out the issue was that my google play account is not linked to the same account that was granted access to the mobile beta by jagex (once I had linked the proper email, I was good to go and the download was available)

Upon completing the download, I was initially quite excited to find that the app itself does infact run on such an old phone. I heard some players with samsung galaxy s3 are not able to get it going, perhaps im at the bottom of the pyramid when it comes to phones which can run the app.

This became more evident when I started to play the game. The biggest issue when running the app currently on an old phone is FPS. I will be restricting myself to "safe/afkable" content (no bossing, questing for example) as I feel these would not be worth doing in the conditions the app is running. EDIT: (I turned on ::displayfps out of curiosity, while not doing much ingame it seems to sit around 15-20fps)

My only feedback in regards to the UI is a slight suggestion: remove the ability of us to click in the tiny area inbetween the chat box option (public/prive/trade/etc). No one wants to click inbetween those tiny buttons to walk there but i always miss click and move my character when trying to open/close the chat box.

Thank you Jagex for this opportunity, if the mods would like more specific info regarding how the app runs on this phone I am happy to provide any info, just ask away, I will add more feedback as I spend more time on the app.

Loving the Beta so far, runs very smoothly on my Samsung Galaxy S8+, really good job with the optimisation on that front!
Firstly, and I have seen some others mention the same issue, the XP bar is in the wrong position when the client is first loaded, when you hide and show the bar it does go back into the right place. From this: To this:

Secondly, I have some thoughts with the User Interface, again I have seen people talk about this on Reddit for several months so I am sure you are working on it. At first I wasn't sure about having the Inventory icons slightly away from the edge of the screen, but now I realise that it's essential so your thumbs naturally rest over them. However, they are still quite small, this does in fact apply to many of the interfaces. In order for it to properly work on mobile, I think the current interfaces will need to be scaled up. Both the Quest and Music lists are nearly impossible to use, if they are going to be used they will probably need scaling in some way to allow more precise clicking.
Also, I am not sure if this is possible for you, but hiding options that cannot be used in the settings would be good, it's currently quite difficult at first to figure out what you can and cant change. I think it would work much better if you only actually saw things that you can change.
As others have mentioned, it would be nice to drag interfaces to scroll, I am sure you are probably looking into it.
Another feature that I am sure you would love to do but is probably difficult to implement is customisation of the interfaces. Being able to choose exactly the location, size of the interface and what parts are visible would be really good.

Finally, I'm not sure if this is just me and I haven't had a chance to test it in sunny weather, but the app doesn't seem very bright.

Overall, I love it, runs super smooth and quite intuitive, good job guys! :D

This feedback is based off of playing on a Google Nexus 7 (2013)
I understand this is on a fairly dated device, and it runs to an acceptable standard. Inputs are lagged based on the games' running frame rate and some areas are incredibly intensive of resources such as inside the Troll Stronghold.

I really think a low detail mode would be very useful for performance benefits and slight battery saving benefits too.

Overall, I am very happy with how well it runs on a 5 year old device.

I have a Samsung Galaxy tab A (it sucks btw, 12 FPS), and when banking, my inventory covers most of the scroll bar on the bank window.

Another thing i want is to be able to zoom out just a tiny bit more, not much. It would help with smithing at varrock anvil so i wouldnt have to move my screen.

I feel like this will help on any phone. Is it possible to make bank scrolling easier? On the PC you can just use a scroll wheel, where on mobile you have to slide the bar, or touch the scroll. It would be nice to be able to just touch and scroll anywhere on the bank, to be able to scroll at an adjustable speed

Hi thank you for letting me participate in the mobile testing. Currently my only issue is trying to see my current xp on a skill. Holding on a skill will show the xp for a split second and then show the skill guide button on top. Also dragging for example the friends list is more intuitive to drag upwards for the list to go down rather than using the scroll on the side.

Device: Samsung S9+

So far overall performance & experience is really good, UI could use a few tweaks.

Suggestions:
1. Make quest list, clan window, bank etc. scrollable inside whole window with a gesture instead of that hard to hit scrollbar.
2. Make world map zoomable by gestures instead of pressing + and -.
3. Allow left and right interfaces to be open simultaneously.
4. Add log out warning via notification (while app is running in background).

Bugs:
1. in advanced settings, attempting to toggle data orbs, error sound is played multiple times (up to 4 times or so, causing it to be really distorted) although error message is displayed in chat only once. Also hide private chat button doesn't play error sound at all, just displays error message in chat.
2. HCIM symbol is slightly overlapped by chat divider line.
3."Loading, please wait" is cut off slightly on S9+ due to curvy display edges.
4. Upon relogging total xp bar is overlapped with XP button. Toggle fixes it.
5. Opening skill guides has weird semi transparent box around it.
6. When chat is open bank UI and some other interfaces are cut off at the bottom.
7. While traveling via boat to karamja, map animation is shown only in bottom left corner.

I'm playing the beta on a LG nexus 5x, running android 8.1. The performance is fine when i first login, around 55-60 fps it would seem. But after just few minutes it drops to somewhere between 15-25 fps. Is this because it isn't properly optimized for the device, or does the phone really not have good enough hardware to run it?

For the most part, it has been stable and very playable. I have only played for about 7 hours today, I will continue playing and giving feedback. Great job, shout out to the devs this looks very promising!!

What a time to be alive!!

KEEP IT UP.
