Viewing game log on Mobile devices

Post by MezJ »

I’ve been playing Ark Nova quite a bit on PC, iPad and on my mobile phone. I’ve seen that the game log (where it lists what has been done by each player step wise) is available on PC and tablets but I can’t seem to find it in the mobile version. In real-time games, it’s not a problem but it would be really useful if it was available somewhere down the page for turn-based games. Does anyone know if there is an option to turn it on on mobile?

Thanks in advance!!

Mine's in the same place for every game and has been since I joined. Lower right corner of the screen just to the left of the button that opens chat. (I'm on an Android device.)

Is this in the Android app or in a web browser? I’m on an iOS device (no app as far as I am aware of) so am using the Safari web browser.

EDIT: Tried it on the Chrome app for iOS and there’s no game log there either.

Same. Works perfectly fine for me on all games.

Out of curiosity, are you holding your device in portrait or landscape mode?

I just figured out that if I use landscape mode, it shows the log! But don’t show it when it’s in portrait mode. Kind of strange that it doesn’t just show the log further down for portrait mode.

I'm in portrait all the time.

Also, worth noting (if my understanding is correct), Apple only allows Safari on their phones. Any other browser is basically just a skin over top of Safari.

So, in general, changing browsers on IOS doesn't help anything as they're all Safari underneath.

Yup you were right. Chrome has the same issue. But now that I know it works in landscape it’s at least better than before. Thanks for the input everyone!
