Much of the feedback on this forum is about the android version. Is there no forum dedicated to the iOS Beta?

Personally, I'd like to know if anyone else is having the problems I'm having. The beta is still non-functional for me. I log in, but when I try to "play now," it loads for about one second, & then crashes while logging me out. This happens repeatedly & invariably.

It does the same for me. Yesterday I managed to check the five tree patches in about 11 log outs. Tonight I’ve teleported to Lumbridge and haven’t even made the bank at CA in 15 attempts.
I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not

On my IPAD Air I have adjusted the setting to everything off or minimal and this allows me to at least do something in 1 place. As soon as I walk or run, the app crashes. On I iPhone 6S I can play, but after a few minutes the phone gets really hot.

I just managed to get the beta on 4th wave, I am also having issues with staying logged in. I appreciate it’s a beta but I would have expected it to at least show my character.
I check iPod stats and it is within the expected criteria as stated, should I wait for a short while then try again?
I know what I want to do, but can rarely achieve it

Also is there a dedicated world for this beta or can you choose?

I have an iPad Air running iOS 12.4.7.
All the info says s iOS 10 or greater, so theoretically it should be fine.
Earlier today I managed a whole 30 seconds before I was logged off :)

I have a few comments on the app, for possible improvements. I have been using an iPhone 6 on iOS 12.4.6. I have been using battery saver mode after doing the auto-setup for the phone, and have reduced graphics levels, details, shadows etc.I do want to say that it seems like a great app, however I am not sure iPhone 6 is good enough to support it. Anything I say is not a criticism but hopefully constructive feedback!

1. My Authenticator app is on the same phone as what I played runescape on. This makes it very awkward to authenticate, especially when I need it to access my bank. Whenever I open the Authenticator app it logs me out and crashes, so it can be fun to try and have both working at the same time. Something to be able to detect the Authenticator on the same phone and automatically link the two would be really useful.

2. The app crashes and logs me out whenever I pop to another window - e.g if I need to check a text, or the Authenticator. I’m not sure if this is a design feature, a bug or simply my phone not being able to cope with it?

3. When I use the app for longer than about 10 minutes, my phone heats up excessively. I am assuming it’s just using the whole of my phones power, which is why I’m thinking it may not be best for iPhones 6.

4. The app crashes whenever I do anything major. Essentially I can do things like divination on a quiet world, where it is very afk and the graphics don’t really have much detail. Teleporting crashes it, and doesn’t let me log in afterwards. I also was hoping that smithing at the artisan workshop would work but sadly it crashes with that too. However I’ve been using it for farming divination energy which is pretty useful for a background task.

Sadly I haven’t been able to get any further feedback simply because I couldn’t really use the app properly due to the crashing, but from what I can use I can see that it has a lot of potential and with a more powerful phone I could imagine it being great.

iPad Air (1st generation) really doesn't have enough RAM to run mobile very well, which is probably why you're crashing (jetsam). I am running it great on iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPad Pro (3rd Generation), and tested with my old iPad Air and it's barely usable.
