I play via my iPhone a significant portion of the time I play. The new app increases the ability of some functions and actually loses functionality from the old tool box in other ways.
Proposal
1.) It is now feasible to collect from your farms with captain, however it is very time consuming since I have 100+ cities. When I hit the back button after collecting, it would be very helpful if it returned to the place in the list I left off. Continuous scrolling after the first couple is quite annoying. Another option would be to allow scrolling to next island without going back to full list. Additionally it would be helpful to be able to sort the islands by available farms.
2.) Can we get BB codes enabled? When I get a message or read the forum a number in app is totally useless information. In the old app BB usually worked for cities and were linked, just not for reports. No BB codes work in messages yet. Forums have been improved and now allow BB codes to link for cities and players. Can app uses also be able to submit BB codes? When will reports be added; this is a crucial part of the game; being able to read and send battle reports.
3.) Can the attack launch page show target city. I'm not sure how I switched cities on prior attempt but the travel time was 3x too long.
4.) When reading in the alliance forum there needs to be an exit button. If I read a topic and am several pages deep, I must hit the back button 8 times (various depending on how many pages the topic has) to return to the main menu or city.
5.) Collecting quest awards is very annoying when your inventory is full. In browser version you can select any item on the list to claim them. But in the app you must be on the active island where the quest originated to select it and then you can't scroll through your cities to claim it. This means you must manually select your city and then find the island in question via the map (which if you have expanded beyond immediate islands it is very clumsy).
6.) Delivering resources between cities has the same problems. In the prior mobile toolbox you could select delivery of resources and then select the city to deliver from. Now you have to find the city on the map to deliver resources. In the browser version I usually use city links from farming or resource overview using premium features.
7.) Daily reward doesn't always appear. It is visible for a few days and then gone for days; which requires going to browser version to collect it if I remember.
8.) Beginner quests only randomly appear in the app; many of the later ones didn't appear at all. Maybe its the same problem as the randomly disappearing daily rewards - I'm finished with beginner quests now but others obviously aren't.
9.) App users need to be able to reserve cities and view other players reservations when they are preparing to attack a city.
Items that appear to have been implemented/fixed:
A.) I like that I can use the captain. However, in the old app I could conquer farming villages. Was this an oversight with new version. Can we get this feature back? Also, it would be helpful if we could do farming upgrades and trading with farms?
Comment: I was able to find these capabilities via the island map. However, it would be very helpful if they were also available from the farming overview. Should be a simple programing feature to link this feature since it is already designed.
B.) Attack overview is another great feature but doesn't seem to be complete. When I try and select an attack to verify timing or cast a spell it crashes every time. Also, will viewing a conquest status and troop movement be included?
Comment: This bug has been fixed. Troop movement is also now available.
C.) When I launch an attack or support and use a transport with bunks it doesn't show me the correct troop capacity. (Bug seems to be reported). The harbor/barrack orders also don't show the correct resources if there is an upgrade to decrease the resource cost.
Comment: This bug has been fixed.
D.) Can the time zone in the app match the time zone in the game settings, rather than your local time on your phone?
Comment: This bug has been fixed.
Reason
This increases the ability for players to use their iPhone/iPad or other smart device where the app is available.
Details
To include more of the game functionality onto the app that is available via the web on a computer.
Balance/Abuse Prevention
Provide more balance.
