Love the options. Did portions of quests succesfully. Banking is good. Not sure if i can trade on here. Might consider a chat option to open in a screen that can be read if possble. Like the interactive map in rectangle, can rotate view to increase travl choice. Have had a couple of lock ups. Just logged out and re-started. Love it. Thanks.

Honestly, I think bringing RuneScape to Mobile has been a HUGE success so far.
I finally got in the BETA on the 5th of March, and I've taken my time before giving back any feedback anywhere.

I can't say I have any problems with the out-of-combat content. Initially I wasn't very fond of the UI in conversations with NPC or when interacting with objects, but as time passed it started to grow on me. As far as combat is concerned, after I modified my action bars to incorporate food and prayers the experience was much smoother. I still wouldn't do any more demanding PvM content on Mobile, for safety reasons, but maybe that's just me.

I have however noticed some issues that I believe were not intentional and affect the entirety of the player base:

1. Banking
When I'm in the Bank Interface, for some reason, I can't move items in between other items. I'm sure I'm not the only one who arranges all of his items neatly. The only way I can go about doing this is by switching 1 items place with another, which is in no way the same as it is a much longer process. Why, though? On PC, If i hover an item with my mouse between two other items, I can place it there. I'm sure if I used a touch screen PC, it would still function properly, so why doesn't it on Mobile? Am I the only one with this issue?

2. Picking up items
When I try and pick up individual items (by holding down my thumb on the pile of loot and selecting the piece that I want to pick up) it just doesn't happen. Instead a small screen pops up showing me all the loot in the pile, from where I can select the pieces or just Loot All. I'm pretty sure this isn't supposed to work this way, as a pile of loot often times contains 4/5 junk items and 1 that is of interest. That's why individual looting exists on PC in the first place.

3. Textures
Some textures, like the Lodestone Network map, are a bit low res for Mobile. It's not a big issue, but when you see it you can't unsee it, and in time more and more people will see it.

I have no complains about the mobile version so far, but an idea is to make possible to use the grand exchange without entering the game, like we could do in RS companion... That was the best feature in the discontinued app and helped a lot...

Sometimes I am at work and I need to check if some items were sold to buy others in the GE, for example

I think the biggest thing that I have a problem with is the banking aspect. When I want to bank all of my items, I have to scroll down, which can present itself as quite difficult without clicking the wrong selection etc.

I will post more in the future :) but for now thats the most frustrating.

Thank you for your time.

My feedback so far:

I've been using the mobile version for a few weeks now, and I love it.. But I have some suggestions for improvements:

- When dungeoneering, the minimap is placed in the middle of the screen, it would be awesome if you could move it to the left of the screen, or make it possible for the players to move it where he decides.

- Darker places like dungeons, mining area at canifis and other places with alot of shadows and darkness it is sometimes almost impossible to see whats on the screen - even with my screen light full on, Maybe if you could enlighten these places a bit?

- The edges of the screen is normally used for switching apps, viewing notifications and the clock by sliding from the edge towards the middle of the screen. But whenever I try and slide to view the time and/or notifications, the RS mobile app registers my movement by clicking in the edge and interrupts the currently skilling and starts moving the character - Maybe you could add a "dead zone" or "ignor input" when one tries to slide from the edge?

- Editing action bars: You can edit your action bars skills, it pops up with "Power" window to edit action bars (Melee, Ranges, Magic, Defensive, Prayers). But I miss the opportunity to add items from backpack to the "Action Buttons", like filling ore box, drink potions, eat foods etc.

Anyways, thank you so much for the opportunity to play RS at the toilet, in the kitchen, in the bus, and everywhere else! :D

I'm the owner of a social clan and my biggest issue is that I just can't read the chat window. (just had an eye test and my glasses are fine!). That unfortunately means I have to tell the clan I'm playing mobile so Afk :( . I don't know if it's an issue for many people, or whether the font colour may make a difference. But it worries me as more people start using mobile the clan chat will become unused as people migrate to other servers to chat such as discord. Maybe in the future you could possibly have an in game voice chat with the mobile game.

In reference to a post above by "Farwisepony"

You can still put the ore box, potions, food and a lot of other items on your action bar. Just thought I'd mention that as I've also made a separate action bar dedicated solely to non-combat related things like the ore box or hunting traps especially for Mobile and it helps a lot!

You're completely right about the Dungeoneering minimap! I close it immediately after the floor begins just cause of how awkward it's positioned and it would be awesome if we could move it ourselves. This also applies to the "Current respect" bar in the Artisans Workshop.

I see what you mean about underground areas being unreasonably dark. You could mitigate the darkness by using a Skybox, until a better method pops up. I personally use "Dawn" and "Eclipse" more often than the default setting, although I'll admit some of the shadows are absent sometimes on Mobile. That could just be me though. Good luck! :)

I've noticed that some of the non-combat magic spells don't work adequately. In particular, crystallize can't be cast while playing on the mobile. There is no way to open a magic spellbook tab so you have to load it into an action bar, but even so I can't seem to be able to cast it.
