I’ve been playing the game for around a month and absolutely love it! Been having a lot of fun playing through all the various game modes and building teams. I’m around level 120 and I have two wishlist things that I think would make the game more enjoyable. 1. Favorites/Pin 2. Portrait mode for mobile devices I love playing the game on my iphone 15 pro max, but man the phone is heavy and is uncomfortable to hold in that position for long periods. I have small hands too–I know I know, its a personal issue, BUT I found myself wishing this game was playable in portrait mode–even if it was just the actually match-3 game modes. My hands (and arms in a way) would really appreciate it. Not often, but sometimes I just boot up my PC to play instead of on the phone just to be more comfortable, but really I just wish to play on my phone 100% of the time! ---

Welcome @lemondrops! Those are great ideas. I think having a separate filter for our favourite troops would be really wonderful. While we do have a team slots (make sure you get those first set of Warband teams for an extra team slot each) it sure would be handy to have a list of favourite troops to make teams with quickly. I’m glad to see you’re enjoying the game and please feel free to reach out should you have any questions. 🥰 ---

> [@lemondrops](#): > > 1. It would just be nice to have the option to play the phone game both ways. i’m not an apple user but do you have some app for a splitting screen between 2 apps? we can do it on Android - i often open a notes and a game while playing ToD or open chests - it makes GoW smaller but vertical ---

Updated filters and a favourites pin are existing QOLs As for portrait mode, I’m not sure if this is something we will implement to support in future. Just as Nagflar mentioned, it would make the game screen, especially the board size reaaaallyyyy small as you will be limited by the width of your device screen. I have checked out MPQ and it’s a vertical **only** game, and I find it visually awkward and small ---

> [@Jeto](#): > > reaaaallyyyy small It doesn’t matters if you’re doing some spine stuff like GaPs or exps where all you do is tap 1 or 2 troops or spending fame (sigh…) without looking at a board. ---

It’s irrelevant if you are playing a game mode in a specific way if you don’t need to look at the board. The intention is you can view the board clearly and interact with it, so for that reason I do not think we would look into a portrait mode option. ---
