Do you guys actually like using BGA on your phone?

Honest question.

I have been trying to use Board Game Arena more on my phone lately. Mostly because it is convenient. Quick turns during the day, async games while waiting somewhere, etc.

But I am not sure I actually enjoy it.

Some games are ok. Others feel kind of cramped. I find myself zooming in and out a lot, double checking what I can click, sometimes worried I misclicked. In heavier games especially I sometimes lose track of what just happened on someone else's turn.

I want it to feel smoother than it does, if that makes sense.

For those of you who play on mobile regularly:

  • Is it actually a good experience for you?
  • Are there certain games that just work better on a phone?
  • Do you avoid some games because of how they feel on a small screen?
  • What is the most annoying thing about it?

Not trying to start a rant thread. Just curious if this is a me problem or a common one.
