Proper mobile app for tablets

Hi guys,

the current "BGA android app" just redirects you to the browser and normal website. Unfortunately games like Carcassonne are literally unplayable, even on big tablets, and are pain to play. E.G. you can“t see all the informations at once, zooming out is not easy to come by....

We need a proper mobile app which takes the screen size on mobile devices for the UI into consideration.

Thanks and have a wonderful rest of your week

All of BGA's games are built with browser interface using javascript and each game would require a complete rewrite to work with an app rather than a browser.

The Android version of the BGA app is just a wrapper around the browser because BGA only works in a browser. It's not a simple matter of "just make it into an app without a browser" because they're inexorably linked. You'd have to rewrite each game to make it work otherwise.
