Performance fine, but experiencing intense battery drain and especially heat. Significantly more than other apps (video rendering, Pokémon Go, variety of mobile games).

How is the app performing for you?:
Perfect, no issues at all on this inexpensive tablet. Price of the tablet was £150. I purely bought this tablet to play runescape on my commute into central London everyday while I go to work. I have not experienced any lag at all while doing skills. Slayer or bosses, only time I have experienced stutter is at peak time on the most populated worlds but that happens even with the most powerful computers, majority of Lagg experienced is network lag. Of course I am not used to mobile yet but I have noticed doing specific bosses you will not be as effective as you would be if you were on the computer.

Zulrah: difficult to maintain switches on mobile alongside prayer switches. I have only managed to kill zulrah 5 times with several deaths on mobile purely due to being unable to be used to how the interfaces work on mobile. It's not impossible for sure but if you were to sit there and get used to the interface. Zulrah could be easily farmed on mobile.

Wilderness bosses: simple and easy to do. If you run a cross any pokers, it is very difficult to escape while on mobile and is pretty much a death if you run across pkers.

Godwars: no problems doing any bosses. only issue you will have on mobile is being the tank.

Barrows: perfect for mobile and I highly recommend anyone to do barrow to get themselves used to the interfaces for future bossing, helps you get used to switching items and interfaces effectively.

Pking: P2p pking, don't even bother. F2p was easy and maintainable and I even went on a kill streak. Only reason f2p was found to be easier is due to less switches and constant eating required in P2p player killing sometimes due to rng. More click intensity of P2p pking makes it harder to play compared to f2p

Works great with 1 exception. 9 out of 10 times I log in using my s pen within the first minute the game stops recognizing my taps. Then my phone force closes the app saying it's not responding. I reboot app with my s pen inserted and it works fine.

Running smoothly other than when I change between YouTube and the app. The game will flip upside down and right side up fast. Also I find it hard to close or open the chat tabs and tap the fn button. Anarchy! /)*(\ OMNOMNOM

OS version: 6.0.1

How it performs:
Brilliant! The app runs well. My only comment is about Bluetooth audio: my Bluetooth speaker runs audio from my phone just fine, but audio from the app comes in filled with holes and blips, all background, sound effects, and music. If I leave the app with music running on AUTO and then return to the app, the music does not resume and I need to manually select a track.
Just an issue I thought interesting. Can't blast "Sea Shanty 2" on my speaker? Oh noooo...

Cheers!

How is the app performing for you?:

Overall, the app performs well. I have several concerns.

EDIT: #1 APPEARS TO BE FIXED! RESPONSE IS FANTASTIC AND ON PAR WITH PC!
1: Any activity to do with a change in the inventory causes a small freeze/micro-stutter for the entire game. This means even doing something like fletching longbows cause the game to freeze when each bow is fletched. It also causes the game to freeze for quite a long time when opening the bank or pulling out a full inventory of something. This happens whether on 4g data or wifi.

EDIT: #2 APPEARS TO BE FIXED!
2: When beginning to fletch/glassblow/etc. an inventory of resources, the chatbox scrolls up about 4 lines (shows older messages) for no apparent reason. This makes it difficult to see what is being said around you.

3: The game disconnects temporarily when switching from 4g data to wifi and will return to login screen when switching from wifi to 4g data (keeping your account session logged in for several minutes).

It's pretty much flawless except:
When banking, withdrawing/depositing makes the game freeze for a few frames, it's noticeable. Could be something like 80-150ms.

The same thing also happens when training herblore. Let it be making unfinished potions or adding a secondary, the game will freeze for very few frames between each action. You can see everything else around stuttering. Players, npcs, etc., they seem like the get frozen and unfrozen really quickly.

When teleporting, even if it's in the same region and the map is already loaded (e.g. from the teleporting from the Varrock fountain to the Grand Exchange), the game stutters a lot. It may freeze for 5-7 seconds. Even more time if it's to another section of the game where the map is not loaded.

Overall, the app works great. Two things, though could stand to be improved in my opinion.
The first is classified as a bug I suppose. Sometimes the touch input becomes about a half inch off towards the top of the screen. I think this happens sometimes when picture in picture is enabled, and maybe when switching into the app from a different app.

Secondly, the note 8 is a phone with a taller aspect ratio, and it would be nice to have more utilization of the added room. Currently, the screen is filled, but both sides of the phone are non responsive. It would be nice if the HUD buttons were pushed out to the edge of the display.

Thanks!

Was running perfectly fine until the tap-in login update. Now it runs very laggy even though i have a 30mbps internet WiFi and my ram is rougly 4GB (3.6) on the device. Hopefully everything gets resolved!
