Blizzard doesnt care about the mobile client. Its a multi-million dollar company but I´ve seen games created by a single person with a more stable and user friendly app. The chat is just the start.
Client having to restart itself if I just switch to another app for just a second. No other app does this.
Random slow-downs that sometimes freezes the entire game for like 30 seconds. No other app does this.
When you quit the game, or rather just minimize it because there´s no quit function, the entire phone goes to a crawl. Just opening up menus and browsing the web is almost impossible because the phone is so slow. If I force stop Hearthstone from the settings the problem goes away immediately. So I always have to force stop the game every time I dont wanna play anymore. Incredibly annoying.
Starting the game takes foreeeeever. Why? Its not a demanding game.
If you lose connection for just a split second, your client crashes. So many other games just keeps you in-game while you reconnect to the internet and resume gameplay.
I cant tell you how many games I´ve lost because I had bad connection for a split second and the game had to crash. As always, I have to go to my settings and force stop the app and then restart it. And because starting the game up takes an eternity you always end up losing one or multiple rounds, which in in hearthstone means the game is over.
The app is, frankly put, pure garbage.
Edit: For reference, I´m on a 2019 Snapdragon 865 flagship phone.

Agree with all of those, I play on my phone aswell and also one thing that I find unfair is that meanwhile on pc you can play all your turn and animations will finish even after you pass turn, on mobile there is a lot of cases where you need to wait for the animation to finish to make another move.
i don‘t understand blizzard... some people on mobile would be happy to play without these problems. my phone can handle a disconnect in nearly any case. most of the time - yes it happens sometimes - i can finish my turn. i don‘t have the time to think what to do on my turn. but it‘s possible for me. i‘m playing on iphone 7, 128gb, WIFI-connection.
it‘s sad... maybe i would spend some money on expansions or packs. but it’s not possible to be competitive on mobile as long as these problems aren‘t solved.
i‘m not in IT, but fixing chat is a must-do for me.

Yeah trying to anything on mobile that involves tabbing out, like trying to do tournaments for example, is basically impossible.
Been playing Legends of Runeterra for a few days now and while not going in to how good that game feels compared to HS in other aspects, the app itself works great. Can tab out for a long while no problem, app still runs just fine. Losing connection for a second? No problem, you wont even notice it.
I dont understand, HS has been out for 6 years and counting beta even longer. Why is this working so good in a similar game released a few days ago but Blizzard cant fix it for so many years. I dont get it.
I totally agree. Playing on mobile is so much worse than on PC. Also effects like opp overload is hard to spot, to be honest I still don't know how to do this. Btw. recently after android update I cannot even start my game on mobile. It asks for restart. Does somebody know how to fix this?
I play only on mobile and have hit legend last 2 months doing so but by God it is frustrating at times.
Playing final boss and someone rings you and you hit accept by accident to quickly switch back to game.... Blizzard logo appears !!!
This only happens during game and can switch freely during menus so seems intentional.
Most annoying thing is the mana bar showing your crystals then switches to opponents crystals when it's their turn in the side bar with no differentiation and you then often miscalculate your next turn because of this. Make the crystals a different colour when it's opponents!
Does anyone know why bliz cannot fix the chat on mobile device?
Open a chat with a friend - very big window on screen - no chance to read texts or type in - game needs a restart.
Couldn‘t find anything on bliz homepage...
anyone?

A lot of other apps do this. Mostly games, sometimes web navigators or facebook.

today mobile playing is not possible any more: disconnects, lots of restarts...
within a match the restart crashes the app. restart isn‘t possible and match is lost...
thanks a lot blizzard... give some support for mobile players if you want my money!
They still haven’t fixed the mana glitch on mobile devices...
its been two months.
small indy company...
