Location: Finland
Wifi: Yes
Cellular: 3G
Data Provider: DNA
**: Android
OS version: 6.0.1 MMB29M

How is the app performing for you?:
5-7fps everywhere. Looks like same fps even at login screen, the flamesbare laggy. The fps never rises above 7fps, and only goes below 5fps when opening the app from background and sometimes when loading a new area.
Both on WiFi and cellular same results.

My brother has a Xiaomi mi 3 (older than Redmi 3s), which runs solid ~30fps (same internet). The mi 3 has a better GPU than Redmi 3s.

Same overheating issues as Brobeans mentioned earlier while playing at maximum frame rate. After an hour of playtime, a notification pop-up will appear before the phone automatically closes the app. Like Brobeans, I was not charging the phone each time the notification, and subsequent app closure, occurred. I have been playing using lower settings since then.

How is the app performing for you?:

It's running well, occasionally it will register the tap higher on the screen than actually tapped. For instance I was safespotting hellhounds and multiple times I ran out behind the hellhound when I 100% sure tapped on it, to attack it. It occurs at random and is hard to counter with a tap lower on the screen because of this.

How is the app performing for you?: Runs smooth, though kicks the hell out of my battery, but then again the battery is 2 years old and unfortunately not replaceable unless paying or doing it myself...
Can't wait to try out EOC on mobile.

Works great on my phone. The only issue I found was that my phone heats up and battery drains pretty fast too.

Thank you so much for your efforts on mobile; I am able to pay so much more now!

Good performance; some interface collisions and connectivity issues:

Chat box:
* Frequently brings up the keyboard because it's in the way.
* Difficult to reply to friends' PMs.
* Frequently overlaps bank & shop interfaces.
Recommendations:
* Ensure bank and shop interfaces display below chat box.
Sometimes it does, but when it doesn't it's hard to reach stuff behind the chat input bar.
* Limit chat input region to about the inch along the left margin where player names appear.
* Have reply to player be the default option when tapping to/from names in the chat box.

Connectivity:
* Both on WiFi and mobile, generally with a strong signal, I am sometimes kicked out.
I've seen no consistency or predictability yet, but it seems dangerous especially in combat.
* Disconnections probably aren't entirely avoidable in a mobile environment anyway.
Recommendations:
* Revise the login process to allow resuming a session after verifying that the original client is no longer connected, even if the character is still in combat.
Reconnecting should be as seamless as possible for the end user.
* End PvM combat (or all non-tele-blocked combat) & log out disconnected players.
Currently, combat delays automatic logout; I often wonder if some of those metal-clad mages splashing on chickens or rats around Lumbridge are even connected, or if they're exploiting the system to get offline XP.

Device Menu:
* Occasionally, clicking on the bottom on whichever side happens to be the bottom of my phone will pull up the phone system buttons overlay and minimize RuneScape.
Recommendations:
* This is probably user error that I'll learn to avoid with time.
* Moving the buttons a bit further from the edges might reduce these a bit, but this is probably a difficult issue to address.

I do still think some of my recommendations have merit, although feature this does mitigate the most problematic issues.

Great gaming performance. Noticable battery drain, about 32% drain every 30 minutes. Noticable device heat increae. I did pre-order the phone when it was first announced, probably just normal battery wear and tear. I plan on getting the Pixel 3XL when it comes out.

I'm quite impressed with the fluidity of the mobile client, performance I expected to be nothing less than perfect seeing as my device is newer-high-end. However there are many things that require tweaking, many of these annoyances were immediately noticeable.
First let's start with Right Click by holding down on an NPC or Item. The timing needs to be lowered for the action to be recognized. As of now it feels like I'm holding down on something for around 3 seconds before a menu appears, that is way too long.
Second, banking takes a moment because of this three second wait time on right click, and because the NPC's want to talk to you when you click directly on them. Instead I highly recommend replacing the direct click action to open the bank; make talking to the bankers an option in the right click menu.

Also I'm still shocked you haven't fixed the Lumbridge bank issue with our characters thinking they can talk to the banker through the wall. -.- That shouldn't be too much of a task, it's really annoying that it hasn't already been done after all these years.

I'll continue to update this post with any issues or suggestions I discover.

[UPDATE] Multitasking is absolutely impossible. Say for instance I have SwiftKit installed on my phone, which will allow me to easily plan and evaluate various aspects regarding the game. It's impossible to do that because the client isn't friendly in terms of switching applications. When you change applications and come back to the client, you're met with a black screen and a bit of lag; which requires waiting and shutting the application down before you're able to reopen it.

[UPDATE 2] Black screen returns after 10 minutes of continuous play.

Also, as I've suggested in feedback left on the PlayStore, fingerprint sign-in should be among the top priorities to vastly improve the login process.
Peace,
Lil Woody
P.S. Still bigger than yours.

Getting framestuttering every 3 seconds for 1 second. Other than that, it's working great.
