The chat interface on mobile is awful (iOS). Please implement the following:
-
Readable top to bottom. Put the text input at the bottom, and have the messages oldest at the top, to enable reading in a conventional manner (e.g., top to bottom). This makes it consistent with other mobile games, and pretty much every chat app ever, as well as conventional English (and most other languages).
-
Auto-correct. Doesn’t work on iOS, although it pretends to (makes suggestions, but replacements not made).
I think of the above two as basic, and critical to a usable chat interface.
- Additional keyboards. Sure, this is a cross-platform game. Got it. But all modern systems support UTF-8, and most have a passable emoji implementation. This is a “nice-to-have”, but is something of a typical expectation that is violated, and makes the game feel cheap.
