I find this unfortunate as frankly I prefer this version. As has already been mentioned, the app is god awful. I only use the web browser when I'm dealing with attacks as I can more quickly view them and post using ingame time. Any kind of building, recruiting of units, etc. I always used this one as it has always been quicker and easier for my phone which has a tendency to lag/take longer when doing those things on the web browser version.
Not only this, but every since one of the more recent updates, 8 times out of 10 I can't get onto the web browser version and am redirected to a page suggesting that I use the app (which is annoying in and of itself, being that a. I have the app and b. It's an utter waste of time). If I go in through the mobile web version and log in, I can then actually get on the web browser version and it will continue doing so for about half the day, assuming I don't entirely close out of Chrome, widget and all, or turn my phone off. Doing either refers me back to step one.
Apologies for any repetition/wordiness (wanted to be clear in distinguishing which version I was referring to)
