    Why does this game freeze/crash so often on android?

    I've been playing this game for over 3 years now and the one thing that has remained is the freezing/crashing issues across three different devices (Samsung Galaxy S4, ASUS Google Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy S6). I've sent in numerous reports (I think through the play store?) to the point in which it's no longer an option for me and I'm only left with pressing wait or OK now. I used to think I could predict and figure out why it would freeze or crash but now I'm lost and the game freezes or crashes whenever it wants even doing simple things such as scrolling down the battle list, going to jobs, etc. No amount of waiting resolves the issue either and it's gotten to the point in which I just shut down the game ASAP to minimize time lost from waiting on it to unfreeze itself. Before all this, I also used to have issues with the game crashing so hard that it would restart my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4 and a few times on the Nexus 7) but lately that hasn't happened these days. Anyways I apologize for the rant but I've seriously gone mad from these issues. Is it just me or do others with android have this problem?

    P.S. I also use an old regular iPhone 4 and it rarely if ever freezes.

    My iPhone 4g , iPad 2 and iPhone 5s never have any problem. I also have a Samsung s3 mini and it works great as well.

      My android S7 Edge has constant crashing issues as well as timeout issues. I cannot look at the war log during EvE on my android.
      I also have an IPhone 4, which I use with mobile hotspot from my android.
      Using the Wi-Fi from my android, my iPhone has no issues, runs as smooth as possible.
      Android just sucks for UE

        I also have problems with the war log too. Sometimes it just comes out black and I have to reload it a few times to make the text show up and for me it eventually gets stuck and stops reporting any actions.

          Have the same case with my Android(HTC m8). Don't do much pvp because after 1-3 kills, it totally freezes and need to restart game. Scrolling in boss list, same thing. And many times just random freeze. I think some of the issue is in the scrolling mechanism.

          Got a mini on an old iphone 4 witch never freezes. Ever.

            I abandoned my android accounts a year ago but came back to them recently and noticed that the app is much more stable then it was before maybe down the road it will be as good as on iOS.

                    That is a universal issue. Happened on my 5,6+,&7.

                    Sometimes you have to click it then go back and forth a few times. There seems to be a transition overlay that freezes sometimes.

                      I play the game for 3 years also and through those years I've been experiencing the same problems. I often get timeouts, crashes maybe 3-4 times daily. Also, the game is working awfully on android. Crashes happen during PvP, EvE (especially when I bring up war log). GAEA should really focus on fixing the game so android users can get the same experience as iPhone.

                          I wish for 1 day they gave us an option to switch toons from Android to IOS, I would love to switch everything to my IPhones.

                              I think the answer is two parts. 1. They build in iOS and then convert to Android (you can find the post on the forums). 2 and most important is that each phone is different and each company releases a bit different version of Android software. Every iOS phone is exactly the same, so there are less compatibly issues. For Android they likely code to work with the most phones and tablets possible.

                              There was a time when a lot of Android phones were completely incompatible. Since they widened the number of devices served, the game play has gotten worse. I never had a problem with my first Android phone 3 years ago. But my tablets didn't work at all. Now all my devices work, but they are unstable.
