So as we all probably know, the 6.0 update has been considerably big, and probably took a long time to make a mobile compatable version. I just thought I'd do a little review of it. I am using my trusty iTouch to browse this. The mobile version was made mainly to be compatable with iPod Touches, iPhones and Androids.
Interface
The interface is simple, but made to snap to your screen so that you don't have to scroll to the left or right. However scrolling takes much longer to get up and down the screen. An example of where this is a big annoyance is in the rankings. Take a look at this picture:
Take a look at the amount of space each ranking takes up. Scrolling through 20 of these is a pain when simply wanting to search for a tribe or player. It would have been better to place the search boxes at the top. Also makes going through large threads a pain...
To make the screen less cluttered, they have simply moved the quick bar and the navigation obvions that run across the top of the screen into thrir own drop down menus.From these menus you can do the same as you would be able to normally, like visiting the rankings or your tribal forums. Pics:
Pretty simple, unchanged navigation there.

Straight to the topic with that picture. You can see that it is contained enough for me to fit it all in a sceenshot. If someone posts a large image then it won't do anything to the text or forum, just widen the screen. It is a pain scrolling through large threads, as stated before.
Overviews
Village- This is similar to the classic overview except the position of troop cout, movements, etc. Easy to navigate around.
Headquaters- A large page as each building takes a considerable amount of space, like in the rankings.
Recruit: Similarly to the HQ, each troop takes up a lot of room on the page, but is similar to the original, in just puting in a number and hitting go.
Rating: 6.5/10
Anyway, hope that helped
