One more suggestion from me.

Many who are on the phone or tablet always are faced with extra long loading times and freezes when the device just cant take it, especially the large amount of pictures. I myself am on the tablet often and if I wasnt stubborn, I wouldnt even visit Lioden at that time, because just setting up my lionesses to hunt takes me more than 5 mins, let alone explore my 100 energy where battles pop up and lionesses.

However, in the past weeks the new layout was introduced to the site which was supposed to make the site more mobile friendly. But truth is.., it only made the layout less PC friendly. Everything is huge, and one needs to zoom out a lot to play comfortably on a PC to such an extent that I can barely read anything in favor of having important buttons visible. The placement of important buttons and maps is still wrong, one has to scroll a ton on both PC and tablet, no matter how much zoomed out you are.

One cannot make a site both PC and mobile friendly. One has to choose or both will feel uncomfortable.

It can be a pain. And it is.

In short:
Mobile and tablet devices just cant take Lioden's current design and constantly lag, freeze or the server times out because of the slow load. Exploring and taking care of lions is basically impossible and takes extra long even with the new layout. The new layout is also too big and the site organization is still off.

Solution:
Create a mobile-optimized version next to the current website, perhaps with the address of:
m.lioden.com
or something. Many other sites use this option and they have happy members.
Make the normal website optimized for PCs, so we can play comfortably, and make this new version compatible completely for mobiles/tablets.

What would the mobile-optimized site contain:
Basically it would be an extreme basic version of the game itself, not the entire site.
- Chatting, forum, everything on the side of the screen would be moved to a new page, away from the side of the screen to not cause additional loading times when people dont want to chat.
- Pictures should be removed from everywhere, only leaving them at your own lions.
- Your lion's stats perhaps could be displayed as % instead of bars at the top of the screen or something, to reduce picture loads.
- Buttons would be bigger. The map would be replaced with larger buttons as well, perhaps baring the corresponding picture of what they stand for,
Only these few things would reduce lag on phones and tablets greatly.

Feel free to suggest more things or change.

Thank you for reading.

I do agree but I think it should only allow the basics like feeding and interacting with your lionesses/exploring. Otherwise that might be a LOT of extra work. ^_^

So you can still get the basics done. But if you wanted to go to chatter, talk in the sidechat, or anything else you'll just have to either log on with a computer or go to the Lioden site -not the app- and do it from there.

Hmm... I guess you are right on that one.
So the features would be:
feeding, interacting with your lions and pride, exploration and trading.
If an app, then I think forum access shouldnt be granted. Or yes?
If a new site dedicated to mobile-optimized Lioden then I dont see a reason why it cant have forum access. But no chatting in either case.

LioDen seems to work fine for me on my mobile. (In fact I am posting from it now!) Though it is an android phone and the only issue I have is if I leave it on LioDen on the internet, if I come back an hour later the internet apparently has to close and restart. Therefore I need to open it again to log in. Other than that no issues playing LioDen, but I know some others do. It would be nice to maybe see something like this.

While LioDen runs smoothing on my Android, I'm supporting for those who have problems with this.

Not connection. Every other site runs smoothly on my android tablet, but it is basically outright struggling and sometimes losing when trying to load Lioden with the masses of pictures and huge amounts of links on a page.

Lioden works pretty well on my mobiles, both iPhone and Samsung. I agree about the slower loading time for sending lionesses on hunts and exploring, but it's something I can live with. Playing with and feeding the pride takes as much time as near to an hour though.

I can't wait to see the mobile version! Sending my lionesses/sub out is a little slow when I'm at work and trying to quickly send them out. XD

Thank you for letting us know, Kitty! :D
