App is ok. Browser is better

After the most recent patch implemented for the app, debris fields are no longer clickable in app. You can see that they are there but cannot see how much or quickly send ships to them. The trader tab in app has also been broken for a long time. You cannot access the scrapyard for any planet but the Homeworld, cannot access the auctioneer at all or get any of the universe rewards outside of web browser. I play primarily on app so having to log on via my phone browser is difficult and time consuming. Please fix this as I know it’s a great game that I’ve been playing since 2002. I was hoping that there would be a points barrier between the truly massive players that are 300 million points ahead of myself but once you get past that newbie cap, those Goliath's can very easily bully you just because they can.

Make no mistake, it’s free to play but pay to win. Even the rank one in my universe gets banned for bullying or bashing but only for a day or 2 after several instances of rule breaking. My universe is almost barren because the rank one throws thousands of dollars into the game then bully’s other players into quitting or V mode. I understand the game very well now but if one player can break a server….why am I playing?

It’s okay if you also play the browser version.

The game is good, however the app makes it a struggle to play smoothly. Latest patch notes said they fixed the dispatch fleet button,
However on multiple occasions did say 80% of the time when I click *dispatch fleet* game tells me I have no ships on this planet, When in fact I do. Makes playing anything late game a struggle due to not being able to reliably fleet save.
Building ships or defenses, works fine but the “max” is never right. It only looks at whatever resource you have the most of. (I.E Light Laser takes 1500 metal 500 Crystal. If I have 1500 metal and 5000 Crystal it will say I can build 10 Light Lasers which is not true I can only build one.

No trader functions, chat, or rewards like on the browser. They did say they are working on it so I won’t knock them on that. But it does mean the app is best played along side the browsers version and not as a stand alone alternative.

Hi! Thank you for your valuable feedback. We will forward this to our developers so they can check where the problem can be.

Good port of a browser game

Overall, the game runs just fine on the application. The UI is pretty easy to figure out if you’re familiar with the browser version. Some things aren’t as clear cut though, which is part of the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. For example, it took me a while to figure out how to use a jump gate on my moon via mobile. I also wish that the resource market functions were all working. It’d be nice to do auctions on mobile. The last big gripe I have is that it can take a while for the game to refresh itself when you send ships from planet to planet to and from a moon. I usually have to close my app and reopen it for the game to stop telling me that I have no ships on a planet when I know that I do because I just sent them there. Otherwise the ability to play this game on mobile is unparalleled for flexibility. I actually prefer playing mobile than browser, they just need to fix a few more problems before it’ll get the full 5/5.
