EDIT: This is from an iOS mobile user. I cannot speak for Android.

So, I must say that I am in love with the mobile client. I have played on it quite extensively using an iPad Pro 12.9 inch. I use it for farm runs (herbs, player owned farms, and trees), slayer mobs (mainly soul devourers), gathering incandescent energy, archaeology, and big game hunter tier 1 Dinos. I also complete clue scrolls and have done quests. I think the interface is relatively user friendly.

Here is where I have had a few problems.

1) The target interface when ability bars are opened is in the way. It takes a large block of screen space that is difficult to work around in situations where time is of the essence. Mistapping is easy to do here. Furthermore, not all situations involving the ability bars have an active target. I have a bar set up for big game hunter for surge, escape, bladed dive, and freedom. While these are combat abilities, they are being utilized in non-combat situations. Suggestion: Move the target bar that displays health into one of the corners OR allow it to be minimized while keeping ability bars open. I have not tried anything involving combat on my phone screen at this time and worry that a smaller screen size would cause much more user error when working around the target menu.

2) Chatting via PM can be a huge headache. I'll click tab to reply to a friend, type a message, and click enter. The problem happens when it changes back from the PM option to public chat making my private message public. It is very inconvenient to have to check to make sure I am still replying to a private chat window.

These are two quality of life items that I feel could improve not only my experience but others as well.

So far, I'm loving the mobile experience. Great job Jagex. StarScape V1 - Check us out!

glad to hear your iOS is a good experience, only wish I. would say the same. it's ok to do standing still stuff but I can't move, Tele or other stuff without constant logging out. I know what I want to do, but can rarely achieve it
