Hearthstone on Android Gets Smaller! Optimizations & No More Wasted Space
Finally. FINALLY! Hearthstone has been optimized on Android to make the install size smaller. Promises of improved patching in the future are also noted in the update notes. It's possible future content will come right off Blizzard's CDN as we saw in this post a few weeks ago.
- The initial download from Google Play for the update is 12 MB.
- Once you open the app, Hearthstone will download 1.1 GB.
- iOS performed better than Android, they intend to improve both platforms.
Quote from Hearthstone on Google PlayWHAT'S NEW
- We’ve made some optimizations to Android distribution! This will change how Hearthstone is downloaded and will help lead to a smaller install size and smoother patching in the future.

Yong Woo on the Release
Quote from Yong WooSuper excited about rolling out the Android download experience / file size improvement!Are there similar plans for IOS ?
iOS was already performing much better than Android. But we intend to continue to improve both platforms!
purpose of your comment ? nothing its retarded
and by tha way i have a pc, which is a bit better
Get better internet then and stop exaggerating everything.
i was speaking about the phone yet i am mostly playing on pc, get better understanding
I deleted hs from my android couple months ago and I just reinstalled it. Wow, they didn't just decreased amount of data they optimized the whole game. When I played it earlier it was really slow because I don't have such a good phone but now everything works perfectly. Good job blizzard!
Same
well, good news is good news.
Coming from someone who also plays on Ipad Air 2, i do not have issues with having to reconnect.
Strange thing is, I do have connectivity problems with my router on my phone and laptop, but the Air 2 outperforms them both on the disconnect facet.
Not off of the top of my head... My issue is that my phone wont hold 192 IP address. It will continually want to drop that for a 10.x.x.x ip. The Ipad is pretty consistent about holding an internet IP when it finally gets one (Have to disconnect and reconnect to my wireless until it does.).
They are so greedy for making more people able to play on their phones. They are only doing this so people want to buy more packs and they get more money. I bet they even held back on optimizing it even more because they are so evil and greedy.
Did I do it right?
Been playing on tablet long time and had no problems with android.
I bought S7 edge ~1 month ago and got the promotion pack.
Imagine how small it would be if you could opt for a "standard only" download and not need any wild cards or animations. Or better, if you could opt for no golden card animations, etc. I won't reinstall it. It's still too freaking big.
and wild is still fun
Personally I'm happy playing tavern brawl and arena on my PC. I don't have to play those in odd moments. But those who only have phones would very likely go for the whole enchilada, instead of standard only, true.
And I'd still play willd... just on my PC, not on the move.
wow what an upgrade, only 500MB freed this way...
This community will bitch about everything, wouldn't it?
That's 500 MB worth of extra memes you can save, dingbat.
people like you are so useless, like everything everytime
Finally. Had to use a second phone, because it didn't fit on my sony.
Use FolderMount to move it to SD.
