I think that a tap-and-hold action creates the 'hover' effects for touchscreen devices, no? It does on my phone..

Yes, tap and hold works most of the time for me. It is a little wonky only in some games.

I believe it's not as reliable on iOS devices - my partner uses an iPad while I have an Android tablet. He has frequently complained he can't get hover info on the iPad (we also both sometimes play on a desktop PC) and I've compared my device with his and I can get info he can't (by using a long press/tap-and-hold).

Not on my iPad so maybe someone needs to fix the programming for iOS?

Or maybe someone needs to fix the iOS browser.

For iOS user (or anyone else) who can't get the hover to work: have you tried pinch-zooming in a little bit first, then trying it again? (Then pinch-zooming back out again so that you can actually read the hover info.) I think even I've had to do that on occasion with my Android browser to get it to actually work.

Yes please ! IOS has become the new IE of browsers, it's really a pain to have stupid restrictions because it *

*Moderator edit: please refrain from swearing on BGA, this is a family-friendly platform.

Das wird ja immer schrecklicher. Es dauert ewig bis man ein spielgesuch abgeben kann und dann bis es startet oder die Seite stürzt ganz ab. Nicht in Ordnung bringen und nicht mehr als Fehler melden können ist das ihre Lösung?
