How do you guys play Pitwall?

- On a Desktop PC / Laptop?
- On a tablet (ie iPad)
- Mobile (iPhone / iPod touch etc)

I'd like to support Franks development by seeing how many bugs occur between users of certain devices; and to see if there is actually a higher demand for tablet / mobile use than believed.

I know Frank said it wasn't designed to be an app or mobile game, but I think the audience is higher than we think. It might also highlight any finetuning of the display problems and support a layout that works for all of us.

I may be wrong... let's see!

20% Windows PC (Chrome) / 70% Mobile (Android Chrome) / 10% iPod Touch (Chrome).

I use mobile to read the chat logs / send test laps / set qualifying runs and check development progress.

I use the desktop to setup race pit strategies as mobile is too hit and miss in working properly as it doesn't always update. I only use desktop to develop parts as the buttons are too small and have 'deleted' or 'finished' many a part at 90% because of this.

I use oculus rift mostly and the rest of the time I project it onto the side of one of my cats.

I mostly play on my desktop pc but during work hours I sometimes sneak a peek, especially during testing days, with my android phone

50/50 desktop in Chrome and iPhone 6 Chrome. If I'm away, phone is the only way to set pitstops etc, and logging in to start research etc

I like that the full site is available on mobile, I don't think I would support the idea of a cut down version, but the the way the menu behaves, things not collapsing properly make it tough.

On the current layout, just a few media queries would go a really long way.

From time to time I have checked Mobile but found it too hard and no real need to check the site all the time.

My play time is 30mins (maybe) Thursday and 30mins Saturday

I would be about 50/50 at the moment but it would be a lot higher on Android if it worked and unfortunately for mobile devices the update was a step backwards :(

I mainly play from my phone (Android) but use a PC/Mac for setting race strategy (so I can open my strategy spreadsheet side-by-side with Pitwall).
