There should be an option to resize the chat text, as it is too small for most people. It would be nice to have the 'minimize' button replace the red notification button in the top left corner immediately after you pop open the chat, as the red box disappears anyways. Its small but it saves having to go through 2 different chat sizes before it minimizes again.
I also think the backpack window could be smaller, or the items at least, to save the player from scrolling which has a knack for dropping items out of the inventory. The skills icons should be resized to accommodate for all the empty space (I do think the skill boxes are a bit too small but that might just be me).
Otherwise, I think everything else looks good. I especially like the combat system, I think it was integrated perfectly for mobile play. The textures seem zoomed in a bit fuzzy on the edges, but nothing an update can't fix. Keep up the good work Jagex
As others have mentioned, text is far too small in general. It is difficult to read the numbers displayed in my bank, etc.
Also, I play in legacy interface mode on PC and when logging in on PC after playing on mobile the client was set to the new interface. I had to change it back in my settings.
When I hold down on loot to take a specific item, it does not take it but instead, it pops the loot menu. Also, I have a 2016 android and it is lagging a lot whenever I play and telly to Prif. anyone know any tips to fix it without buying a new phone? thank you
Tried dungeoneering on mobile and had this issue with mini map in the middle of the screen. It's pretty important to have one too and I couldn't find any layout settings at all, would be perfect if it was on the left of the screen tbh or at least people could customize layouts at all

Hey peeps! Using beta on android platform, device: Samsung Galaxy Note 9
1st - Thank you for making the rs3 beta available to more players on the android platforms, and
a huge thanks for the in game announcement!
2nd - I found the layout to be easy to use and simple to understand. It would be useful
however to have some sort of mini slide show of basic interface options. took me a min to
figure out how to use clan chat, and to see all who were currently online.
- I found the chat to be somewhat of an annoyance with the smaller text, not impossible to
read but definitely an annoyance to the smaller text, would be nice to adjust it slightly.
- As we are able to adjust the windows in our normal rs3 interfaces while enjoying the game
on the computer, I found it very disappointing that I was not able to move a window or
interface out of my way (due to the smaller screen size) to a more convenient location.
Would be nice to see some attempt to try and implement this.
*****OVERALL IMPRESSIONS*****
Jagex, its about time we got Rune Scape on mobile, a personal word of thanks from a very very very long time player. Overall, darn nice job guys, darn nice job. Easy to use interface, beautifully and thoughtfully laid out controls, but far from perfect. I will be testing the combat interface within the next couple of days in the Aminishi dungeon as I'm in serious need of Dungeoneering xp and tokens, so will be taking full advantage of this. Thanks again and I look forward to being a lot more active here on the forum. Thanks Guys * Gals, sincerely, from an awesome player!
Having finally managed to use rs3 mobile, was very impressed however as a few people have said working out how to chat was an annoyance and trying to click on the chat was very difficult, im using both phone and tablet, phone chat as i said difficult too small, even on a bigger screen finding chat difficult. My tablet is an alba android and doing p0f i found my animals stretching but not on phone. Apart from that i find mobile absoloutly brilliant, good job Developers
7 Signs rode on 7 Stars, 7 Ways to find the long lost Bards.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S7 32GB, and I was logged on for about 5-10 minutes before the phone started to overheat, where it was hot to touch. I had no other apps running in the background, just RuneScape. I hope this is some sort of feedback.

I have an LG-*4 with Android 6.0, 3gb RAM, and es3.1 and Google Play says my device isn't compatible. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? Was really looking forward to playing on mobile...
I got the same problem with my xiaomi redmi 3s problem. I found a workaround.
1) You can have a friend that have a friend with compatible android phone download it from google play and share the apk to you through another apps sharing such as "ShareIt".
or
2) Download an android simulator such as "Bluestack", then download the runescape app using it. after that send the apk to your phone. Theres a tutorial on the internet on how to transfer an apk in "bluestack" to a phone. You should look it out. (hints - backup the apk and save to pc, then transfer to android phone)
I hope this help you and other who have this same problem.
This compatibility issue should be resolved by Jagex as soon as possible.
Have a great day.

So far it's quite useful to be able to do some skilling on the go and in bed. I've yet to find any major issues, but Prifddinas is definitely rough on my phone with an average of about 12fps while mining the gem rocks. It also heats up my phone quite a bit. I often do a lot of skilling there compared to other places, so having it more optimized would definitely be a plus.
As for the UI, I would love to have a slightly scaled down inventory, so I can see all 7 rows of it at once, as the icons are rather large now and only displays 20 out of the 28 slots, while taking up a massive chunk of the screen while opened. In addition to this, the button to close the currency pouch is incredibly small, requiring a surgeon's precision to actually close it again.
The combat info takes up a large portion of the screen, which to me as a skiller holds little value. It just takes up massive amounts of screen real estate, which in turn makes it harder to me to click mining rocks and divination wisps without constantly rotating the screen. Having an option for a more skiller-friendly layout that moves the combat info into a small box in the top left would be preferred, with the chat then moving to the bottom left.
When it comes to Treasure Hunter, due to the curved edges of my phone it's sometimes hard to get the phone to register it when I press the X to close it down, perhaps making the button bigger or moving it slightly lower will help alleviate this.
I would really like a dead zone at the top of the screen, or another solution so that I can check my battery life and the current time without my character deciding to go on an adventure to the topmost part of the screen. Right now if I try to do that, it briefly shows the bar at the top, before the game registers it as a click and moving my character to that location, while making the bar disappear again. Often it disappears before I could read it.
