Board Game Arena

Quite often I play BGA on iOS, either Iphone or Ipad (using built-in Safari browser). Unfortunately I also quite often have difficult time getting BGA to register my touches on the screen and I have experienced this for as long as I've played on BGA. This goes for both board actions and the Confirm buttons etc.

- I can see the browser is registering my touch as it briefly lights up a box behind the button.
- Sometimes I have to press the screen 5-10 times before BGA registers my press.
- Even if I zoom in maximum on the button, it is the same issue, leading me to believe it is very picky when it comes to how long my touch is. It can be too long and not too short.
- It happens on both Iphone and Ipad.
- It does not happen on any other website.


I haven't heard or seen anyone else complain about this so I assume it's my fault. But I can't help but think that BGA have some kind of code that alters the standard behavior of how the browser handles buttons?

Do you guys have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong here? Anyone else experienced this also?

I also experience this. Same browser. I was noticing it a lot at one time so switched to playing on desktop. Now I just deal with it, since it seems localized to just a few games. I know Teotihuacan is one that is particularly bad in this regard.

Perhaps try using Chrome instead? And see if there's a difference?
I myself use Chrome on iOS.

No issues with safari here.. btw chrime
On iOS use the same engine..

I just skip all the games that don't play right on my iPad or iPhone and wait until I reach my computer. Some games, like carcassone, i love but have just given up on trying. They never work right on any of my apple devices and that is all I have/

I've experienced this problem. Turning the iPad or phone so you're looking at landscape view instead of portrait view often - but not always - improves the click to let the play register with the game.

If you have a Bluetooth mouse synced to your iOS device, it makes some of the unplayable stuff work again. With a mouse, you can hover the cursor over things like the cards in Seasons, and you can use the scroll wheel to zoom out on the playing field in Carcassonne.

I usually have played BGA on my Android phone or tablet, and recently noticed this same issue on my recently acquired iPad Pro. I keep bouncing between Safari and Chrome to see which has fewer issues. Longpress for tooltips is very inconsistent, and regular press registers are like described above. It really surprises me, considering how smoothly these have been on my other device. Also, I’ve noticed that I can’t get any drop-down menus to work in Safari when trying to set up a room.

With for example 7 Wonders I just see info on a played card for a mili sec on my ipad when I tap it. Is probably a right click or hover over with mouse on PC.
Any way to fix this?

I have the exact same issue using chrome on iOS. Some games are unfortunately more or less unplayable. Any help would be appreciated!
